Well had a relaxing time in KL, not been at my peak of health so tried to get some recovery in. Guess what strikes though today- the deadly dodgey stomach! panic sets in when you run to a toilet here- you only get about 10 seconds before you have serious issues. But recovered pretty quickly in the end- and after 3 weeks of curry/spicy food it's ...

It truely is a small world. We said goodbye to Nicola in the Jungle, we were all heading to Kuala Lumpur and were sure that we would bump into one another but we didnt realise that we had booked into the same hostel, were next door to one another and shared the same balcony! Kuala Lumpur is a great, great city. We stayed in Chinatown again as it...

We were in Mechelen, missed the first train, were VERY relieved to have my passports and we did calculate to be there 3 hours up front, so now it is still 2. Although we took first class on the train, we cannot sit next to each other, which I needed after the excitement of this morning. NONE of the single blokes (yes, almost exclusively men) sug...

Well, hardly back home, but first place in my travels so far I have been to before since leaving Vancouver at the end of July. Fourth time here. In 1987 I went on RTW trip, 1992 studying at NUS in Singapore, 1997 visiting my brother when daughter was born here, and now at the end of 2007. So do feel quite familar with the city, even if it is alw...

Ah, de bruisende stad Kuala Lumpur... Een bezoek aan de Batu Caves mag niet ontbreken. Ook het hoogste twin-gebouw van Zuid-Oost-Azië moet je zien.

April 10, 2007 Kuala Lumpur in passing, on the way to Penang. We traveled by bus from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur. (RM 20.00 for two) We only stopped in KL to pick up a package at the American Express office sent to us by our friend Suzette. We had hoped there would be a couple more packages there but for reasons we can only guess at they had not arr...

So we had one day to do everything there is to do in KL, not an easy task! We chose to start at the Batu caves, which involved another bus of death. When we got there, someone tried to sell us a guided tour saying that none of the statues had English on them, we told him we'd make it up as we went along. Yet another conman bites the dust. So aft...

Friday 30th September 2005 The day begun early as we set off for the airport and I had my farewell with my father. The usual hug and the wise words of "Don't do anything stupid" - Damn it - there goes my fun! Mum and I drove to Heathrow at 6.30am arriving an hour and a half later to meet Hannah and her parents at the Malaysian airlines check-in ...
