HSBC bungalow

Frasier Hill is a colonial-era British hill station that is about an hour and a half (or 2?) north of Kuala Lumpur. It offers KLites a nice break from the heat of the valley but not too much else. Then again, this can be attractive too. The road to get there has a section that winds around the mountains and is too narrow for cars moving in both directions. So cars often have to wait for the directional change several times throughout the day. The town is really cute if not overpriced and aside from a few expansive golf courses, the area is well forested. I went with a friend of mine and his family to their company bungalow (nice views). I even got to try homemade grapefruit jam. 'Yum' and 'yuck' at the same time! Glad I tried it though. There's a nice lake where you can rent paddle boats and a well-positioned vista nearby for splendid views. But unless you plan to come here to relax and wind down, you might be disappointed.
