Whether it's rubber tapping, getting muddy in the padi fields, or foraging for your dinner, there's lots of interesting things to do in Kampung Labu Kubong, Perak. Photos: The Star/Ming Teoh

When we were told that we’d be doing a kampung homestay during a recent trip to Kuala Kangsar in Perak, I was anticipating having to spend the night in an attap house without electricity or running water.

However, we were in for a surprise when the bus arrived at Labu Kubong, a village less than 20km north of Perak’s royal town.
