Nevertheless, I’ll keep your comments in mind. <br /><br />LeSan, Daisy, Mary Delle, Di, Lynn, Joey, Jessica. I hope that you could visit Perak Caves when you come to Malaysia one day. <br /><br />Chang Boon, it is so nice to get this comment from you. Thank you very much for adding your own experiences regarding these places in the comments to my post here. I truly appreciate it very much. However, your profile here does not provide me with a link, otherwise I can visit your blog too.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-20940704365913251862009-10-13T16:07:08.484+08:002009-10-13T16:07:08.484+08:00Very nostalgic, yes.

I am a KL-ite but yet I could feel some sort of affinity or bond everytime I visit these caves. Yours mentioning about Kampar food has brought back very sweet memories of my childhood when my dad brought us there for breakfast from Kampung Timah a new village just next to Tronoh Mines. My mum is from Kampung Timah. Those were probably my most care free days..Beautiful kampung(village) sceneries and crisp fresh air not to mention we get to fill up our stomach to the brim with less than one ringgit.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415661742152781712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-20141539842833248182009-10-13T12:12:17.726+08:002009-10-13T12:12:17.726+08:00Thank you for the special tour.

I hope that you can visit this place one day. <br /><br />Sunshine girl, do visit this place again when you go to Perak. Just like Taiping, Gopeng, Kampar, Tanjung Tuallang, Batu Gajah and Papan, there is so much history and charm here in many towns of Perak. Quite often, Perak is left out when compared to Penang, KL and Melaka.<br /><br />Stephanie, my good friend, I am truly surprised that you haven’t been to Perak Caves. Do visit this place someday if you have time. This place is for people who love adventure, hiking, landscaped gardens, poetry, arts and culture.<br /><br />Oh Barry, I can see that you like arts and culture too. I like the way you said om mani padme hum!<br /><br />Bangchik, I will show you what’s inside the cave in my following 2 posts. <br /><br />Rainfield, it is definitely a good idea to visit all the caves in Perak, especially for a person who likes adventures like you. Different caves have different specialties and charm. Currently, Gua Tempurung seems to be more heavily promoted. <br /><br />Rosey, yes, it is nice to relive the past if the memories are happy ones. Thanks for singing along the Que Sera Sera song with me.<br /><br />Poetic Shutterbug, do look out for my next post on this temple. I hope that you will like the arts and drawings but maybe the culture may be quite foreign to you.<br /><br />FJL, I am so glad to hear from you again. I was just wondering where is my friend FJL when I see you here. Panjang umurlah, engkau! LOL. I’ll hop over to your blog soonest possible. I’m very excited about the meme award post.<br /><br />Wendy, besides the monkey, I also longed to have a parrot as a pet when I was young. I really loved the parrot and what it can do in the Enid Blyton adventure series. I was fascinated with talking animals then. I hope you can get to know more about Malaysia after reading my blog.<br /><br />James, do visit this cave. I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Batu Caves too. I guess you too have a lot of memories with Batu Caves which is so close to your home.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-35121719373318332682009-10-12T14:11:16.307+08:002009-10-12T14:11:16.307+08:00What a nostlagic moment!

A great moment of time where you can always go back and reflect family history.<br />Its a sad thing to note that it is not as grand as how it was in the past.<br />If I come to Ipoh, I would make an effort to check this Caves and admire the beauty as you have captured it.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-12063035117120095332009-10-12T09:30:55.399+08:002009-10-12T09:30:55.399+08:00Its location is just breathtaking.
