Crystal Crown Hotel Petaling Jaya

... funny. But on the bright side, it turns out it's really cheap for us to make calls from it to landlines back home and even texts are cheaper so every cloud.....<br><br>My new number is 00-6-10-3616807 and I've lost everyone's number so if you want to keep in touch send me a text so I have your number again.

... booking said it was Traders, by Shangri-la. So he took us to the Shangri-La hotel. Unfortunately Traders is not literally by the Shangi La, but owned by the Shangri La Group. Fortune smiled however, as we pulled into the Shangi La entrance as our jolly driver recognised a chum and asked him. Five minutes later we arrived at out hotel, with one taxi driver having knowledge of one more hotel under his belt. Flashing our reservation docket we ...

... kernal of rice. I was blown away.<br><br>Mee prawn<br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Noo dle soups aren't really my bag. I enjoy them once in a while but I'll never crave them. And of course, being Vietnamese, it's a bit tough to dethrone the champion of noodle soups in my heart, Pho (Beef noodle soup!). Mee prawn was a good tasting dish, the noodles and toppings were cooked nicely, and the ...

... She is 16 and has a driver&#8230; I was quite amazed by this. I imagined some Jason Stratham Transporter style driver. Haha. Anyways, we went out for lunch with them, and I had Nasi Lemak again with iced Milo (props to you if you know what Milo is). Ahh, so good! That evening, we hung out for a while (still waiting for Mr. Cheh, who was apparently busy) and Emily and I went wifi hunting. We got a couple of connections, but nothing reliable. This has ...

... learn the background to the Muslim religion - but there were a lot of things that as a Westener I did not agree with. We even got interviewed for Java TV, they were filming the architecture in the Mosque and wanted our opinion on it - we just had to talk to thier camera they told us that their sound people would dub it when they got back. Our fame didn't end there on that day as we were then acosted by two groups of college students who wanted to ...

... food. We heard that it's been open for a while and the tiles don't look barn new, but it seems like it's so new that they have nothing together yet. Although it was refreshing to swim in the pool for a few minutes, it was not in the least relaxing to lay on the hard and hot concrete. We soon left to drive the 15 minutes down the road to our Keramas beach to lay out for an hour or so and get lunch at our favorite restaurant. We lay at Keramas ...

We have been in KL for the past week. Remind me never to go with a private bus company again (unless in Turkey, of course). Let's just say that I have never been so terrified with someone else's driving before. Our 1100 baht trip to KL was totally not worth the money, especially since the government buses were so good and cheap. We thought that because it was totally on the big tourist run, it would be OK. And I guess it was. But while we were in the minivan from ...

... Evaluation, we were supposed to determine Ultimate Goals for our experience -- but how can? I'm learning so much the way I was living, just taking one day and each experience as it came ... and now I need to set a course. It's very frustrating. The next six months, which looked so bright and exciting, now seem, somehow, so oppressive somehow. I can't wait until October holidays to go to Ipoh to visit Fiona.

... in Malaysia still believe the old superstitions, even though they say they don't. I say it's the same in the US: it's hard to tell what people believe, but lots of people think, "It doesn't hurt to throw salt over my shoulder, so why shouldn't I do it." Went to bed about midnight. Dogs were noisy all night. The females are in heat. Tony had to put Gigi and Blackie on the porch. What a mess! Also, Papa has left. Deaf auntie is staying with us now.

... delicacy by the Chinese. The Malays used to give them away for free. But now they charge about $7-8 per fish. The fish is not bad.) Anyway, the final course was dessert -- papaya, mango, watermelon. The meals was all quite good, and cost our host about M$400 per person! We also got all the Chinese tea we could drink and towels between most courses to wash our hands, faces, arms, necks, etc. Anyway, it was quite an experience. signed Ardice plus 450 pounds!
