The Shops
Having the best climate with an altitude of about 6,000 feet above sea level, Genting Highlands is surely one of the best destinations in the world. The whole place was developed by the Malaysian government as an entertainment city with one of the longest and steepest cable car facility in Asia.
Only 45-minute off Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands is very accessible. There are public transport buses leaving every 20 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. There are also buses from Singapore that go straight to Genting Highlands.
The place has a huge theme park with all the shops, stores, and fun rides of different types and speeds. There is also a monorail that goes around the theme park while a hotel and Casino is likewise available for tourists staying overnight or longer.
There are also concerts and performances booked at the Casino and hotel while other attractions like the cable car, the malls and a mini-zoo completes the package for tourists looking for non-stop fun and entertainment at the highlands. The cable car travels 15-minute down and 15-minute going up over Genting’s beautiful rain forest. About 200 cable cars travel at the same time with a maximum of eight persons per car. The cars leave the station every 15 minutes from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
At 2 to 4 p.m., Genting is literally covered with fog. So when you visit this great entertainment city, bring along sweaters and jackets so as not to catch colds! (Story by Mini A./Photos by Trends and Spots)

Trends and Spots chilled it out at the renowned bar with newly-found friends Chen of Malaysia, Aira Suarez, Shirley Abungan and her fiancé. Sporting the Trends and Spots t-shirts while mingling and dancing with the crowd, the two buddies had fun at the Hard Rock last July 4.

Thumbs up for Hard Rock Cafe!
At the bar.
The place is packed with tourists, mostly Caucasians and Singapore nationals. A complete line of booze fills the bar, which is decorated with gold saxophone and cool glasses and pitchers from Carlsberg. For those who want to dine, the bar also offers a few tables but the whole bar is rocked by the energetic bands. We catched the Skyline Band by the way. They play at the Hard Rock Café KL every Mondays to Saturdays. I love them. They played all my favorite ‘90s rock songs.

Leaving the Philippines last July 2, the Rotary Club of Metro Clark was led by President Maribel Sison and signed a memorandum of agreement with the RC Sentul for mutual development of both organizations and their recipient communities.
