Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC)

Je savais que Petronas n'offrait que 1500 tickets d’entrée par jour pour monter sur la passerelle des tours jumelles, au 41 e étage sur les 84 que comptent les tours. Donc je suis parti super tôt pour arriver à 8:00 sur place, et il y avait déjà une file immense de plusieurs centaines de mètres. A 9:00 tout était distribué, et j’étais …

Aujourd'hui je suis parti aux Batu Caves, un lieu de pèlerinage hindou situé à 15 km de Kuala Lumpur. J'ai traversé toute la ville en métro puis pris un taxi qui m'a déposé juste devant une grande falaise. Au pied de celle-ci était dressée une immense statue du dieu hindou de près de 45 mètres de haut, toute dorée, et juste à côté d'elle il y avait …

Kuala Lumpur or "KL" as it is known, is the face of the new Malaysia. I was very excited about this visit, but had no expectations and I am happy about that. My first impression on arrival wasn't really wow, I personally think that KL has much more charm at night. A plus point was that I thought it would be much more crowded, but believe me it wasn …

I was really glad to be back in a big city again. I still wasn't feeling amazing and the bus journey was a bit of a challenge, but we met some nice french guys and played a few games of cards so it wasn't too bad overall. We had booked into serenity hostel in the backpacker area, but when we got there we found it was above a bar that was being …

Llegamos a nuestra querida Malasia, país al que le habíamos tomado más cariño luego de nuestra experiencia en Filipinas. La llegada propiamente tal fue larga, con escala en el aeropuerto de bajo costo, que está a unas dos horas de la ciudad. Tomamos el shuttle bus y arribamos al hostel a las 6pm…y grande fue nuestra sorpresa cuando las chicas …

Kuala Lumpur's chaos has been magnified by the 11 preceding days in Singapore. We arrived on the 16th November to be greeted by a traffic jam which caused up to arrive at our Bukit Bintang hotel 3 hours after landing at Kuala Lumpur Airport. I wasn't worried about the traffic initially because I thought our tickets where for the train as per my …

We were dropped off in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur around 1ish and the sun was shining. We walked over to our hostel and just as we got through the door the heavens opened! The rain didn't stop all day. We ventured out to grab some lunch and the road had turned to a river, it was so bad that we couldn't really do anything so we chilled out in the …

Our first night of hostelling was pretty tiring as people were coming and going all night and blow drying their hair at FOUR AM?!?

We took an early bus from Singapore to Melaka which took about four hours. It was a pretty luxurious bus so we slept for most of the journey.

I cleverly went into the men's loos at the bus station, …

Greetings from Kuala Lumpur

I am raring to go this morning, its 9.00am and I am just about to leave my chamber to head out to the city. I have a few things I want to do today but that will depend on how successful I am in navigating myself around. I hope I succeed, wish me luckxx

Today has been an interesting and eventful one but …

On Friday, 31st August and after my many hours of planning that will probably cause early onset of grey hairs, Mitch and I were finally on our way to the airport courtesy of M&D Taxi Service to embark on our long-awaited trip.

Queued at the check-in desk behind the greater unwashed public, I was nervously clutching my ingenious two-in- …

The overnight train to Kuala Lumpur, or KL as most people refer to it, was an absolute nightmare. The single saving grace was that it was relatively cheap and meant that we didn't have to pay for accommodation that night. The journey started on the wrong ...

Day 148 - 19/07/08 A relatively long bus journey today to Kuala Lumpur, 6 hours in total but the bus was comfortable and immigration was a breeze so it wasn't bad at all. The last three weeks after returning from Europe, it's just been one big Asian ...

Today we kept the Malaysian Tourism industry afloat by visiting almost every tourist attraction in and around Kuala Lumpur. Our day started with a trip to the Petronas Twin Towers in the city centre. I had read on the website that tickets are free and ...

From Malacca we travelled to Malysia's capital Kuala Lumpur, a 3 hour coach journey. Thankfully, and rather unexpectedly, the coaches in Malaysia are well kept and air-conditioned. After reaching the bus station in KL, we went across the road and ...
