One World Hotel Petaling Jaya

... in victoria. We spoke to him and his wife for a while and headed off for our tour. We watched a 3D movie which showed the building of the towers and a very subtle (NOT!!) promotion of petronas the malaysian national petroleoum company and their "environmentally friendly" drilling operations. The lift to the 41st floor skybridge was pretty fast at 1sec per floor and we were given 10mins to check out the view of surrounding KL. Having done the tour we went in ...

... and had to walk about 150 metres to our hotel... dayle had already pre-warned us to say it was a dodgy area. so when we got out the cab there was literally rubbish everywhere... it was disgusting! i thought we were in the dingy suburb or something... but we found out that they just had the night markets on at the nightly ritual was to sweep all the **** to the road for the cleaner to come up and sweep. so we got to our hotel and the ...

... this sense of adventure and ease for a such a long time, but it has always been there. I felt the reality of life now as it was, and it was beautiful. Even the craziness of KL was beautiful. The nature of Malaysia was beautiful, the way of life in the Cameron Highlands, and the Malaysian people. The company and friends I had made were all part of the unique experience I had in this country and a magnificant part of my journey. It was also nice to be amongst real ...

Hello from beautiful Petaling Jaya, Malaysia! For the next 2 months, I'll be working at a home for disabled and orphaned children in Malaysia. I'll do my best to share my experiences with you.<br><br>I arrived on the 16th at 1PM at Kuala Lumpur International after 32 hours of flights and layovers, and was greeted and welcomed by 3 AIESECer's. We managed to fit my luggage in their car, and we were off. We came straight to the center where I will be ...

Having gained some time on our itinery, we planned to visit more places in Malaysia. Travelling by bus first to Kuala Lumpur. A big city but not in the same class as Singapore, where everything was spotless. Depending on which area you were in, for example Little India, it was just like India - dirty and smelly, they don't seem to be able to put rubbish in a bin. We went up the twin towers to the viewing platform and also up the KL tower - Roger loves ...

... by my re-naming of the famous KL tower (see heading)which we visited for a birds' eye view of the city with the limestone hills in the background. Then it was another quick shop....and back to pack and leave for the airport. A further drama ensued called "chase the departure gate"...but we eventually got home safe and sound and restocked with reading material.... and thrilled to have caught up with Yasmin and Farook and to have had the opportunity to enjoy their company again.

... as fun rages on in a large number of clubs, pubs, bars and discos that stay open until the wee hours of the morning. For the city and the rest of Malaysia is a veritable melting pot where varied beliefs, traditions and lifestyles of three major cultures exist: Malay, Indian and Chinese, resulting in an interesting tapestry of colors, creed, cuisine, customs and couture that tends to ...

School day started badly for Shirine with Mr. Vincent yelling at her. But the film show went well. We showed "The Mechanic" to a full house. Then Kula and Raj decided to change that "flim" for "the Great Escape" which also showed to a full house. I spent most of the day with Phillip. Neither Shahareen nor Shirine were feeling too well, so we tried to cheer them up. Went home straight at 1:30pm. Everyone else (except ...

... May, and Cze Loon. We had dinner on the way home -- fried rice, ayam, and pork. Home about 6:45pm. At 7:30pm, Dixon, May, and Pauline came and we all went to Grek Su's birthday party. Dixon couldn't get the BBQ started so we didn't eat until 10pm. Until then, May and I sat on the swing and talked. After eating, we finally went inside and socialized. The small, quiet party dispersed shortly after midnight. Once home, I watched the late night movie with the others ("W") then went to bed.

The Big Walk. We left the house about 6:30am -- it was still dark out. Dad dropped us off at the Selangor Club, and we walked to Pedang Meibok. We met there all the other KL-PJ AFSers and talked and chatted until 8:20am, when we started the 10km route. The day was overcast, which was really wonderful for us. It was a really fun walk. We were the last ones out of ...
