哥哥 was sick from Monday with flu, cough and fever. Luckily recovered in time to go for his school trip on Friday. Papa is his chaperone and he took lots of photos this time. The itinerary is slightly different from the one Cherry went. But he enjoyed it very much all the same. He was looking forward to going on a school trip for ages after he had enviously seen Cherry go on so many trips.
Transportation
First from school to Penang Jetty by bus, then take ferry across to Prai terminal. After that, the anticipated train ride to Taiping!

Traditional Coffee and Biscuit Factory At Taiping
First stop, they stopped to visit a traditional coffee mill called Antong. It's interesting to see how coffee is processed. However Papa complaint that some of the product like chocolate malt and 3-in-1 mocha is not that nice heheh. Maybe we are more used to Starbucks/Coffee Bean type :P

Next visit to traditional biscuit factory. The biscuits are good! They bought quite a lot here :)

| Traditional charcoal biscuit called mah tai soh, very good! |
Perak Museum
After that, the group tour went to Perak Museum. This is quite interesting as it has an outdoor and indoor portion. At least 哥哥 enjoyed it though. Note to myself, we'd been to museums at other states but not step foot even once at our own Penang Museum! Must bring children during school holidays :P

Taiping Zoo
Papa said the visit to Taiping Zoo this time is rocket-fast. So didn't really enjoy it. The children should be allowed more time to see the animals! I think it's the problem of the tour guide who rushed through this visit. Taiping Zoo is the nearest zoo to us from Penang.

Gallery Sultan Azlan Shah, Kuala Kangsar
Absolutely the most beautiful place I've been :) Nice photos, Papa :) Too bad they didn't turn on the water fountain, otherwise it is even more beautiful.

Masjid Ubudiah, Kuala Kangsar
Indeed a beautiful mosque, dubbed the most beautiful mosque in Perak :)
Papa said they only see another museum and the palace from the bus. The tour guide didn't stop for them :( A photo would have been nice outside the beautiful Kuala Kangsar palace. Most of the kids are too tired to go down by now. So after this they went for dinner. They'd been out all day! Hope Papa will bring all of us to Kuala Kangsar for photos next time!
哥哥 was so happy that you can see the glow in his eyes in the photos of his first school trip :)
