My Genting Trip (pt 3)

All the while everyone told me that in Genting there is no shopping. Wonder why all these bs about nothing to shop? There are shops there. Perhaps there is nothing for you to buy but there are shops. I managed to bought some DVDs from a DVD shop. There are others such as a shop for local snacks. I bought a pack of pork floss. So Genting is like a big mini town. Yes there are like 3 to 4 buildings and within them the amusment park that links them. Within them the shops and hotels. Of course for those with extra time to spare then can always go downhill to the nearby town for shopping.

My Genting trip (pt 2)

One thing no one ever seems to mention is that Genting is a theme park. It is a small theme park as compare to what I saw in Korea and probably smaller than those asian Disney worlds. It is, I think much bigger than whatever theme park in Singapore. And of cause the rides are much better and thriller. I tried the Pirate ship and well, you can get the thrill feel much the same when on the swing. I didn't try the rocket launcher. Think I am way over the ahe for that level of thrill. There is another ride that you lay down on the stomach and hold on to a pole while it slide up and down a track. That certainly makes you scream not because of the joy but seem more like cursing when you feel you are about to lose grip. It would worth a second ride although I don't want to try it again then.

My Genting trip (pt 1)

Whenever Genting was mentioned, everyone would think of casino. During the weekend I finally get to walk into that place for the first time. The First World hotel lobby reminds me of some eastern european theme. After a while I get to visit the casino. Nothing impressive, as I have been to Macau and entered one of the casino there. Compared with this one, the Genting casino is smaller. Very much smaller. Everything got electronic. The jackpot just doesn't let you pull levers anymore. All pressing button and you will be at the mercy of the computer program. The good thing I like it is the free drink. For the drink I made an effort to enter the casino for two more times. :D
