English translation coming soon... ********************************************************************* Seit dem 01.10. sind wir nun in malaysischen Hauptstadt Kuala Lumpur. Mit dem Flugzeug ging es von Bangkok direkt hierher und kurz darauf in das coolste Guesthouse meiner bisherigen Reise. Ein 4stoeckiges Haus, welches 1915 errichtet wurde und heute den Namen „The Village“ traegt, ist vollgehangen mit Gemaelden in allen Groessen und bietet auf jeder Etage viele gemuetliche Sitzecken, in denen staendig Backpacker aus aller Welt chillen. Hier herrscht eine richtig gemuetliche, haeusliche Stimmung und es faellt schwer, das Hostel ueberhaupt zu verlassen um die Stadt zu erkunden. Am liebsten wuerde man jeden Morgen aufstehen und den ganzen Tag mit Leuten Karten spielen, Filme schauen, kochen etc. Deshalb sind wir wohl nach 10 Tagen auch immer noch hier :). Kuala Lumpur ist ei... read more

El avión salia muy pronto por la mañana por lo que fue una paliza despertarse tan pronto pero merecía la pena. Llegamos a Kuala Lumpur a las 10 de la mañana, mi amigo TS estaba ahí esperándonos. TS es un amigo mio con el que llevo trabajando ya unos años, nos hemos hecho muy buenos amigos debido a todos los viajes que hemos hecho juntos este ultimo año (de trabajo) TS es el director y dueño de la oficina de Malasia y yo llevaba la region de Asia.

Su esposa Jessy casi siempre nos ha acompañado y nos lo hemos pasado ... read more

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 people and eventually found it. Bags unloaded we headed out for something to eat. We could already see the big price difference between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. We ended up in a very nice place ... read more

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 heart’s content, go wherever you pleased and still rock up at midnight and have your pick of places to stay. What’s more, all were cheap as chips and you could stay for as long as you ... read more

Malaysia, sun, tropical climate, Palms and friendly people. A country less to discover a new culture more discover calmless, find yourself in blue water like from the Bounty advertise and hang out in a hammock,explore the jungle by foot or by train, having an expensive Tiger Beer and some malaysian specialities. Malaysian people are very friendly,helpful and the have a lot of things in mind but not your money. The islands seems to be created by a dreamer which realised his imaginations of wonderful place to spend the rest of your life. The fisher arrive in the morning with fresh fish which u get from BBQ in the evening, snorkeling at one of the famost dive places on earth,swimming with a huge giant turtle and enjoy the sunset, with an expensive Beer (yes crazy). Though for ... read more
