Alor Setar 1 day tour






It had been ages since I update my blog, this is because my stupid uni block my photo uploading web site and do not know why if I use blogspot photo uploader it take ages to upload a photo no matter the size of the photo is big or small.

Actually this trip to Alor Setar is last month trip and I blog it until now partly due to my laziness, anyway I still blog it. The tower you see above picture is the Menara Alor Setar that situated in the centre of Alor Setar. This is the first time I and my friend rent car to tour around Alor Setar and this menara had been our point of reference since all of us do not know how to get around in Alor Setar. That menara is the first stop of our trip. Thank god Alor Setar is not big and we purposely went on to the top of the menara to find places and road leading to the places around Alor Setar. According to the brochure this menara is the 52nd tallest tower in the world. The main duty of this menara is telecommunication by using its height. Telekom manage this tower and the same goes to KL tower. Both also a telecommunication tower with the latter is taller and more high class.

After touring around in the Alor Setar city centre we went to Tesco, the newly build and the first Giant supermarket build in Alor Setar and to our amazement there were Big Apple Donuts shop inside Tesco!!!! That is my first time eating Big Apple donut. After eating it I also do not know why their Low Yat branch always got people queing up to grab those donuts. The donuts is normal but surely better than Dunkin Donut, but i also do not know what is the point for queing up just only to grab some donuts???
