| Scenery from the top of Bkt Larut |
Last December, during the school break, I was asked by my lil sista to bring her to Bkt Larut, which also known as Maxwell Hill. To those who never heard about it, go google it.hehe.c",)

Bkt Larut is located at Taiping and it's one of main attractions of Taiping, a historic city. Since, Taiping is pretty close to my hometown, it pretty much becomes my family regular destination for our school break, especially the zoo and waterfall, but we never had the chance to go to Bkt Larut together. I dont know why, myb cz it simply just didn't cross our mind.
So, when my lil sista come out wt the idea going to Bkt Larut, I thought it's not a bad idea. We decided a date, unfortunately my dad couldnt join us. On that day, we went pretty early, if i was not mistaken, at around 8:00 am and we reached there few minutes before nine. The parking area wasn't full, I easily found a place to park. I thought it's a good sign, but I was wrong.

Once we arrived at the office to buy the jeep ticket to go to the top, we're told that the ticket was sold out. NONE left. Damn it, it's still early and there's no more ticket to go to the top for the whole day. It's totally suck but nothing can be done. Since we're already at Taiping, I brought them to zoo. Futhermore, it's been awhile since the last time we went there. From outside, we can see that there're a lot of changes there.

However, we didn't give up. We chose another date and we planned to go there a little bit earlier. For the second attempt, I guess we departed before seven in the morning and arrived there before 8 am. Once again, parking wasn't crowded. There're few empty parking lots. But, myb 2 or 3 buses were parked there.

I had a bad feeling about this. We rushed to the office. We saw the sign that ticket was sold out but there're some people still lining up to get the ticket. I joined them, just wanna try my luck. Unfortunately, I ended up wasting my time there. Still couldn't get the ticket. They told me that no early booking is allowed. No choice, this time, we then decided to go to Burmese pool. Can u imagine going to a waterfall pretty early in the morning? We're the first family arrived there.

Honestly, till the moment I'm writing this, I'm confused why is it so freaking difficult to get a jeep ticket to Bkt Larut? Is it cz of too many tourist going there? Or myb it is cz of the bad management? I'm actually leaning towards the second point for some reasons that I dont wanna mention here. just go there and you'll see.
Recently, I heard that the gov is going to build a cable car to the top of the hill. However, since there're few groups who are against and protest this project, it hasn't started yet. It's still under discussion. Part of me say that this project actually is a good project to solve to the problem mentioned above and also could help to attract more tourists to go there, consequently improve the tourism industry.
