Background: During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's history were marred by Indonesian efforts to control Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965.

Day 1 Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

View from hotel room

Day1 - KL Airport At KL I ran into a guy from work who works in the same building as me. What are the chances of that?? Small world.....He was on his way to Vn. I might meet up with him there if we get time but the schedule is FULL. I had the whole day to kill at the airport and managed to squeeze in 5 meals. The first time I got ripped off was at KFC. I ordered food and she asked "what sort of drink I wanted with my meal". I thought it was included and after she [View Full Entry]

Playing the Waiting game in Malaysia Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

creation on the Floor of the twin towers

Waiting is never my strong point, but waiting for a train seems different. You sit in a train station and wait, but its not like waiting for someone to come over or for santa to come down the chimney when you are 8 years old; it;s strangely peaceful. It is watching fellow travellers with interest, wondering where they are going and thinking of what they must be up to just to pass the time. Or in this case its sitting outside Starbucks with your little travel companion of a computer to update your blog. Our Mad dash through Malaysia has sadly [View Full Entry]

Hello little birdies (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

Rainbow Lorikeet parrots at at the amazing Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

(Day 555 on the road) I am back in Kuala Lumpur, and I love it just as much as on my previous few visits here. Of all the Southeast Asian countries, I definitely like Malaysia the most, with its mix of immensely friendly and tolerant people and its diverse natural beauty. If I ever chose to live in a country in this part of the world, it would almost certainly have to be Malaysia. This time however I was only here for a one-day stopover on my way back to Indonesia. In the morning I met up with Ali, the guy [View Full Entry]

Markets

Thursday 8th October 2009 - When our plane landed, at 9.30pm (2hrs behind Australia) the aim was to follow the crowd to find our bags - Luke got caught up looking at the Cigars worth thousands of dollars - and we lost our crowd. This airport was huge, really different - we had to catch a train to the other side to collect our bags. I was surprised at how quickly this all happened, and at how organised this airport was, or at how good we were at reading the signs in Malaysian. Luke arranged for us to get a taxi [View Full Entry]

Dodging Vehicles is a Sport… What’s That Smell? (by Trisha) Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

Asia Air Flight... his poor knees

In the U.S., it’s pretty much drilled into you the moment you sit behind the wheel, that “pedestrians have the right away.” There are nice little cross walks on every street, you feel comfortable stepping out in front of slowing cars & they even give you a ticket if you don’t abide. In “KL” this is not the case. We quickly learned after being dropped off at the Puduraya Bus Station from the airport that dancing in & out of cars & scooters doing 80 through the city is a crafted sport you don’t want to lose. There are not many [View Full Entry]

No Room at the Inn Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur » Bukit Bintang

Bee-autiful!

It’s official. Malaysia is full. I’ve been to some pretty crowded places in my time, but never before have I come across an entire nation which was sold out. Admittedly we hadn’t done ourselves any favours by arriving in late July, slap bang in the middle of peak season, but even so, you’d think there’d be at least some chance of somewhere to stay. Travelling used to be so easy. Any idiot could do it. Ironic, then, that now that so many idiots are travelling, it’s suddenly become so hard. In times past you could just mooch around to your he [View Full Entry]

Flying High Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

The God (Gold) Coast (no pun intended) airport is becoming rather spiffy and cosmopolitan, it even has it's own prayer/multi-faith room. I wasn't sure if multi-faith was a new religion whereby you had two bob each-way on all the religions or the room where all religious people went to let God sort them out. While whiling away the time before boarding our airasia flight to KL, I heard that even Fuifui Moi Moi couldn't save his team from defeat by the Storm, you have just gotta love that name if only he played AFL Rex Hunt would have a field day.

Makan puas-puas, ya! Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

Danger, men at work!

Naspali smo se, kot se sika. Ampak vremeni bilo kooperativno: scalo je kar solidno. Zato sva sla z Edom na zajtrk kar k sosedom, na kokos. Ampak ker nekaterim (khm, meni) to pac ni dovolj, se je Ed opogumil - in skuhal nudle! Yeah, the man can cook. Zanj je bilo to seveda nekaj povsem bednega in nikakvega, ampak nudli so bili pa bozanski. Se vedno je dezevalo, a sva se podala na pot. Tokrat v nov mall One Utama, kamor baje hodi vsa kitajska srednjerazredna smetana. Spet gre za konglomerat par centrov in zadeva je seveda ogromna. In seveda imajo [View Full Entry]

The Resort

Wow we finally meet again! We are all so happy to be together again after 20 months! Day trip to Kuantan was cool we went on the local bus saving heaps of money. Spent the day shopping in town then headed back on the local bus. We waited for half an hour for the bus back and it didn’t come so Scott decided to go ask a taxi driver how much it would cost. Two minutes after he left the bus came and we all hoped on hopping we would be able to see Scott on the way. At the traffic [View Full Entry]
