Kampung Life
A kampung is a Malay hamlet or village in a Malay-speaking country. In Malaysia, a kampung is a locality run under the leadership of a village chief (penghulu) with 10,000 or fewer people. Typically it contains a mosque, paddy or rice fields and Malay houses on stilts.
Janda Baik translated as the "Good Widow", is a Malay kampung in the highlands, with about 1700 people. Being only about 30 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur, it was the perfect break for my shopping mall and concrete infected soul. The images below portray the simple and peaceful life lead by the people there.

Ah, country living is my dream but unfortunately, it is not to be as Jean doesn't like bugs. Enjoy!! By the way great photos.
I don't like bugs either especially the slimy leech in the jungle that climbed up my pants, bit my stomach and sucked liters of blood before I managed to pull him off.
