One of our most recent adventures was to a Theme Park at Genting Highland. It is known as the “Las Vegas” of Malaysia. That is not so much how we would describe it, well besides the fact that it has a Casino.
But anyway, on Saturday the 13th we headed out to the bus stop at about 6:30 am to take a 2 hour bus ride with about 40 other INTI students to the city in the mountains! The drive was absolutely beautiful, and we got to enjoy the scenery with no problem because I am pretty sure the bus didn’t go over 20 mph the whole way there! To get to Genting we rode a sky rail that took us hundreds of feet above the jungle to the peak of the mountain where the two theme parks are located. The ride up was amazingly beautiful. We should however mention that before getting onto the sky rail we had to take a few group pictures and we would like to fill you in on our experience with that. One of the “professors” came with on the trip. I put quotes around professor because she told us that she was in fact a teacher but giggled hysterically after saying this, which lead us to believe that it was a joke. We never found out for sure. She felt the need to grab Shannon’s hand and drag here all around everywhere she went before the group photo. During the actual group photo session she put her arm around Shannon and held her hand. As you can all imagine Shannon reaction, she was crying she was laughing so hard from being not only being uncomfortable but just downright confused. Shannon turned to Meghan as to say “what the hell is going on?” but was stopped when Meghan just shook her head saying we will talk about it later. Right after the group photo when Meghan was thinking she was out of the clear the lady moved onto her, clinging to her side telling her that she as coming back to the US with us! We spent the next half hour hiding behind brochures until we were able to go our own ways. Other than that the day was very good.
Genting has two theme parks; an outdoor and an indoor. The rides can’t really hold a candle to Valleyfair but we still enjoyed ourselves. The weather was more Wisconsin like which was a good change from the usual 80 degree humid days we have in Nilai. The indoor theme park even has a “snow world” that was pretty cool. We didn’t actually go in because you have to pay extra and we figured we would see enough snow when we get back. We spent most of the day walking around the theme parks usually going on the rides that gave you a tour/ overview of both parks. It was an overall great day, as all of our days are. Great adventures full of laughter!
