In our US centric view of the world what is Kuala Lumpr famous for? ? ? Well, I can't think of anything it's famous for. In fact, we didn't really have much idea of what to expect at all. We had onhly decided to stop in KL and include Malaysia into our plans at the last minute - primarily due to it being on the way and why not... So with such lo...

Kuala Lumpur became a silent witness to the new found vigour in my life... well, they say life begins after 40 and i for one can vouch for that. The 10 days spent in the capital city of Malaysia was a continuous bliss after bliss after bliss, so much so that i yearn to be back in KL. 

One of our first challenges in Singapore was working out how to re-enter a room from a locked balcony, the door to which had unexpectedly closed shut behind us. After some pontificating and trying to communicate with some chinese immigrants, we concluded there was only one way out- across the roof along a ledge of air conditioning units and accr...

2007_10_30 Kuala Lumpur Jet lag isn't my friend . . . Woke at 4 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Streets aren't safe at that hour so I stayed indoors and read some book until it was 7AM. The streets in Chinatown are always crazy. There are sidewalks that walk behind shops. In front of those shops in the day is a street that is packed full of s...

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 search and see if you can find some better photos.  You know what?  Just go to google ...

Today is the last day of our visit to Hong Kong. I've finished packing and our luggage bag is a lot heavier with all the souvenirs that we're bringing back with us. Our flight is at 3PM but we decided totravel much earlier. Security is such a hassle and it takes such a long time to get through customs. We're leavimg with mixed feelings. The MOTH...

Buffet Breakfast and the Sheraton Imperial brings the most tast and largest breakfast buffet I yhave experienced. At the cost of RM 55 it's value.  What ever eggs you want and unlimited tasty food. Asia speacialties and Yoghurt drinks. My sugars went Crazy. Matt loved it and ate a large amount of food.

I left Daniel's and Tanah Rata for the second time and caught the bus to K.L. That bus took an hour longer than it should have done and we arrived at Puduraya bus station at 3 or 4pm. It was going to be one of those wasted days since I just wanted to get to Singapore. Last time I spent a night in K.L. in transit I went to the cinema. I considere...

After days of looking up for the cheapest flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand, I settled with Air Asia. This is my first time using Air Asia, a low budget airline which is a hit with local Asian travellers. In comparison with JetStar (owned by Qantas) and Virgin Blue, I found Air Asia to be almost frills free airline. Obviously, with such low cost co...
