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…

Thanks to my former roommate Klaas, I was privy to the treasure trove of the then relatively unknown Rawa Island (compared to Tioman, for example), having seen photos of his Rawa encounter in 2002. The resort island was much less developed then, and that meant you didn't hear the drone of air-condi…

Kim decided she would come to Malacca with me for a night, so first thing in the morning we checked out and headed to the bus terminal. We could've gone the cheaper way and gotten a bus into JB then bought our ticket to Malacca, but we were lazy (yes, i've been travelling for not even a week a…

I'm on the plane home, and I'm realising what an awesome trip we have had. Adventure, luxury, great food, unique wildlife, freindly people, awesome scenery ... not to mention, challenges unlike anything I'd ever attempted before (eg. the mountain climb). I'd definitely recommend Malaysia as a holi…

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…

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!

If you want a relaxing holiday somewhere pretty quiet where you can get away from everything this is the place to go! We stayed at the Tanjung Sanctuary - a fantastic hotel,in acres of forest with private beaches and monkeys,giant squirrels, giant lizards roaming free (and in the case of the monkey…

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…

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

Reached Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on 20th of August at around 6.30 in the morning. Its a big and one of the best airports in the world. Have to ride a train to reach the immigrations from the arrival lounge. Most of the shops were closed as it was too early in the morning. Clearing …

Um halb acht war ich heute bereits bei den Petronas Towers um eines der 1200 Tickets zu ergattern, die täglich vergeben werden. Nach einer Stunde habe ich schließlich eines bekommen, aber die Zeit ist schnell vergangen, ich hab mich gut mit einem Australier unterhalten. Die Wartenden wurden in vi…

Hier zijn we weer! Na een paar dagen afzien, zitten we nu te chillen in Penang, een eiland voor de westkust van Maleisie. Zijn alweer een paar dagen verstreken, en we hebben Thailand goed afgesloten (we missen Thailand een beetje). De laatste avond hadden we de scooter nog, en daarmee zijn we langs…
