Quality Hotel City Center Kuala Lumpur

... home. Just kidding. We didn’t take one, but it seems that THE thing to do in Melaka is take a tour on a Trishaw. There are 2 seats in front of a guy on a bicycle that will cart you around to the major tourist destinations. The highlight of the trishaws seems to be that some of them are more or less a disco on wheels. They seriously had larger sound systems then in most cars. We returned to Jimmy’s that night and met his next two Csers; James and Carl two Brits ...

... from the town centre. Heathrow's not really in London now, is it.<br><br>So we started our Malaysian adventures in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. You'll be amazed to hear it is a big city with many shops, restaurants and skyrise buildings! For some reason I'd been expecting more but no, more of the same. Shame. If there is something we are grateful to KL for it is the fact it has shown us that we are definitely NOT city people. They're too ...

... in Kuala Lumpur (or just call it KL like Malaysians do). The temperature is only 91 today so it just feels like Orlando in June rather than August. Luckily all we wanted to visit was the Petronas Towers complex which were the tallest skyscrapers in the world at one point. But not to be outdone, the towers now market themselves as the tallest "twin towers" in the world. Gotta keep the tourists coming somehow I guess...<br><br>Waking up at 4am last year ...

Hello fellow travellers,<br><br>For the moment, I'm still collecting my thoughts for this blog. Anyway, any cyclist planning to cycle tour in my country, I'll be glad to be your friend and your guide. And yes, I'll also be joining your ride.<br><br>MANSID.

... restaurant had it not appeared in the guidebook, as there were no tourists to be found in the vicinity, and were glad that we had located it. <br><br>Friday we started the morning with a 60 cent bus ride to the Batu Caves, which were free of charge. We scaled the nearly 300 stairs to the entrance of the caves and explored inside. It was very beautiful and there were several shrines inside. At the deepest part of the cave was a shrine where a man was blessing people by ...

... favorite one was bold enough to walk up and grab a flowered lei off a young child&#8217;s neck. When the father tried to retrieve it, the monkey took offense and threw a punch at the guy. Comedy ensued. We kept our distance the rest of the way.<br><br>The caves were quite an impressive natural wonder, nearly matched by the multiple shower heads and marbled tiles in our room. Sorry &#8211; we have discovered we like creature comforts!

... going from the cool of the bus to the hot, muggy streets of KL and carrying 25kgs of additional weight. But luckily we had an easy 5 minute walk to China Town where we had decided we would stay. We found a cheap hotel (can't remember its name) right in China Town and were happy to see the room looked clean and tidy and the air con was great. It appeared clean that is, until there was a little discovery behind the toilet... we'll leave it at that.<br ...

... worker, and she replied: "The TV is ****ed!", hahahahaha! Why didn't she tell him that from the start :D [Tom: She was a proper mentalist and spent most of her time at work on facebook stalking her ex-boyfriends!] As my three quarter length trousers had now been ripped to shreds (my **** was actually hanging out of them by this point), I decided to go to the local supermarket and buy a needle and some thread. At the supermarket I made friends with one of ...

... both hungry so we had a bit to eat and the carrot cake was delicious. From here we went to Chinatown and unfortunately for us it didn't hold a candle to the one in Singapore. However we managed to get a new suitcase as one of ours was broken. We bartered and as long as it gets us home that is all I care about (it will probably last forever). There was a lot of junk at this place and people were following you or stepping out in front of you ...
