Destination: Malaysia


MERDEKA!

This country was once a British Colony but obtained their independence on August 30, 1957. Its name was once Malaya , shortly after regaining its independence it was named Malaysia.

Popular Destinations in Malaysia are:

Historic Malacca was inscribed on the World Heritage List on July 7 2008. If you want to see Malaysia historic culture on a clearer picture , visit Malacca.

The Food Capital of Malaysia ; Penang is one of the most popular tourist destination in Malaysia because of the great tasting food that are cheap and being sold on the streets. In fact, food lovers all over the world recognises Penang as having the Best Street Food in Asia (read the article in TIME magazine 2004).

When you love to shop you also love cheap frills, bargain, discount, duty free (no tax). This is what the Island of Langkawi is known for. The island is lined with duty free shops where you can buy chocolates, wines and spirits, cigarettes, clothes. Don't bother bringing luggages because here its cheap.

Langkawi is also known as a Honeymooner's Paradise with its fine white beaches and romantic setting. Here you may find Langakawi Cable Car.


For family entertainment , kids (and parents) will surely love Sunway Lagoon . Just 30mins away from KL city , this amusement theme park features rides in both the water park and its adjacent dry park.

Also in KL city one should not miss Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower. It think it is best viewed at night when all its lights illuminating the massive structure.


Genting Highlands on the other hand home to the famous Genting Highlands Resort or otherwise known as Resort World Genting which can be reached from Kuala Lumpur by car in 1 hour. It can also be reached by a cable car called Genting Skyway.


These are just few of the destinations in Malaysia.

There are 2 airports (domestic/int'l) in Kuala Lumpur. The KLIA and KLCCT. Most budget airlines uses KLCCT terminal. Remember that these airports are outside KL city center and travel time is 45 mins to 1 hour depending on the traffic.

ASIAN ADVENTURE

Our adventure started in Singapore. We heard that it's really expensive to stay in Singapore so we decided to just pass by and eat at a hawker stall. Tiong Bahru was our first stop.
Spent a total of SGD30 to SGD40 on gloriously delicious meal!













Then we headed out to the newest Singapore attraction - Singapore Flyer - SGD29.50/adult entrance fee. You get to see the whole city for 30 minutes in a whole new way. Much like London Eye (in London).

After 5 hrs in Singapore we took a midnight bus to Kuala Lumpur. Buses going to malaysia are cheap and very comfortable. Best to hop on a bus during the night, it not only saves you accomodation expense but also less hotter to travel.
We arrived in Kuala Lumpur around 5am in the morning. Accomodations around KL during that time are fully booked because of the Formula One racing event. No choice but to pay more. Sigh

After a refreshing sleep and bath, we headed out to see the ever famous Petronas and KL Tower.

It's a quiet sunday morning , few cars are on the road. On the way to Petronas we spotted this cute hawaiian theme bar and resto .
At the end of the road is this humongous building towering over you. Despite of the KL heat , tourists flocked to KLCC Suria and the Petronas Twin Towers. But mind you, you have to book your tickets as early as 8am if you want to have an opportunity to climb up to the viewing deck. They only allow a certain number of persons in a day for viewing.





So you see, it's the Formula One fever in KL. Pose for the camera girl.
Hey! Do you mind?

A ground breaking experience and an ear splitting one. Watching the Formula One was extremely exciting! I was looking forward to seeing a car crashed to complete my experience. But unfortunately. the rain spoilt all the action. The race had to be stopped for a while. Spectators from all walks of life and all types of color grew impatient so just fill out the time , took our pictures ang goofed around the hillstand.
Next stop. . . Langkawi , Malaysia

Contact us for packages in Asia. We'd be glad to arrange every detail of your trip!
