My kingdom. My World: KK Trip

My first impression on KK was that it's a very developed city.

Much more develop than our hornbill state. Why is it so?? How come it's more developed than our cities?? Answers to that question, we have to ask our Hornbill government.

We walked along the road near the river side. I saw quite a few fishing boats along the river.

There's an dry market selling fruits and veges. After that, there's also big pasar malam ( i was there in the evening). A very big one, selling all sorts of food, including fresh fruits and vege straight from the mountain.

The sunset.

Then, there is also this big handicraft market inside a native-looking building with about at least 50 stalls inside selling all sorts of handicrafts. All of the stalls sell 2 things in common. South sea pearls and crystal. Swarovski crystal, or so they claimed.

I love the evening sky.

They are sold as accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants. The design varies from stall to stall as the stall keepers make the accesories themselves. The pearls are also sold as individual single bead. They come in 2 colors. Black pearls and the normal pearlish-white color that we usually see. The symmetrical pearls are considered the best i think coz their prices are very high. There are also those oblong shaped pearls, which is so much cheaper.

I bought one bracelet myself. A simple design. Very cheap. Cost only RM20.

It's so cheap because it has only few beads of oblong pearls on it as you can see the from the design yourself.

I compared it with my other fake plastic pearl necklace.

The imitation.

I made a comparison for the pearls.

Left: south sea pearl Right: Imitation

The fake pearl mirrors the surrounding more clearly while the so-called south sea pearl have an array of blue-pinkish colors glowing from within.

Further down, there's food outlets, selling seafood and western dishes.

That's the river side. You see how clear the water is??

Then after that, we went back to out hotel, took a shower, a short rest and head out again for dinner. Had a couple of drinks and head back to the hotel again.

I watched tv. For about 15 min. Then i went to bed.
