Tea plantations


I soon gave up on the idea of travelling to the hill country (Cameron Highlands) north of Kuala Lumpur when I realised the enduring extent and pervasiveness of British rule.  Have a look at the hotel architecture in the main Highlands city of Tanah Rata - Google it ( I tried to add photos here unsuccessfully)  Who could love this mock Tudor?  Most hotels and resorts have it somewhere etc.  No, I decided, I wasn’t visiting an Asian country to get a dose of England – wrong place, wrong time.  Nevertheless, I hope that out of buses as I travel into the country, I might pass tea plantations.
