Take a Leisurely StrollSo if you are in Kuantan, don’t forget to visit this latest shopping center. Take a look, and go round the retail shops. Perhaps you’ll find that nice, new Seiko or Gucci watch for a present to a loved one, or the comfortable, reasonably-priced jogging shoes or sandals that you’ve desired for that walk on the beaches in Kuantan. Or you might want to idle your time away with scoops of nice concoction of mixed flavored ice-cream, or maybe just sip a cup of cappuccino, while watching people go by.
Well, Baskin-Robbins, or Starbucks, anyone? As always, from me...
