Petroleum Museum

Usually we seldom appreciate what we have around us. We love to travel to other part of country or town to enjoy their scenery rather than explore our own home town. I used to love traveling out of town too, but now since having a tight budget, commitment need more attention, i resolve for another source to enjoy my travel nature pleasure. Today, i went to Petroleum Museum.



This museum located at the top of the hill at the heart of the town.
