Attended the Global Youth Symposium 2007 sponsored by the Students Representative Council of the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

08/04: We step in to the taxi to the airport, exactly the time we wanted to. I do have to take some stuff out of our luggage. Maximum 15kg is maximum 15kg! The plane leaves in time. We are very happy with our Air Asia low cost carrier. Arrives at KL 20 minutes early. http://www.airasia.com/ It is POURING. But hubby is on a mission: we SHALL take...

Some of the better journeys are taken within. I know nothing about contemporary dancing, Japanese or otherwise. Which was why I was keen to explore it. There was my concern that I may find it boring but I considered that to be adequately balanced by my upcoming education. So I convinced a couple of friends to join me for "We're Gonna Go Dancing!...

My flight isnt untill 12 mid day so i have a while to wait ! So i fa...

Government buildings, cultural attractions, palaces, slums, night markets, sky scrapers, massive malls and cars. Lots of malls and cars. I have been lucky enough to stay with one of my friends and her family in Putrajaya...

Arrived in KL again. From here we need to go back to Singapore to catch our flight.

OK, so we just spent two days in KL and took the overnight train to Singapore. We plan on going back to KL later and see the Petronas towers before heading north towards Thailand. In any case, we had a good time in KL. Jl Petalling (street) in Chinatown is a must at night. The street is closed to cars and it gets croweded with street vendors. It...
