Hello Malaysia, Goodbye Pork and Beer
This is a top pick! ... I couldn't imagine. A quick 5 hour journey on a bus was a breeze after my Burma experiances and before I knew it I was in Kuala Lumpur looking at the Petrona Towers lit up in the distance. I made the fatal mistake of taking the first cheap place that I ...
Getting lost and discovering more
This is a top pick! ... 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, ...
Kuala Lumpur - Day 148-150
This is a top pick! 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 ...
KL Tower
This is a top pick! KL Tower is tall. How tall? I don't know. Google it. It has an incredible view though, and I'll post some pictures to prove it. If you're not convinced, then I don't know what to tell you. I guess do a google image ...

Ramadhan
This is a top pick! 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 ...
Petronas Towers Mall
This is a top pick! It's a nice mall at the base of the Petronas Towers, but compared to the striking architecture of the building, the mall doesn't really do much to impress visitors. They do sell Chili Dogs though, which we hadn't had in a year, at A&W ...
Menara Kuala Lumpur
This is a top pick! ... in 2001 and it was impressive but there was not the same attention to aesthetics in construction. The detail in Menara Kuala Lumpur's architecture is superb, and the petal design compliments the protected forrest from which it rises. Once you are on ...
Day 1 in KL (That's Kuala Lumpur to us)
This is a top pick! I started my day with a visit to the Sri Mahamariaman Temple; it was a short walk from my hostel. I met a nice older man at the door who took it upon himself to show me around. =) As we reached the back of the temple, there was a ...
Malaysian F1 Grand Prix
This is a top pick! Over the last two days I have witnessed the sights and sounds that make up the spectacle of Formula One. I'm not entirely enamored by the sport now, but have a new found appreciation of it. Enough words, enjoy the ...

This is a top pick! ... experience anymore as it makes my skin crawl. Thank goodness once again for our silk sleeping sheets. "Welcome" to Kuala Lumpur - the capital of Malaysia; a big city with big city problems. Our first exposure to KL was not pleasant. ...
Shopping (or lack of) at the night market
This is a top pick! For those of you who have had the pleasure of visiting KL you will have certainly heard about, and probably taken advantage of the bargains to be had at the night market in and around Petaling Street. Well I was in for a shock this evening when I ...

This is a top pick! Arrived in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a weekend of forgetting why I am on this trip to begin with....WORK! After getting settled I mosied around the hotel found the Polo Lounge and settled in for a couple of beers and to plan my day of exploring for ...
Not Very Special KL
This is a top pick! ... straight for 'Euro' restaurant for a Wiener Schnizel and a Shish Kebab. On that note I'll finish off with a round-up of Kuala Lumpur. If Bangkok was Tokyo's bright little brother who'd one day be as big and colourful as long as he continued to eat ...
Malaysia's Vibrant Capital City

Bite Me!

Formula 1 Grand Prix of Malaysia Sepang
This is a top pick! ... the Grand Prix of Australia in Melbourne, I figured I'd have to go to the KL for the Grand Prix here in SE Asia. It's Visit Malaysia 2007 so the tourism board had a goal of selling out the GP so they made the general admission tickets as cheap as $15 for ...
Chapter 25: Ferry 'cross to Mersing
This is a top pick! ... Mersing on Monday, and then had a 6-hour-long but fun (yay for new CDs!) bus ride from Mersing to Kuala Lumpur, which is on the west side of Malaysia. At 6pm I checked into the Pudu Hostel near the bus station. Pudu came highly recommended by the new ...
41st floor please!
This is a top pick! Today we are off up Petronas Twin Towers so we have to get up early, 7.30am early. It's free to go up to the Sky Bridge but they only give out 1320 tickets per day and the ticket office opens at 8.30am so we are told it's wise to get there early. We ...
The one handed traveller
This is a top pick! ... up high seeing Kuala Lumpur from both the skybridge of the Petronas Towers and the viewing platform of the telecom tower which was wicked. Kuala Lumpur is not a city I plan to come back to. It didn't have any huge differences to cities back home (apart ...
Malaysia - Part 3
This is a top pick! ... - it's a telecommunications tower and once inside, you get a free headset to give you a guided tour about the tower, Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia itself. Very interesting and well worth doing! From the K.L tower you can see the Patronus Towers, or twin ...
Still recovering....and being a bit lazy
This is a top pick! Not much to report. Got up around 11am this morning. We are still not in the best of shapes. I don't think the nice little rainbow collection of drugs can be fully helping us. They are stopping the squits & the stomach cramps, but drowsiness, feeling ...
Back to the City
This is a top pick! Taman Negara had been fantastic but KL was calling and I was looking forward to reaching another big city and in particular to seeing the Petronas Towers. So we avoided the rip off pre arranged tour bus and boarded the 7am local bus that no one wants to ...
