From my house to the orang asli heritage center gombak, it takes about 30-40 min to reach there depends on the traffic. Im using the MRR2 highway to reach there from Kampung Pandan, then from Ampang straight to Gombak which i have to enter 'Pekan Gombak'. Then from there, i have to went to the village area of Gombak where the direction to the orang asli center and village must be through that road. The scenary there was pretty amazing because it is jungle and well preserve. Going there wasn't actually that hard because i got someone to guide me there who is my friend. When i reach there, it just amazing to see that there, all the facilities, like hospital, schools have been provided and nicely build for them. from there i realize that im going to snap some pictures, and doing interviews . i have to capture the scenary arround the village and the museum to share it with my audience.
