travel blog: Kuala Lumpur 2

the next day we went to see the city (commonly known as city tour minus a tour guide)

some high rise buildings greet me in the morning when i peek from our hotel window

and this is the eye level view of the city. much like in makati 

the KLCC tower

the amazing Petronas twin tower. huge huge huge is all i can say

azim from london travelling alone. he took our group photos and gave us some tips about where to go in bali

gucci shop inside the twin tower's mall

chanel store. toni with her cousin carla. partners in crime (of shopping)

yes they do have hermes in KL. no need to go to US or Europe to buy that expensive scarves

waiting for the bus going to genting. skycable was under repair so we had to endure the heat in puduraya station

genting bus station. genting highlands is more like baguio city but this place is way way better

genting resort hotel lobby

i saw the bed inviting me to dreamland. as always i preferred sleeping over eating or riding those wild coasters in the theme park. it was raining hard outside anyway

before hitting bali we were in KL. 

it all startted with our tired and weary feet

we arrived 7PM and since our hotel (Ancasa Hotel and Resort Spa) is just near Chinatown we tried to check out what they offer. Its typical Chinatown place i guess like what we have here in the phillies.

some traditional chinese costumes

chinese restos lined up and we tried what they have

beef with onion and green pepper

some veggies which i forgot how it was called

 yeah they do have yangchow rice like here in the third world

it is very unusual that at 7PM the sun is just setting down in Malaysia. I mean here in the phillies 6PM is as dark as the bat cave. oh well

time to sleep

or clown around?

and more

travel: KL n Bali preview

i haven't posted any pics yet from my recent trip but let me just give an overview based on my biasedopinion. so i went to KL (Malaysia) and Bali (Indonesia) and gone for 8 days.

when you visit a new place especially another country the first place you will set your foot on is the airport. KLIA is one of the best airport i've ever been to. Other good airports are in HK, Pudong and Beijing. KL-LCC is good as well and is quite better than NAIA. Now why is that? Even Denpasar Int'l Airport is way better than NAIA. I wonder. But we all know the answer. That's another story.

Traffic in KL is not as heavy as Manila. Roads are wider. The only thing i hate was the taxi drivers. taxis in KL usually do not run their meters. Instead they will ask you for a ridiculous amount. mostly but not all.

on the other hand bali is like another small province but very distinct because every structure shows a unique balinese architecture. from houses to gardens to temples. you name it they might have it. even the dancers are balinese. ha ha ha. i love bali already.
