I arrived the next day early in the morning. My next host picked me up from the train station close to his home. His apartment looked more like a hostel. It was only small, but there was a living room, a kitchen and apart from his own room, there were 2 other rooms with 2 bunk beds (room for 8 guests). He told us about a project he was on and told us he hosts a lot. That's the reason I choose to stay with him because he had the most reviews and good comments I had ever seen on couchsurfing. First he took us to get some breakfast. We went to a sort of chinese food court where you can choose from a lot of different stands. When the other couchsurfer had to meet up ... read more

Na to, ze je toto party hostel to bolo v podzemi kludne. Ono vsetci boli hore a dole sa chodilo fakt len spat. Dnesny plan tak ako vzdy botanicka zahrada a bambusovy domcek. Laundry podla recepcnej na Jalan pudu, tu chceli 10rm/kg. No vedla kfc na rovnakej ulici som nasiel pracovnu. Pranie 5 a susenie tiez 5rm. Oproti penangu je tato stara a treba si doniest prasok na pranie. Ziadna obsluha tu neni. V posledny den to tu teda otestujem. Na ranajky klasicky u inda s pojazdnym stankom. Rekonstrukcia nadchodu co spaja vlakovu stanicu kl a pasar seni uz pokrocila do finalnej fazy. Pekny moderny nadchod. Chuj som sa vsak nevybral po nom ale siel som popri poste. Dojdem za nu a tam mrezove dvere zamknute. Tak zas nazad a po zbytocnom zachadzani sa vynaram pri ... read more

Sunday, 20th January 2019 I've requested a visit to the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) this morning. R was pleasantly surprised that I had wanted to pop by to FRIM as part of my tour. This was where he had spent much of his childhood days whenever his family wanted a picnic excursion. We were up by 6.50 am this morning where FRIM was just a short ride away from his home. It was chilly at this time of the day as we proceeded with our walk to the picnic grounds and waterfall. The air smelt fresh and the tranquil surroundings plus the huge trees made it a pleasant visit. After our huge serving of wanton noodles, we went back to his apartment to continue with our rest before heading out for a massage at ... read more

The last time I was in Kuala Lumpur, I was confined to a bed with a bad back for almost a week. We had to skip a trip to Borneo (Sarawak) to see the famous orangutans. I was happy to get well enough to fly home, after Sheri nursed me back to some decent functionality. I have since had a minor back operation, and no worse for wear. The main reason to re-visit KL is our friend Angela. She is a friend of a friend, Sohbee and Tom, now residing in Shanghai. She showed us around KL after Sohbee moved to China, after a short time in the U.S. Besides her skills as a chef and baker, she is quite knowledgeable about KL, and its finer (not necessarily expensive) places to dine. However, I would suspect ... read more

Rano opat budicek nieco po 9.00 a v plane nic nerobenie v lobby a vybehnutie kuknut blizku cast dataran merdeka (len nech mi ubehne cas) Este pred odchodom na zachod som aktivoval cs appku. Po prichode najskor handrova hlava ale furt len vypisovala, realne sa asi ani stretnut nechcela. No potesila sprava od uzivatela menom lenka. Kukam profil a slovacka. Behom par minut doladene podrobnosti a uz masirujem na metro. Len nevyhoda je, ze to je uplne daleko. No nevadi konecne zas stretnem nasho hovoriaceho cloveka. Ak ma pamat neklame bude to este len druhy slovak. Prvy a na dlho posledny boli stredoslovaci vo vychodnom timore. Cestu poznam bo idem rovnakou linkou ako predvcerom ked som bol na turistike. Prichadzam na miesto stretnutia, cs sa nehlasi. A kurva, zbytocna cesta teda. Davam jej 15.min, nastastie sa ... read more
