Papa was in Kuantan again this week. It grew from a supposed one day outing to a couple of days of work. So Papa ended up here Tuesday to Thursday. The bright spot was that Papa thinks the monsoon may have ended earlier (only maybe its taking a breather - Papa doesn't know right now yet). Papa hopes for sunlight and no rain- its about time to go to some remote places, which Papa wishes he could take you.
View just outside the hotel after check-out on Thursday morning. Blue skies...
The hotel is new and better than its surroundings suggest...Papa can walk to the various state departments and other POI. 5 minutes from the State SEDC, 8 from Sri Pahang, 3 to the surveyor, 1 minute to shops nearby...
Papa will be here again next week to shop for some land in nearby Gebeng to build a silica-manganese mill. (its sort of like a steel mill-except they use electric ovens/furnaces instead of coal furnaces of the usual steel mills. So lots of electric juice needed.) Silica-manganese mills are common in China but in South East Asia , Papa believes only Philiphines has got one. They seem to be a necessary and integral part of the steel industry, and so currently Malaysia exports raw manganese ore to China and then imports processed manganese back for use in its steel mills. Not too bright huh?
(Consequently Papa thinks for reasons of national interest, Malaysia should have one. Papa ihas been hinting and is going to promote this to the Pahang Government.)
Then Papa will be going to some other place to scout for land again, but for agriculture.
