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 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…

Taman Tasik Perdana, Perdana Lake Garden is an artificily made garden, made about 1880.  Around in this district  the British elite built their huoses with their characteristic English gardens.  The landscap is a mix of jungle and trimmed garden.  The place has a peace…

In the end I spent all night in the airport. This time around KL had a distinct "been there done that" kind of vibe to it. Even the pleasing jolt of seeing the Petronas Towers on the night dark skyline one last time couldn't lift this visit above the level of tedious transit chore. As the bus sped …

Kuala Lumpur is a bustling, exciting city, where wild colors and bright lights seem to linger in the sticky, humid air. Stand in the middle of the train station and watch the diversity of KL whizz around you -- a varying yet balanced melange of East and West, of modern and tradi…

KL (as it is affectionately known by most everyone who has been here) is big, noisy, dirty, and smelly. But hey, this is Asia, what did you expect, right? The KL Tower is the 4th tallest in the world. The public observation deck at 276 meters in height offers excellent panoramic views of the city.…

At 7 am I arrived in Kuala Lumpur!   So where are the koala’s? (not my joke) For just a short while I took the train and metro to spend an hour in Malaysia’s capital. My first impression is not a really good one. I was looking forward to seeing this city, but now when I look back I do s…

Hey gang,   Sitting in the Petronas Twin Tower’s food court, with my belly filled, I decided to enjoy a chapter from my treasured book.  The walk from the hostel to the towers was hot and humid, although milder than Singapore, and the air-conditioned interior felt like a touch of heav…

Back in KL to take our flight to Singapore . . . But before taking off, a little stop at Elma's, another contact of ours from CS. What a breathe of fresh air, this woman was!! We weren't too crazy about finding ourselves back in this city, since we'd already visited everything we wanted to during…

This short flight of 35 minutes (flighttime) was nothing exciting. Drinks were served and staff was friendly. Arrival in Singapore Changi Airport was ontime.

Because of the way Air Asia works it actually saved us like $400 to stay overnight in KL so that we did, plus we thought it would be cool to see the towers, and it was.  I don't have a lot to say about it because weren't there for long enough but I HIGHLY recommend the Trader's Hotel.  It…

It was a fun Friday & Saturday nite meet up in KL...from Gypsy bar...to Envie to Zeta Bar and to Sutra..it's all about party!

So I've made it to Kuala Lumpur.  Just.My baggage at Heathrow came to 53 kilos.  They were so not letting me on the flight with all that luggage unless I left it, sent it with the excess baggage people to send or pay a whopping £896 to send it with me.  Thats £32 per additional kil…

It was interesting to walk around in K.L. - didn't really seem that big, you walked from housing areas to temples and trainstations to shopping malls and streets all in one day - off course if you wanted to explore it took longer! Out of the places I've been so far in my life ths was possibly the l…
