Petronas Twin Towers 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 …

We had a busy 4 days in KL! We decided to book a hotel online this time, so we wouldn't have the hassle of walking around with our backpacks in the big city. The bus dropped us off in Chinatown where our hotel was, but Chinatown is big and it took us an hour to find the hotel - the locals pointed us in several different directions and we were going …

Friends and Family,
If Singapore had a little brother that had the potential to become the next Singapore, it would be Kuala Lumpur. Similar to the multicultural population of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur has also has a base population of Malaysian, Chinese, and Indian cultures. Most people here speak english as well because it's part of the …

Aujourd'hui je quittais le Cambodge pour la Malaisie, ultime étape de mon périple asiatique. J’ai pris un tuk tuk de bonheur pour traverser la ville poussiéreuse encore endormie, et j’ai pris un vol low cost d’Air Asia pour Kuala Lumpur. Quand je dis low cost, c’est pire que du Ryanair, même pas la place pour mettre mon sac …

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 …

After a sweet 10.5 hour plane ride (actually 45 min early too), arrived in K.L at 10:00pm on Tues 28 Feb. Hanim and her mum picked us up from the airport and came back to Hanim's condo. Super shattered, so chatted for a bit and got to sleep at midnight. You sleep with Air Con overnight as humidity is extreme. Up at 6:45am! Ben had a cold shower ( …

A huge golden statue of a Hindu god guards the entrance to the eerie Batu Caves, hidden in the limestone hills north of Kuala Lumpur. Climb the 272 steps to explore the sacred site's dark nooks and crannies, now home to mischievous monkeys and fruit bats …

After arriving in Kuala Lumpur late in the evening, I opted to stay in a Lonely Planet recommended hostel rather than looking around for something else. In previous experience, I have come to notice that almost all Lonely Planet featured accommodation will normally put its price up after publication, this is normally due to the fact of increased …

Arrived in an overnight bus from Singapore at 5am to an unfamiliar city to be greeted by hungry taxi drivers and prostitutes. Managed to find my guesthouse though from some much needed help from a fellow traveller. The reggae mansion is an interesting hostel, slightly more expensive than the competition but instead of the standard bunkbed …

Nous avons donc pris un taxi pour aller au Petronas, tours de 88 étages, classées 5èmes plus hautes du monde.
Il y a un énorme centre commercial avec pleins de magasins, c'était un supplice de regarder les vitrines sans rien acheter.

On a ensuite pris le bus touristique à deux étages qui est passé par les quartiers riches puis China …
