That "rosy cheeks pants" was the result of sliding down the slope in the cave. No grip at all, just slide down.

Bro edgarchen,

You really gave us a very hard question to answer... I can swear that what ever answer I give will be the wrong answer.... Just buy all there brands and be your own judge... OK?... :mrgreen:

Places to visit:-

1) Kek Lok Si Temple - Ayer Itam
2) Snake Temple - Bayan Lepas
3) Khoo Kong Si - Georgetown
4) Taiwan health Centre - to the right of your hotel, look for a Lorong on right...... :mrgreen: just joking
5)..... and many more...
