Continuing from where I left off .......
. . .
We went to Mini Asean which is also part of the Mini Malaysia site.
The first thing we noticed was the suspension bridge. That was new!! The last time I was here, there was no suspension bridge at all. Brian and En were excited and walked across. There was a group of high school students who were behind En and Brian. They jumped on the bridge, making the whole walk more exciting.
I thought that with the suspension bridge, they must've upgraded the Asean houses. I remember the last time I were here, the houses were so badly maintained, I was so embarrassed because I was playing tour guide to a foreigner.
.
Right after that bridge, we came to a pool with a man made beach at the end. This reminded me of the huge man made beach right in the heart of Brisbane city area. Of course, this was a much smaller version of it. The pool looked clean and well maintained. Perhaps, I thought to myself, the management did maintain the Asean houses.
We came to the first house. A huge mansion. The Singapore house. Sad to say, it was not maintained at all and we couldn't even go in. The whole house looked spooky and there were puddles of water all over the floor, plus we saw some rotten dining chairs right outside the house. Gosh! It was a sight for sore eyes!
We walked on .... and found that most of the houses were as bad as the Singapore mansion, if not worse. So we just walked around the place, looking at the facade of each house. The children were by then feeling very tired and restless. They wanted excitement, not just a long walk back to the entrance.
En kept saying that the place stank. We saw people burning leaves nearby. Gosh!! Polluting the air right in the middle of a tourist site. This is certainly not good at all!!!
Needless to say, the Mini Asean was a great disappointment and embarrassment. I would prefer if they quadrant off this whole section and concentrate only on Mini Malaysia until they upgrade the whole area.
Well, I guess they did do something to it ... by adding the suspension bridge, the pool and some other challenging stuff for the youth to do but I do wish that the would do something about the houses. Those houses actually looked haunted.
Right before we left Mini Asean, we were at the suspension bridge again and Brian & En jumped on to it, walked to the other side and back again.
It was drizzling slightly and we hurried off to go look for ice cream at the entrance.
There were ice cream for sale there but we didn't buy any because the selection was not great.
