Blogs from Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia, Asia - page 11

Well good morning all. I Bet this surprises yáll. Due to the huge popularity of the travel blog, i have resurected and oldie, and will commence to blog again. Following the valiant effort of a recent USA Travbeller, A Mr A Spanner and family who produced what could only be called the Travel Blog of Travel Blogs, I feel the only way that I could take the challenge of blogging would not only this time will i try to upload photos, but I feel a video is forthcoming somthing that has yet to be done. Alas, I hear you say, not one of me and some trashy whore like those trashy celebrities that you find on the cheap websites, but a real travel video containing scenery and possible speaking and the like. Remember how good the ... read more

Kuala Lumpur Has Redeemed Itself Day two dawned in Kuala Lumpur with my alarm clock of clunking water pipes above my head at 8am... For the price I am paying here RM98 (Roughly $35AUD) a night, I don't think that the place is bad value at all... there was a little bit of noise late into the night with cars and people going past my bedroom window yelling etc, but I am used to living on a main road so it didnt really bother me.. I can see if you are a light sleeper that this room may do your head in... but for me, its fine.. I was glad that the pipes woke me as I didnt have an alarm set (no electricity converter so phone etc all getting low on battery). I got ... read more

Going from the British winter to tropical Malaysia was always going to be a bit of a shock to the system, and sure enough the humidity and warmth was striking when I first stepped out of the airport. However, it wasn't as hot and sticky as perhaps I'd anticipated, and walking sometimes some substantial distances has been quite comfortable. Continuing with the story from my previous two posts of my arrival in KL city from the airport and time spent trying to find the monorail station, I arrived at the station closest to the guesthouse I'd booked 3 nights at a few weeks ago, the Irsia B&B guesthouse by 9pm, checked in and went up to my basic but clean and neat room on the first floor. Had a quick shower then went out looking for ... read more

Vi er framme i Kuala Lumpur. Og dagen i dag har bestått i soving, shopping, god mat (som forøvrig har vist seg å være innmarig bra) og selvfølgelig fortryllende drikke! Masse kjærleik hører også med :). Vi landet i KL kl 07.00 i dag tidlig (00.00 norsk tid). Vi hadde da lagt bak oss 17 timer med reising. Turen gikk overraskende bra, tiltross for at jeg ikke fikk sove mer enn tre timer.. men det skal være sagt at å sove på fly aldri har vært min sterkeste side. Tiden ble derfor brukt til å prøve og sove, se film - vel og merke tre stykker, lese bok, spise masse bra flymat (ja det er sant!) og å se på at Aleksander lå i sin beste søvn og sov.. Han er nemlig rake motsetning av meg, ... read more

It’s only been three days of my travel, and it already feels like I was born to travel…and write (to a lesser extent). I knew I should have done a photo travel journalism or fashion design/photographer as my major. But hell, I now travel to see the client, work late hours and charge by the hour for my services. Well, let’s leave it at that, shall we? My venture to discover Malaysia still continues. I am not entirely sure what lies ahead in this wonderful travel I am undertaking. Thailand was in the pipeline, then Indonesia. However, both got scrapped. Now, KK plans a visit to Sri Lanka, his homeland. I don’t mind, as long as the price is right. Anyways, one of the things I wanted to do was to visit all the SAARC (South ... read more
