Hiking Rawang Bypass

Matsuda MashimaruLeave a comment

500 meters rambling from Taman Rawang Perdana to the trailhead, pass through a drainage tunnel underneath the Rawang Bypass highway then hike up on a steep wall retainer next to the busy highway on top of Bukit Matt (200m) for a gorgeous view of the highest viaduct highway in Malaysia. Going down is a challenge too. You either choose to hike down from the same route you came from or you could hike down on the other side of the hill and then cross over to the other side of the road through a path under the highway.

One thing lead to another, I started with a 3 km brisk walk at the park and continued with easy hikes at some local trails then a friend invited me to join him for a half-day hike at Gunung Angsi in Negeri Sembilan.

I know that it will be tough compared to our usual short trails but I said yes to the friend, we gotta do this!

The most that I did was random scrolling on social media for hours and hours, from morning till late at night. Half of the year was spent being stuck at home complying with the PKP, PKPP, PKPD, PKPPPPPPP whatever (lockdown due to C19). Hours and hours of idle time… yet my brain went blank during the whole period while stuck at home.

Vlog: walking on the street of Dhaka, Bangladesh

A vlog about my street walk on the street of Dhaka, Bangladesh in December 2017.

Staying grounded here at home gave me more time to dig out my old travel videos and compile them into a story for my YouTube vlog. Looking back at these videos remind me of the joy of being surrounded by people, and strangers on the streets of the borderless world … human being are definitely social creatures.
