The show was about a charcoal tycoon, a man with two wives, one wife paralysed and she encouraged her husband to marry another younger lady. Then the saga began.... how 2nd wife gained power, the boss at her mercy.... etc etc....
Then last week when we visited Kuala Sepetang, we made a stop at the charcoal factory.... and learn how charcoal is processed.... (remember studying about charcoal during my school days.. i think i have returned all the knowledge to my teachers, whoever they are... )
the factory...
the houses leading to the factory...
the shed..
around the factory area..
the mangrove trees being processed to charcoals..
this is the kiln where the charcoal is manufactured..
Good place to take my kids for a visit. I love Kuala Sepetang.....have some fond memories there....LOL!
ReplyDeletepete, what fond memories.. can tell?
ReplyDeleteWow! What a cool, informative post! I love learning new things like this. I didn't know how charcoal was made or what it is made from, never even thought of it! So it's made from mangrove trees!! Are you talking about the charcoal bricks like you put on the grill? There's also black charcoal tablets you can take for gas. I think you are given charcoal in the hospital to absorb and poison you ingested, as well. I know they give it to dogs who ahve drunk anti-freeze.
ReplyDeleteWhat show is that? Is it Age of Glory 2?
ReplyDeleteI use charcoal shampoo! Haha
It is really a nice place to visit and explore how charcoal is process huh!

ReplyDeleteangeline: yes, i tried.. i posted it up too.. u can scroll down and see the local stalls...
Clair: We never see how charcoal is made so your photos are really neat of the process. I worked for a company that used a kiln to make ceramic parts from clay.
ReplyDeleteEh, at least you n your girl went and visited the shots where they filmed the show "Glowing Embers".
ReplyDeleteHow u wished the actors and actresses were there, then you get their autograph, mah.
jessie.. that show was over months ago.. maybe they filmed it last year..
ReplyDeletefishingguy: sometimes going to places like this is educational to the kids and adults as well :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting place. I don't watch Chinese series (In fact, I don't watch anything at all. Can't concentrate for so long - like little kinds! LOL!!!)but my missus does. Maybe she knows what you're talking about...
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the first time I came to know about a film being shot in a charcoal factory. It might be due to the requirement of this type of sequences in the film. But one thing I must say that it is not fair to cut down the valuable mangrove forest for charcoal. Thanks for the information. Bye.
