By The Way, Ipoh's Indians can speak CANTONESE. We also bought those 3-in-1 stachets for White Coffee. Those who want a packet tell me. To be honest, Ipoh is very boring, but relaxing. 3 recommended Hotels if you want to go there: Syuen Hotel(near shopping centre), Hotel Excelsios(can't remember how to spell) or Hillcity Hotel(near lots of caves). The taxi is quite cheap though, if you take those with Chinese drivers. No chinese taxi drivers asked for more than 8ringgit. Their pau is damn big, and when the Crepe and waffle in Singapore is soft, theirs is crispy. Ipoh is very small, and don't trust the map too much. Damn sala. Man, this is the LONGEST post i've ever written...
