Charcoal factory visit
There is an instructor who will talked how the charcoal is produced , on the whole process involved from scratch until the end products like vinegar, floor cleaner
The instructor also mentioned that the trees are transported to the factory via the river.
I tried to carry the tree, and to be honest, it is heavy & is not easy to move it up
Boat tour at Kuala Sepetang
Activities here included:
- Tour around the village with speedboat
- Fish feed by ownself
- View eagle feeding by boat captain
During the eagle feeding activities, the boat captain dump some the food to the river, which contains chicken oil . I remembered , chicken oil is one of the ingredients . The purpose is to attract the eagles to come over. At the same time, the boat captain need to do some whistling sound to attract a bunch of eagles to fly around at the designated area.
The day ends with checkin to hotel at Flemington Hotel, Taiping.
