Kuala Lumpur
KL, what can I say. I have been here on a 3 day stop over on my way back from Australia before. I decided to stay at the Equator again as Hadi is such an excellent host and it is one of the friendliest hostels I have stayed in. We stayed an extra night ...

City of Sewage, No road rules and Heat
Well well well... didn't plan to come to KL and probably could've just skipped it from what we're seen. It's very hot and stinky and we really haven't found that much to do. All I can hear out the window are people honking horns as they try to make their ...
Overnighter - The Tune Hotel.
KL airport has an overnight hotel just off the airport car park. The rooms are tiny, and I mean tiny, but are fine if all you are wanting between flights is a bed. To get anything extra it costs, even if you want the air con on, but hey its budget. As a ...
