&#8220;new&#8221; waterfall between Beruas and Trong, with my waterfall friends Siang Hui, Nick and Rani. First I was thinking to stay in Parit Baru until then, but would I survive the crowd&#8230;:-)? Aric advised me that it would be better to &#8220;escape&#8221; for a few days, and come back on day 3\u00a0for the traditional family\u00a0\u00a0party.<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0I went to Taiping on day 1. I had booked a hotel in Taiping already, when my friend May protested, told me\u00a0that the hotel was haunted and convinced me\u00a0to stay with her in what she calls the &#8220;Maywarmers Lodge&#8221;. Of course Rani was welcome too. Malaysian hospitality!<\/p>\n<p>By the same Malaysian hospitality I was invited for two CNY open houses&#8230;:-). I am a member of the Taiping Heritage Society and both Yeap, the president and\u00a0Sharon, an active committee member, invited me as soon as they heard that I would be in Taiping.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived in Taiping just in time for the\u00a0open house lunch at Yeap&#8217;s\u00a0residence<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item

From there a plantation road would take us to the trail head. Siang Hui had discovered the waterfall a few\u00a0years ago and baptised it Lata Hui..:-).<\/p>\n<p>But what a disappointment. When we arrived at the trail head, we were stopped by an armed soldier, who told us that the region was out of bounds because of a military training. What to do? The only alternative was the Trong waterfall. We decided to go to the Upper Trong Fall, but we were not really in the mood, there were many leeches, we got lost a bit, and rather dispirited returned to the Trong Fall. A nice fall, we had our lunch there and a bath. But still a pity, we were so full of expectations.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
