Calvin in Genting Highlands Malaysia


In my fun, long four week holiday, I went to many places. But the main experience I had was when I went to the Genting Highlands resort and theme park, high up in the mountains of Malaysia with my mum, auntie and two cousins. This place is so high up in fact, that we had to travel three and an quarter kilometers up the mountain in a cable-car just to get there!
Long and boring climb up, but we eventually made it to our hotel called First World Hotel, which had a total of about 6,000 rooms. It took us a cracking 4 hours just to check in to this place! Typical when it is holiday seasonJ!
When we got to our room which was on the sixth floor, we dumped our bags and went to a place to eat. And that place happened to be McDonalds! I was so hungry that I had two Big Macs, one Double Cheeseburger, one large fries and one large Coke to satisfy my hunger.  
Apart from check in and eating, we spent some of our first night in the indoor theme park of Genting. I immediately tackled the haunted house, and the Ripley’s Believe it or not museum, because I thought they were the best looking attractions that you could I could indoor.
The next morning I had breakfast at a place in the indoor theme park that sold traditional Kaya Toast. It was wonderful! Then at ten a.m. sharp, I lined up at the ticket counters to buy a ticket for riding the indoor and outdoor roller coasters. I purchased the ticket for 60 Malaysian Ringgits, just to get access to every thriller there was in this high altitude resort world. These roller coasters were not the scariest rides I’ve been on in my life, but it was still a hell of a ride.        
Apart from the mind blowing coasters, and indoor attractions, we also had round of glow in the dark bowling. In glow in the dark bowling, the room is dimly lit, and the bowling balls and pins all glow to give a cool neon glow color. The strange part of that game is, that I played a way better score that I do in normal bowling, which is strange considering the amount of lighting there is in glow in the dark bowling compared to normal bowling.
The next day we went back to Kuala Lumpur to stay for three more nights. And this was bad news for me because I had to put up with a little thing called shopping. In the mall I am known for only one thing. And that thing is called the art of waiting in pure boredom. Thank god I survived all the waiting that I had to do.
That night we at ice cream at a very strange place. This place was called T-BOWL. And the chair weren't exactly chairs, they were toilets. The reason why I wanted to eat ice cream was because it came in a bath tub shaped plate. This was a very strange place I ate at, but I will recommend it to anyone that wants to eat ice cream there, as it was very nice.
After our last few days in Malaysia, we pack up our bags and headed back to Indonesia, to spend the last remaining week of my holiday.
