I don’t know how to begin this story, so I guess I’ll start at the end of it. This has been an unforgettable journey into the very best of me; -- I set myself free to be myself and I was just me, all the time… I’ve got to know a new world full of wonderful people, landscapes, dreams, and lo…

The humid jungle of Kuala Lumpur greeted me as I stepped off of the plane on the evening of March 23rd.  Well in all reality, the urban sprawl of KL is actually about 45 min drive from the airport, which is a little far for an international airport if you ask me. By the time I arrived into…

Today we decided to see some of the sights. We decided to go to the Petronas Twin Towers first as we heard it can get quite busy. When we arrived it turned out that you basically get a ticket (entrance was free) with a time on it, so you can come back at the alotted time. A great system as you can …

I did`nt really have much concept of what to do with this day. I did the typical tourist path the day before, but there was still a million things to see. I started out with a cup of Teh Tarik of course. This is a hot, sweet, foamy milk tea. Then i had my breakfast, which was obviously a good port…

          I think that this is the place in KL where all races meet. Today, I noticed that there were not too many people on the streets and I thought that since it's Ramadan, most  people would rather  stay at home on …

It is November 6th when my holiday starts. I went to schiphol airport and met there already another Jos, and Femke and Suzan. We lost each other in the plain. I arrived at 6:45 in Kuala Lumpur. A bus brought us all to our stay-over hotel. We went to our rooms and took a shower to wake up after a lo…

Well, the last few days since Nick left have been spent lying around with a rather nasty bout of flu. Probably aggravated by some rum and cokes on Friday, saturday I was sick about twenty times and had to go to the hospital in the end when my whole upper body cramped up. Which was not so fun....pro…

those who haven't been here, you are a big reason why i posted these photos.. Feel free to sightsee..

We had a late night departure tonight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth ... just before midnight in fact.  It was going to be another day of lazy gluttony when Kim found out that the Motorcycle Grand Prix was on at nearby Sepang racetrack.  Wow!  Just the sheer chance of that ... and the fa…

It was so weird saying good bye to Australia after having been there for awhile.  It was great visiting with Trena and Tim and Monica and Mike.  Looking forward to seeing them back in Canada.  Mon was nice enough to drive me to the train station where, literally, I made it on the tra…

Kuala Lumpur has some metro lines which on the map look pretty good, on the map also it's called: Integrated rapid system. In fact it's everything but integrated.1. There is no commmon fare system, so you pay every time you ride - when you change lines, you have to pay again.2. There are no conecti…

I got adopted by a local (Singaporean) family here. My new family dragged me to KL to spend the long weekend of Good Friday. Being a good Christian that I am, I spent the holy days smoking, chatting and drinking. :) That was also the weekend for F1 in Malaysia. It was to hot for me to see F1, so w…

I changed hostel at lunch time as the Oasis place was so crap, lost reservation, and when I got in last night someone was sleeping in my bed! Moved to the Backpackers hostel, which is also near Petaling Street, where the dorms are only 11rgt a night, and they have a rooftop cafe, and very useful st…

I had been in communication with TB Siti from Singapore for some time and was so pleased that she was coming to KL for a short trip. With her were fellow TB's Layla and Karen. Azian was a  TB from KL who had become a close internet buddy, and we took this opportunity to meet up for the first t…
