Jalan Petaling Kuala Lumpur

Inilah kisahku semalam di Malaysia ...

Penggalan bait lagu Semalam di Malaysia yang terkenal itu, mungkin cocok untuk menggambarkan perjalanan singkat saya di Malaysia pada awal tahun 2011.

Pada awalnya saya sama sekali tidak bermaksud untuk mengunjungi Kuala Lumpur, karena tujuan utama saya adalah Thailand. Tapi karena pada …

Rencananya hari ini mau ke Genting. Tapi ternyata
tiket busnya adanya hanya pergi saja, pulangnya sudah habis. Jadi
terpaksa harus membatalkan ke Gentin. Saya sudah pernah ke KL jadi tidak
ingin mengunjungi wisata KL lagi jadi belanja aja. Hari ini putar-putar
ke Central Market dan Petaling Street, ini adalah Chinatown-nya KL. < …

This is another catch up entry, chronicling a trip to Kuala Lumpur. I visited another friend from Master's, he's probably the most successful of all of us and he's not even working in GIS! One day I'll learn how to be like him...

It was really lovely going to Kuala Lumpur. It was my first trip out of Cambodia since I'd arrived, and it was …

Happy Chinese New Year!

It took me 15mins to work out the time when I woke this morning due to having no watch, a mobile that keeps freezing and well just no clock in my room, therefore I had a slight panic thinking I had slept the whole day away considering I fell asleep at 5.00am again this morning. At the same time of fretting there …

Arrived in KL after the 12 hour flight... Hello 30 degrees! Trip to the bird sanctuary, walk around the museum of Islamic art, a huge thunderstorm, lots of shopping malls and a few temples! But mainly it has been awesome catching up with lots of great friends …

Hello Malaysia, truly Asia! Nous arrivons en après-midi à Ké-Elle (KL) comme disent les locaux. C'est une grosse ville très moderne, on a les yeux tout le temps en l'air tellement les buildings sont gigantesques et nombreux. La population est très mixte, une majorité d'Indiens (Hindous), de Chinois (Bouddhistes) et de …

We arrived in the afternoon which gave us time to see the local area including Petaling street. In the evening we used the metro to get to the Petronus towers. The metro station lets you in to the huge shopping center at the bottom of the two towers there is even a Marks and Spencers where we bought some proper chocolate. The best chocolate we had …

Heya!!!!

So we got ourselves to our bus to head to Kuala Lumpur...BEST BUS EVER! It only had three seats in each row so each chair was a full on armchair and had tonnes of leg room! LIVING THE DREAM!!!!!

So after a very pleasant journey to Kuala Lumpur we set out to find our hostel. Kuala Lumpur does not make sense! We went down …

Howdy from KL.

Before arriving here I did the usual and read up on just exactly what there was to see and do in Kuala Lumpur. Obviously it’s the capital of Malaysia so I was expecting it to be packed with its share of must-see attractions. Wikitravel disagreed with this theory.

“Despite having many attractions, Kuala …

Hectic, polluted and unappealing, these are words which spring to my mind when thinking about Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur. On the other hand, with its convenient, in-the-middle-of-the-country location and world-famous the Petronas Towers, Kuala ...
