Cameron Highlands 260605a: British relics

Today, on our long drive from Ketereh (in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia) to Shah Alam (Selangor state capital), via the Gua Musang - Simpang Pulai highway (for a total distance of more than 500km), we decide to take a break in historic Cameron Highlands. As usual the city slickers swarm this area today, mainly to buy vegies, strawberries and maybe flowers. And some of them drive around in their expensive cars, with air-conditioner running while the outside temp is in the low 20s. :-)

But look around and one can find other interesting stuff as well. It's amazing how much influence the Brits colonialists had on this hill resort cum agricultural centre.
