He added that Taiping has many charms especially the Lake Gardens, which is one of the country's oldest public parks which is well-maintained.
Architecture buffs, he said, can also admire the old colonial buildings in Taiping town, which was known as an

On future plans, Uncle John said he hopes to do a cycling tour of Sumatera.
He had an idea of taking a ferry across from Penang to Medan and proceed to Lake Toba.
"This is by every chance, an adventure that I am looking forward to.
"I hope some serious foldies who are into touring will join me for this ride," he said, gesturing with a smile.
