Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan

After the riverfront erosion area, the next stop was the Leaning Tower of Teluk Intan... also commonly known to be equivalent to the world famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy! LOL...

Both of these towers have something in common... yes, both are leaning or should I say, slanting to one side....

taken at certain angles ..
the "slant" is not so obvious...

nearer version...

it is actually a 3 storey building, not 8...

I didn't climb up... no stamina.... pufff....

ok, maybe this one can see it slant a bit...

the oldest passenger in our bus...
see her "canggih" umbrella... hands-free!

opposite the tower is another famous biscuit shop
founded in 1959...

before we left, we took a group photo...
no joke.. 42 of us... not easy to assemble us together..

me and my friends.. and my mama....
gosh.. how come I seem to be shorter than my mum???

    Biscuit shop also slanting, it seems? In Sibu, lots of slanting houses...in the sinking areas - swampy land...foundation not good or strong enough.

    Have read so much about this leaning tower but haven't been there before even though I come from the same state! Haha how come you're shorter than your mom? Was she wearing high heels? :P

    Everything seems to be slanting, even you people, the effect of the building I guess. Your mama is so strong and active somemore. From the smiles in everyone face, I guess this trip is an enjoyable one.
