7 Reasons Why You Should NOT Visit Ipoh

Ever heard of Ipoh, the so-called boring sleepy town. I mean, no offense, but personally, even I don't see a reason why anyone would want to visit Ipoh! Here's my list of 7 reasons why you should NOT visit Ipoh: 1. Ipoh is far away and hidden. It's so difficult to reach!

I mean, it's one and a half hours from Singapore by flight! And one hour forty-five minutes from Penang by car! Or two hours from KL by train! That's so far! 2. The only thing popular here are the bean sprout chicken! There's no other variety!

Yeah, I feel you there. There's only, bean sprout chicken in here! Can you imagine eating that every day? 3. And for my Muslim friends, there is no HALAL food that is popular here!

There's no adventure at all around Ipoh!

Like, literally, drop and sleep.

5. And worst, there's no interesting place to stay in Ipoh.

I don't know how anyone can stay here! 6. There is ZERO nightlife in Ipoh. Where do I even get a drink?

There's not much cultural history in Ipoh. [caption id="attachment_520326" align="aligncenter" width="2400"] From Left: Concubine Street, Ipoh Railway Station & Birch Memorial Tower[/caption] None at all. It's like the town comes out of nowhere one day and everyone just calls it what it is.
