Found ‘Round Old Town

Thursday, December 3 - What I really want is a streetmap of Ipoh. There are so many little side streets and winding roads in this town that every time we head out from the family house I get lost within about 10 seconds!

The best for me to learn the lay of the land would be to follow along on a streetmap as we drive. I know I would quickly get my bearings. Only problem is that streetmaps seem to be pretty scarce.

Junkii’s brother thought we might find one at the Ipoh Visitor/Tourism centre located in Old Town, Ipoh. Junkii took the opportunity to give me a little walking tour of Old Town – home to hundreds of old colonial style buildings and small shops. Here are a few of the images we snapped, along with a brief video blog entry.

  1. Cool video! Videos do give you more of a feel for the places where you are. The sound was all right too.

  2. The video was a bit of a pain to upload because the file size was way too big. We're going to experiment with different sizes these next few days and find an optimal format, hopefully.

  3. What camera did you use for the video? The canon? It turned out really well, and I love the little tour guide feel.
