Blog: No Hurry Curry - 26 December 2009
12/11/09: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia When you think of Kuala Lumpur, what do you picture? Before yesterday I pictured a city full of koalas. I suppose this was by default, as I really had no idea what to expect upon coming here. Let’s just say the city has shattered my non-existent expectations. KL, as the lazy people call [...]

My Malaysian accommodation
Blog: The Fashionate Traveller - 24 November 2009
Part of travelling is deciding where you are going to stay. Obviously this is influenced by how long you’re travelling. Since I don’t travel for more than 2 or 3 weeks these days, I can go for slightly nicer places than when I used to go to India for 3 months at a time.

In Which Our Hero Wets Himself, Repeatedly.
Blog: ally - 19 November 2009
The theme of day one in KL was damp – from the slightly sticky sweet smell of the tropics as I entered the terminal, to the perspiration as I dragged my luggage to the hotel, to the down pour in the afternoon in which I managed to get drenched, to the enourmous shower-head in the [...]

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 15 November 2009
It was a stomach-turning, Malaysian pop music-filled, four-hour van ride down from the Cameron Highlands and we were greeted by a steamy day in Kuala Lumpur. First we settled in to our delightfully airconditioned room at the Mayview Glory.

It’s a long, long way to Kuala Lumpur…
Blog: ally - 15 November 2009
AKA: AirAsia Ouch! Flight from Melbourne to KL on AirAsia X was not nearly as horrible as I feared but no better than I expected. Check-in was again a breeze. Flight left twenty minutes late, but landed twenty minutes early. Seats cramped, but a bigger issue I found was the lack of legroom meant I couldn’t [...]

Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 4 November 2009
Have you ever turned up to an airport at midnight, dreading the prospect of haggling with a taxi driver that may take you on a special 100 buck early morning scenic tour? Or, if you want to avoid that, mortgaging your house to pay for the convenience of an overpriced room at an expensive hotel chain [...]Tune Hotels Review – Accommodation Like A Low Cost Airline is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Shop till you drop in Kuala Lumpur
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 12 October 2009
Malaysians love to shop. I believe the favourite national pastime in the weekends is strolling through one of the many shopping malls. For the locals, it’s a family-outing or a way of spending time with friends. It’s also a great opportunity to people-watch or escape the scorching tropical heat outside! For tourists, Kuala Lumpur is [...]

velvet escape’s Culinary Journey: Kuala Lumpur
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 18 July 2009
What: Curry laksa Where: Chawan (Kuala Lumpur) Note: Curry laksa is a Malaysian classic. It’s basically a thick, spicy coconut-based broth filled with chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts, fried tofu puffs and noodles (I prefer rice vermicelli – meehoon – in my curry laksa).

Kuala Lumpur
Blog: By Way of the World - 20 April 2009
We arrived in Kuala Lumpur and were immediately struck by how modern the city was. The contrast to Cambodia was stark. The roads were smooth, the buses comfortable, and we were cruising down the highway at - gasp - highway speeds! We've been joking that you don't really understand how vital good roads are to a country's economy and general health until you've spent time trying to get around a place with terrible roads.

Shocking Asia, Malaysia’s Thaipusam
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 26 March 2009
These devoted people have a Priest drive spikes through their cheeks and tongues or insert hooks into their backs and chests on which they hang various fruit or milk pots to add to the discomfort. Related posts:Tea Time in Cameron Highlands Malaysia
