Hotel Grand Central Kuala Lumpur

Such a difference in KL woth all the hustle and bustle and proper city life. Is very western with alot of McDonalds, KFC's and even a Nandos!!<br><br>Had a manic few days walking around the city visiting Little India, a fabulous market in Chinatown (but I really needed 2 bags, and eating is overrated anyway!!) and getting up extra early to queue for tickets to the ...

... We then walked around in the rain for a while and headed home eventually, having decided that the second day we have booked in the hostel will only cause us more trouble than it was worth, having to get up real early, get a taxi to Sentral and then a bus to the airport and still be there by 5! No Sirree Bob, the corner we have found last time in international departures will do perfectly, dirty as it was, so we grabbed a super hot curry again and filled ourselves to the ...

... new Man U shirt (which his brother kindly bought him) as it does attract a lot of attention with stall holders shouting out 'hey Mr MU' and 'You want another shirt....only RM20' (4 pounds) Gary was gutted that everyone thought his was a fake.<br> <br>We have booked a bus ticket to Mersing down on the east coast. We are heading for an island called Pulau Tioman for some chill out time.....there ...

... the Jurong bird park. Took the MRT train to Boon Lay station and a bus to bird park. Excellent collection of birds. The shows were great. Magic show was outstanding for the kids. Spent the entire day at the bird park. Penguins and waterfalls inside the park were special attaraction. Tram rides in the park gave a good orientation of the park. After dinner at Annalakshmi, back to hotel.<br><br>Day 9<br>Visited the Venkateswara Swamy temple. Great darshan. Post breakfast and last ...

... at me as much, instead they chat away in an adult fashion and I respond with big smiles. Here they know I'm 5 months old and they know I'm a girl and here it's the boys that love me so as a result I'm becoming quite the flirt, much to her distress...lets just say, if a couple try talk to me I only talk back to the man, the woman can go whistle. Here they go more with ...

... formula 1 racing game. Bryden came second and of course I came first<br>woo hoo. We then found a starbucks and entered all of the day we<br>missed whilst on Tioman due to no internet. Hopefully now you are all<br>up to date with our adventures and we will definately keep you posted<br>with our daily activities. I think it is time for a shower and a nap.<br>

... frem til at komme over paa oestkysten hvor vi kunne slappe af paa en laekker hvid sandstrand ved azurblaat hav. Paa Perhentian oeen oplevede vi baade afslapning og dykning, men tilgengaeld blev Lone ogsaa syg. Det var begge ender!! <br>Her boede vi dog ogsaa mere primitivt end de andre byer, det var naermest ude i skoven i traahytter, med egern loebende ovenover os paa tagene og leguaner under hytterne, med toiletter (blikskur uden tag eller udskyl) ude i det fri.<br ...

... in South east asia. Bought a watch too, 4 pound for a Tag Heuer. Bargain. <br><br>Next day we went back to the twin towers early on to get a ticket to go up to the skybridge. We got there just after 9.45 (it opened at 8.30) and our ticket was for 5.15. So we had a day to kill as such. One of the things you will notice about KL and malaysia is that they love shopping malls. So we went to one called times square. I thought that the twin towers one was big. This onewas ridiculously ...

... until lunch. hit up their cocktail bar for lunch before returning once again to the pool, but we only did that to kill some time before our thai massages (also called passive yoga apparently). 60 minutes later, the kinks were out, partly due to my joints being contorted into angles I never knew were possible, and leora was floating on some post-massage high; it was her first ever massage and ...

... morning so decided to head to the Petronas Towers to queue up for the limited tickets they give out each day. It is very variable some days they go in a few hours and then other days, like yesterday there were still the last few available around midday. Our tickets were for mid day so we spent the morning exploring the city centre and checking out the enormous Sung wei shopping centre. We only purchased a coffee - but oh wow did that taste great, our ...
