Little India - Kuala Lumpur

Da sind wir auch schon im ersten richtig warmen Land. Nach dem komfortablen aber doch auch recht Kräfte zehrenden Flug von Dubai nach KL sind wir sicher im richtig schön-warmen angekommen.

Tag 1:

Puh das war eine Nacht… Nach einer gut 10 Stunden langen Anreise sind wir um ca. 9 Uhr in KL gelandet. Dann gings mit dem …

Maintenant que je connaissais le côté moderne de la ville, j'ai décidé aujourd'hui d'explorer les quartiers plus typiques, et notamment le district colonial, Chinatown, et Little India.
Le district colonial est un petit quartier culturel avec des bâtiments assez "musulmans", des mosquées, des bâtiments un peu marocains, blanc bleu avec des …

All I can say is Anthony Bourdaine ain't got nothing on us. We made it happen with a 10 hour layover in KL. Deciding to get out of the airport and see the sites, we took the Airasia bus from LCCT to Central KL (spelled sentral here), a major public transit hub in downtown KL. The ride into the city was totally different than the terrain of Cambodia …

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 …

Het eerste weekje in Kuala Lumpur zit er alweer bijna op. Na een moeilijk afscheid, afgelopen maandag, vertrokken vanaf Schiphol om naar Maleisië te gaan, met als tussenstop Dubai. Dinsdagmiddag aangekomen in Kuala Lumpur, met de warmte viel het toen nog mee. De rest van de week was het veel benauwder en is het belangrijk om alles rustig aan …

Flew from Siem Reap to Kuala Lumpar (or KL as the cool cats call it). On arrival, we were not swamped with taxi drivers offering their services which was a nice change. They have a separate terminal for low cost airlines which made me feel a little like I was poor and as nice as the airport was I wondered what the rich people's terminal looked like …

After sorting out the finer details at reception we headed to out dorms. We met Sean and he was in the box/bed that was supposed to be mine. It seemed that reception had thought that he already checked out. So they checked his receipts and he was supposed to be there. So I moved the bed across from Lucky. We freshened up and by this time it was 5 …

Wenn die Malayen von Fussball reden, dann geht es meistens ueber den so hochgelobten englischen Fussball mit den vielen Stars wie Rooney. Um dieses Ungleichgewicht auszugleichen, haben wir natuerlich keine Kosten und Muehen gescheut: Melinda durfte zum Fiseur, Tim bekam ein paar neue Deutschland Flip Flops (fuer 1,50 Euro), ein neues Deutschland- …

Woke up with BatuCave legs this morning. My poor legs are really aching from yesterdays climb. I get reminded every time i have to go up and down a kerb- especially as they are so high here. I reckon they thought it would be easier if they ever decide to resurface the road, as they won't have to keep putting new higher kerbs in. On the basis that …

... disgusting sweetie - the clue's in the name = Chocolate Space Beans!?   A brilliant city to explore with the districts of Chinatown, Little India and the Malay area of Kampung Baru intriguing in themselves, KL is a must-see in any Asian ...

... elbow 'tf off my seat, dude!" glare. Before I whine about the locals though, I must rave about my breakfast. I stopped by Penang's Little India and hit up a South Indian cafe I'd read about on the net. Remember that curry crepe I had near the end of ...

... was slurping one of the better cups of Java I've ever had. Sightseeing for the day included random exploration of KL's Chinatown, Little India, and Colonial districts, all of which actually did have a hustle and bustle feel unlike those in Singapore. If ...

First stop on our Asian odyssey - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We stayed in Chinatown amidst the markets, fruit stands, crumbling building and loud constructions noises. The markets were crammed with fake everything - designer watches, sunglasses and handbags ...

... Again knackered by the heat we headed back to the guest house via some amazing Mosques on the way. Early evening we took a walk to Little India where there were loads of sari and Carpet shops! We got a lovely curry and the best ever Samosa for dinner. We ...

Kuala Lumpur is an interesting mix of east and west.  Chinatown and Little India are full of small streets, markets and roadside food that tastes delicious and only costs £1 for an acceptable sized meal.  Bukit Bintang and KLCC are big streets ...

... capture and something I will never forget. I didn't need to see a dragon dance anymore. The next day I left Singapore for Kuala Lumpur and to see Dad for the first time in almost four months. After a seven hour train ride through little towns, ...

... runway to get on the plane, landing like a sack of spuds, you know yourself. But for the price we paid we can't complain. Kuala Lumpur is a nice city, but the public transport is a mess. It takes ages to get anywhere in the city. There are 4 metro ...

... malls than you can shake a stick at. It is not all sterile and paperless as you would imagine though, we stayed in Little India, just like India (have yet to prove this though) but very clean and a bit more organised. We had a very modern, and yet very ...
