Quality Shah Alam

... hour of enjoying some very impressive motorways. I must say, I am impressed with Malaysia’s infrastructure, but very unimpressed with the taxi drivers… What a scam! If you ever come to KL, do not take taxis… it cost me 8 rinngits, like a few dollars, to get from the airport all the way into the city, and he was trying to charge me 90 rinngits to take longer in the morning! He did also decide to ...

... visit Batu Caves, a holy site for the Hindu people in the area. It is a complex of caves set into the cliffs and can be reached by climbing 272 steps - avoiding the monkeys as you climb. <br>Back to China Town for dinner - Paul ate 400g of stir fried frog and some Honeyjack fruit (an interesting taste mix of melon and banana).<br>Spent our third day wandering around the city - Independence Square and the ...

... sleep on the beach when they get there as the island fills up!<br><br>Georgetown, Penang<br>So we left Rach at the jetty as she was heading to KL... Mark and I were heading to Penang..... couldn't get a direct bus, so we had to either go to Jerteh or Kota Bharu and get a bus from there... Jerteh didn't feature in the Lonely Planet so we though it would be more exciting to head there...<br>So off we went in a cheap, old local taxi and fair do's - when we got there, the driver ...

Hey... Elodie writing!! Sarah's taking a break! So here we are in the Capital City of Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur... or to sound more local "KL"!<br><br>We've spend two days here and started our evening with an amazing view of the Petronas Twin Towers, 88 stories high connected by a skybridge on the 41st floor. We then walked back to our hotel with a stop in a street full of bars and clubs with a buzzing ...

... novels she pulls out about 4 different novels she had just purchased that day on her way home from work... and I comment on each of the books by saying oh "Ive read that"... but for some reason... something got lost in translation <br><br>When she pulls out her Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic novel... she thinks Ive said oh "I wrote that"... <br><br>For those who don't know... Sophie Kinsella is a "beach read" light hearted humour novel mostly for girls talking about ...

... what is available. There are some interesting designers here and I would love to make some money off of their products. The one thing I find when I go home to Canada is that there are no affordable home goods, everything is so overpriced with little selection... I find it frustrating and plan to change what is available to Canadians on that front. Im talking about decorative pillows, lamps, accessories, art, duvet covers and silks. The easiest ...

... up till 3 in the morning just the two of us talking and catching up on the few days we had been apart. We have become so close and I really feel like we are so similar in so many ways and I don't think anything about her would bug me. Really, she is such a sweet person but also fun and independent and a wonderful friend. I will miss her when I leave to Klungkung and I will definitely miss her when she leaves and goes back to Amsterdam to start her real life to become a lawyer, also like me.

... I would win. What they wanted me to do was withdraw as much money as I could to match the $30,000, hand the money over, then cash a cheque that would bounce for $60,000. They dropped me into town to withdraw the money, but there was no way I would do that, so I just returned to the hostel, and they left me alone. Sadly, a couple of days later, I met a Finnish guy in the hostel who fell for the scam, giving them 400 Euros. The argument for watching ...

... of cake, considering all my Uncle's had to personally feed me (some more than others) All I wanted was to get everyone together, so that was the best present of all! My new MN friend Alisa got to come and experience the punjabi family party style...definitely a good experience for her too. :)

We were supposed to meet Tim on arrival at the station but got in a bit early and were pretty much bagged, I expected as much before we left and had pre-warned Tim not to worry about coming to meet us. He did anyway and we missed him. We saved about four hours by taking the train over a flight back to HK and then to KL. The train station, KL Sentral, is fairly new and we were off the train and into a taxis very quickly. As with Singapore and HK everyone is very ...
