Kuala Lumpur Travel Blogs

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.

Kuala Lumpur and the Rainforest by May After our last blog about the tropical paradise beach, you all are probably wishing you were in SE Asia too. Before you get too jealous and before you buy your plane ticket, read on: because there is a not so fun side to all this. Landing in Kuala Lumpur From Tioman Island we rode a 3 hour ferry ride and about a 4 hour bus ride across Malaysia to its capital, Kuala Lumpur (KL). The bus didn’t drop us off where we thought it was going to (the bus station), so we were a [View Full Entry]

Cheryl the Frog

well hello everyone, I'm now in Kuala Lumpur, well actually I have been for about a week, not what was originally planned but such is the way sometimes. I arrived initially aiming to be on my way after about 3 days to the perhentian islands, (malaysia) for some diving, but due to the festivities of Hary Raya I ended up here longer than planned. I put the time to good use, up petronas tower and kl tower to see the views. Walked around KL taking in a few sights. Did a day trip down to Melacca and birthday celebrations yesterday at [View Full Entry]

Not very good at finding the time to do this. By the time I get round to it Rachel has already told all the good stories and I can't remember most of what's happened. However if you are sitting comfortably then I will begin. We decided that we had given enough money to Air Asia without taking anything in return and that we would actually take the flight to Kuala Lumpur. This took us to our first hostel where we stayed in and 8 bed dorm for two nights. In hindsight it really wasn't that bad but a bit depressing that [View Full Entry]

Awana Highlands

Hey you. It's time to dust off the old blog and let you know what's been happening in the life of an expat. The last 6 weeks have flown by and I take this as an indication I am feeling settled into the new lifestyle. Although I must admit that I am starting to miss a few things like the media craze of American sports. Especially now that both the NFL and College seasons have started I find myself addicted to reading articles on ESPN.com. Behind March Madness this is my favorite time of the year, especially when Jayhawks are off [View Full Entry]

Well, we finally managed to get here. What a sight Malaysia is from the sky. We thought we were going to land in the trees as tress were all you could see all aroud you for miles. It's not until the very last minute that an airport springs up. Once on land you can see the pride taken in the surrounding area of the airport, the roads are lined with well groomed trees and flowers. It looks beautiful. Until you hit the city! I guess KL central is much like any city, surrounded by beauty but in the middle it's just [View Full Entry]

Kuala Lumpur - Chicken feet anyone? Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur » Bukit Bintang

Very large python

Our bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur only took 6 hours and we both had a TV screen on the back of the chairs in front of us. They had lots of different movies and TV shows and we could pick what we wanted to watch. When we arrived in Kuala Lumpur we got a taxi from where the bus let us off. A long time later and our taxi driver couldn’t find our hostel. We knew he was in the right area, he just couldn’t find it. We eventually got out and said we would walk. We asked a few [View Full Entry]

Chinatown i Kuala Lumpur

Bussturen fra Perhentian Islands te Kuala Lumpur va ganske lang (ca 8 timer totalt), saa me ankom ikkje Kuala Lumpur for i 5-tiaa paa ittemiddagen. Bussturen kosta heile 80 kroner per person! Me bodde pa Grand Millennium i Bukit Bintang (sama hotellet som Henning har bodd paa de gongene han har vaert i KL for) - et fint hotell midt i sentrum. Itte me hadde sjekkt inn og gjort oss klar traff me Nik (ein tidligare arbeidskollega av Henning i Tieto) paa et av kjopesenterene i byen. Me spiste middagen paa ein plass kor me fekk kver si steikeplata og steikte [View Full Entry]

Day 30 - Kuala Lumpur Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

Petronas Towers, KL

Well it’s the last day of our trip, and we are quite frankly, buggered. We are in Kuala Lumpur, the weather is hot, sticky and uncomfortable. We went out this morning and walked over to the Petronas Towers. Unfortunately there were no more tickets available to visit the sky bridge between the towers, so we decided to visit the KL Aquarium which was very interesting. They have a great setup in their facility including the main tank which has a domed walkway through the middle. Interestingly they have lots of sea turtles on display which I have not seen before. We [View Full Entry]
