Miri Trip Apr 2008 - Petroleum Museum 01

We went to the Canada Hill after taking our breakfast.  The Petroleum Science Museum was situated on top of the hill.  According to my friends, the museum is only opened at night time; therefore we did not enter the museum.  We just took photo outside the museum and view the Miri scenery from the hill.

There is a very high monument in front of the museum.  It is called the Grand Old Lady which is the oldest oil well in Malaysia drilled by cable tool method.  It is more than 100 years old.

We found a bug on Canada Hill.  It’s still alive.

We will choose a good time to visit here next time.  Not in a rush so that we can enter the museum and see what’s inside.
