Ipoh: Malaysia’s Jurassic Park

<p>About 129 miles north from Kuala Lumpur city (Malaysia) lies a sleepy town called Ipoh in the state of Perak. It&rsquo;s a beautiful town but people often drive past Ipoh in order to get to Penang, the more touristy hub for holiday makers.</p> <p>Penang, which is an island, is another two hours drive north from Ipoh. It is a little fancier because it happens to be a heritage city under UNESCO. Compared to Ipoh, Penang has all you need on a traveler&rsquo;s passport: street food, history, beaches, watering holes, nightlife, quaint cafes and the right kind of people fluent in English. Much like Beyonc&eacute; Knowles in Destiny&rsquo;s Child. There are two other members, but Beyonc&eacute;&#39;s the glamorous one destined to headline the world while the other members &mdash; Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland &mdash; cheer her on supportively while doing their bit in modest proportion (or else it would have been&nbsp;<em>Destiny&rsquo;s Children</em>).</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/ellemeno/ipoh-malaysias-jurassic-park-cc719d389414"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
