Puchong is a town that can be found in the Petaling district of Selangor, Malaysia. It used to be a tin mining town and rubber estate way back in the 1960's. Through time it eventually became urbanized. This was due it part to its strategic location. It is located between two of Malaysia's biggest cities: Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Now it boasts of several commercial centers, residential subdivisions and industrial parks. Its population boom has led into the transformation of many of its agricultural land into new townships.
Last year I was able to visit Puchong with my family. If you are thinking of vacationing in Malaysia here are the top attractions in Puchong that you should see.

路 Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3)
H3 is an international group of social, drinking and running clubs that are non-competitive. It was established in 1938 by a group of British officers. They started to have regular weekly meetings wherein they would run together. It started as a way to promote physical fitness among its members, get rid of hangovers and as a way to bond. The runners became known as "hares". They would start out on a trail and at reaching the end would be rewarded with beer and cigarettes. The Constitution of the Hash House became officially established in 1950. There are currently about two thousand chapters around the world. Hashing events are always a fun activity to watch.
