Hallo en welkom op mijn travelblog ! De komende tijd zal hier steeds meer verschijnen betreffende mijn reis rond de wereld.

My stay in Malaysia, however brief, was a much needed opportunity to take some time all to myself and get some much much much needed spa treatements (this travelling is BRUTAL on your feet! And did I mention it's been well over 2 months since I've gotten my nails done? Shan the last time was with you in Washington! To THINK I've gone this long!)...

For all of you who know me, I love to do it local. Eat with the locals, and stay by the locals, and definitely take the public transportation with the locals. But the funny thing about doing it in a foreign country, is that you can ask the same question in how to get somewhere, and whats the best way 10 times and get 12 different answers. But we...

The Green Hut lodge in KL (near Bukat Bintang, recommended!) is surrounded by bars, restaurants and street stalls. Our first curry in Malaysia was served to us by perhaps the most friendly waiter we have ever seen. He was quite happy to chat about his family, university and career aspirations in between serving dishes! On our first day we headed...

· J finally sets off on his travels at the end of November, spending a day in Sydney en route to KL, Malaysia. A month goes by in Malaysia pretty swiftly, with a mix of part time work (on a software project), rest and play. Spend a lot of time hanging out with Fred and crew as he organises a string of concerts for Karen Kong - his star act. Bea...

Arrived in Kuala Lumpur on the 30th - as expected it was very hot and we were grateful for a relatively short walk from the bus station to our hotel. As hotel prices are fairly cheap we were able to splash out a bit and stay in a smart hotel close to all the areas we wanted to see. When we last visited KL, on the way over to Australia the first ...

We left Genting early in the morning with a promise to go back since we think it deserves more than a day and a sleepover. I didn't feel queasy inside the cable car anymore as we went down to take the bus to Kuala Lumpur. Our first stop in Kuala Lumpur was the King's Palace. We were not able to go inside, just took pictures outside. Aftewards, w...

I am so happy that today was the last day of class. I have really enjoyed my time in KL and wouldn't trade it for anything. However, spending so much time with the same people and not really having any free time at all has been draining. I am excited to go on my own with Dan and make my own decisions. It will be great not to have to follow the g...

I got out of the airport after a billion hours of travel and took a walk in lush Malaysia.

So I just spent a day wondering around the KL Which is so easy to do because it is very compact and very well organized (and a trusty lil map didnt hurt) The malays LOVE mall culture They have some of the most massive and maze like malls i've ever come accross, Some even comparable to west edmonton mall. I was in one today that was 10 stories hi...
