We arrived in Machang at about 4:30pm. I have two sisters whose houses are side by side. They bought 2 acres of hilly land and divided into two.

The durian "belum masak". so we only had rambutan left. The trees were full of "kerengga", so we cut off the trunks with fruits.

So now we could enjoy the trip with some easy listening. next, Part 2. n.g.
