Afgezien van twee irritante fransen voor ons die hun stoel na 15 min vliegen al maximaal naar achteren deden ging de vlucht voorspoedig zelfs het eten was lekker . Een korte zoektocht bracht ons naar het hostel gezien deze in een villawijk stond was het contrast groot... Jeukende flinterdunne matrasjes in een stapelbed z http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-460147.html We jumped on a bus from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur KL. After 2 hours we arrived in the city but it took us another hour to negotiate the traffic and get to the bus station We had booked into the Attapsana Guest House in the Bukit Bintang area love that name of the city and it was a lovely quiet wee place. It was very basic and cost 12 UK pounds a night but was in a great location and the owner http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-459480.html Goodbye Australia Soooo I left Narelle in Brisbane and set off for the Gold Coast to stay with Dan and Shannon before flying out the next morning.. Shannon picked me up from the train station and we just chilled at home until Dan came home and cooked us dinner Mmmmm thanks Dan I tried to make a 5th night drinking but was struggling so let Dan polish off all the wine instead An early night was http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-447000.html Day 7 KLWe left Siem Reap early for KL. We checked into our 5 star accommodation and relaxed for a while before we hit up KL tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. Somehow we took a wrong turn on the way to the KL tower and the 15min walk turned into a 1hr walk. If we took one simple left turn we would have saved walking in a huge square... oh well An hour and 537 calories later we made it.KL t http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-446981.html What a way to spend a few short days off When my friend Ayden told me he'd be stopping in Malaysia for a few days while crossing the globe I jumped at the chance to have some face time with someone from home. I love all my friends in Korea but they only know me as Korea Megan while people from home know me in a different light. After a few speed bumps and what seemed like a dead end some lig http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-446696.html And so after the party celebrations a slightly light headed Mr. Byrne had to make his way through the underground system and over to the travel Agent to catch his VIP bus into Kuala Lumpur K.L. baby. Malaysia here we come. Pretty crazy coming out of Singapore as we drove for literally about 20 30 minutes past a Lamborghini dealership which had the sexiest Lambo Ive ever seen in my life a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-445949.html English translation coming soon...Seit dem 01.10. sind wir nun in malaysischen Hauptstadt Kuala Lumpur.

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 didnrsquot come so Scott decided to go ask a taxi driver how much it would cost. Two minutes after he left the bus came a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-443913.html After a few relaxing yet busy weeks back home we decided it was time to head off to Asia once again. We decided to return to Bali for the summer so Matt could spend his time surfing and I could get on with some art work. On the way we stopped off in Malaysia to spend a month on our favourite beach island but ended up spending a week of that in Kuala Lumpur sorting out our Indonesian visas.We staye http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-443519.html Itrsquos official.Malaysia is full.Irsquove 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 hadnrsquot done ourselves any favours by arriving in late July slap bang in the middle of peak season but even so yoursquod think therersquod be at least some chance of somewhere to stay.Travelling used to be s http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-442225.html El avin salia muy pronto por la maana por lo que fue una paliza despertarse tan pronto pero mereca la pena.

The first night we had dinner and a few beers before heading off to bed. The next day we didnrsquot manage to drag ourselves out of bed until 4pm but it was all good as there were huge rain stormsThe second night we headed towards the waterfront and had dinner v impressive.

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 couldnrsquot find our hostel.

Although I wasn't too impressed by the city I did get to enjoy what there was to offer. I went to the Batu Caves in the evening but the monkeys had all gone home for the day leaving worshippers and a few roosters. There are a few shrines ppl can make a donation to http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-431815.html Originally I thought I would be going to JahoreBahru for the day then my collegue informed me that her husband has a conference in KL and of course how could I resist the offer to return to KL After passing immigration taking a bus to Jahore and then another bus in Jahore to the bus station we eventually boarded the Konsortium coach. I flew with Konsortium the last time I went the seats are http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/Bukit-Bintang/blog-428639.html So we left Kuala Lumpur after 7 days of relaxation and some may say laziness and headed off on the next stage of our journey to Gemas where we were to pick up the 'jungle train.'We were keen to get on with our travels after our recuperation period and so arrived at Puduraya Bus station with anticipation.
