Look I'll jump right into it this place is great. Stepped off the plane to be chauffeured off to the resort (Tungjung Rhu). Was offerred refreshments and quickly escorted to our room... ooh la la. We promptly started our holiday by getting stuck into the food glorious food (it was lunch time and we were hungry). Note: take a package deal all you can eat in any restaurant (there are 3 to choose from). We then took pictures around the resort had dip in the lagoon pool.

Hi all - We'll I guess your wondering what I mean by twin peaks and shopping. Well we visited the twin towers (in otherwords "Petronas towers") yesterday and this morning we went to spend some cash at Chinatown...you'll find it easy to get to by the monorail. Thought I'd put together a few Q's & A's. Twins towers - free!! Just go pick up tickets in advance. Taxis - always bargin (otherwise go metered). We paid 7-8rm for travelling around city from one end to other. Good spot to eat - Hawkers food court behind Lot 10(a shopping mall). Two meals under 12rm (very tasty). BB Plaza - 6 levels of shopping heaven (for some). Everything - jewelry, dvd's, clothes, shoes and phones phones phones. Good bargins to be had .. always ask for "best price". ... read more

Arrived in KL yesterday (very early after very minimal sleep) - met up with Rob and Tracey and decided we should go to Genting - like a large indoor and outdoor entertainment complex, with casino's, many rides outdoors and indoors, shopping, cable car etc you get the point. Thought we'd have a fun day enjoying the ride etc, and then we arrived at the top of the hill (after many frustrating attempts at getting a taxi driver!!!!! - that doesn't want to rip you off). While we'er on the subject note about taxis: get one that has a meter, or you will have to haggle for a decent price. City trip 10 rm (max absolute max), trip to Genting - 150rm, getting back 80rm. Back to Genting when we arrived at the top of the mountain ... read more
