Perhaps, Pengkalan Hulu is not a small town after all. Its shops may seemed to be focused in a small area, however, its villages are pretty wide spread. Here, we have names like Kuak Hulu, Lata Kasut (Shoe Waterfall) and Bukit Sejuk (Cold Hill), simple and straight to the point.
One of the main attractions in Pengkalan Hulu, is a man-made lake near the town. On the day we arrived, the locals were celebrating Pesta Air (Water Festival). As we drove by the lake, both sides of the road were filled with colourful make-shift stalls, selling all sorts of food and beverage. Some even took the opportunity to sell clothes, electrical goods and services. It was such an excellent opportunity for entrepeneurs that the narrow lane was packed with cars, vans and people.
On that day, the organizer even organized fishing competition, duck catching competition, egg searching competition... Hmm! I must say... it enticed not only kids, but also curious grown ups who wished to recapture their childhood!
