A Trip Up North (Part 2)

Friday (16 Feb 2007) saw us visiting the famous terusan Wan Mat Saman. After much searching, we found the irrigation canal which really looked nothing more than a monsoon drain! Still, it played an important part in the state's economy :-)

Next we headed for the Paddy Museum near Gunung Keriang. Interesting place with a revolving gallery where you can view a huge 360-degree mural of paddy planting activities.

After lunch we headed home, stopping on the way in Gurun, at the foot of Gunung Jerai, to sample nira nipah. Smells a bit like todddy but not as strong in taste. Reasonably pleasant and sweet.
