Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands is 1300m above sealevel and located in the north of Malaysia. It's famous for its tea plantage and you find many many Hotels/Hostels and Restaurants. If you have been suffering the heat, this is the perfect place to go. I'm staying in a Hostel right in the center and once again there are no windows. The morning in Kuala Lumpur I took the bus at 10.30 am, when I arrived,covered in sweat and exhausted as I was walking with a 18kg backpack (I can't throw away my books), I noticed that my purse was gone. I must have forgotten it at the hostel because I was paying so much attention that no one grabs my bag! I called the reception and they fortunately still had it. I walked backwards and forwards again. 
People at the busstation won't leave you alone! Every three meters someone came up to me and asked: Bus? Bus?
No thank you, I already have my ticket and everything, I know where to go.
The busdrive took us 4 hours and while sitting in the bus I nearly threw up. But that was the same in Australia. There are so many curves and the bussdriver is breaking and so on. I suffered a bit but than we finally arrived. I didn't do much that day, I spoke to some girls from my dorm and we exchanged experiences.
During the bussdrive I had an awesome view, I saw beautiful landscape and for my surprise very very nice little houses sometimes. I haven't seen one family houses in Singapore, just heaps of skyscrapers. The street was surprisingly good, I'd say in the south of Italy things are much worse! The bus I drove with was very convenient as there were only three seats in one raw and not four, as it usually is. I had a lot of space but still after a while I started to feel very uncomfortable. Anywaaay, when we started to see the teaplantages from out of the bus that was amazing, it looked really really cool. Today I'm going to visit them and take some more pics, to show you.

Ok, what I miss:
My bed. my room. A warm bath. Good yoghurt, milk and coffee. A good piece of chicken. In Australia they were too expensive and here in Asia you should be careful with meat. 
My friends, my family, my dog. A computer! Sitting down and being able to type something. I miss being able to be creative, even though I'm trying stuff out with henna and stickers. Get dressed nicely. Having a routine. Watching TV.
Not being forced to bring all your stuff when you want to shower. My closet.

What I don't miss:
Hard to say... Maybe our public transport? Because here either you don't need one or you book a bus, which is always convenient. The metro in Singapore was awesome. I don't miss  my bathroom as such, the showers and the toilets are alright.
