Kuala Kurau, a small fishing village in the northern part of Perak is the one of the great getaway destination from the hustling city life. Located about an hour driving from either Penang or Taiping, this secluded town has a lot to offer in term of sightseeing, food and relaxation. As I observed the faces of the locals that were etched with lines of happiness and eagerness, I wondered how it would feel to be living in a tight knit community where everyone will greet each other across the street or offer a hand when needed. The carefree days many of us have long coveted can definitely be fulfilled here.
