Travelling is a way to get experience



Everyone loves to travel when they have the extra money or savings. For some, they travel every month for business while for others, students travel during the school has a long holidays, older people travel because retired want to enjoy their live. This depends of people. For me I love travel because I think you can get experience and learn from traveling. So the travel can be fun and excited.

Last year I finished the English class, so I had planed go back to Indonesia. But my friends suggested we go to travel, this is a good chance. So they told me not go back too early. After that I think this also a good idea. Then we discussed where we want to travel. One of my friends suggested the Cameron Highlands. All of us were agreeing. Cameron Highland is the area enjoys a cool clime which is about 1524m above sea level. It is perpetually spring season through out the year with its cool temperature no higher than 20 degrees Celsius. The cool climate also attracted a young British resident, John Archibald Russells, who saw the potential of tea as an important cash crop in the region, thus began Boh Estate, the first highland tea plantation established in 1929. With its fertile soil the highland was found to be conducive for commercial cultivation of vegetables, fruits and flowers. Cameron Highland is tropical rainforest which is one of the most complexes in the region; it holds many secrets of the living eco-system.

On 03 October 2008, we traveled to Cameron Highland. I was so excited. It is a little bit same with Genting Highland-meanly the place because the place is cool. Then we arrived, the service asked which tour we want to visit. First is Leisure Tour, second is Nature Discovery Tour, then Agro Delight tour and the last one is Sunrise Spectacular. We didn’t choose all; only choose the Nature Discovery Tour. The tour separate to four places. The first is Tea Plantation; in here I learned how to distinguish many kinds of tea and a lot of information about tea. I had seen a spectacular phenomenon, the tea plantation field together with the blues skies. It was absolutely breathtaking. Secondly is Breath Taking View, it height of 6666 feet above sea level. In there I saw the whole Cameron Highland and we enjoyed the cool crisp mountain air admits serenity of the surroundings. Third is Mossy Forest. A world of wonders of nature awaits me. Be awe-struck by the variety of pitcher plants of different shapes and sizes, beautiful wild orchids and herbal plants such as the famous “Kacip Fatimah”. Then the last one is Aboriginal Resettlement. It is the place that original people live. All of the places were very interesting. My general knowledge became increase because I learned a lot of things from this traveling. This was a good experience that I ever get. That’s why I like to share with my friends and also my classmates.
