Malaysia… Truly Asia
Flew to Malaysia for the weekend, and although I’ve visited the country a few times before, I’d have to say there’s always something new for me to experience each time I visit Malaysia.
Petronas Towers
This place never gets old, the world’s tallest twin tower, which incidentally is also the world’s second tallest building. Although both buildings are being used exclusively by the Petroliam Nasional Berhad company otherwise known as Petronas, underneath the two towers is an upscale mall.
and on occasion, items like this on sale. ^^;
but be wary hailing a cab, cab drivers there can smell naive tourists a mile away. my cousin had a similar experience in Shanghai. just remember never pay more than 15RM for a taxi ride or 20RM during rush hour.
Corus Hotel
a four star hotel within a block distance from Suria KLCC mall and the petronas tower. we got the rooms packaged with the one night stay in Awana Genting inclusive of transfers for a measly $200usd. I would have been real happy on the deal until I found out on the last day that the Corus Hotel was giving out free Apple juice
just turn on the tap and Viola! free flowing yellow liquid.
Batu Caves
on the way to Genting Highlands we dropped by an old Hindu temple called Batu caves.
call me lazy but I was to weary to climb the over 200 step ladder that lead to the temple. however the sights below were good enough for me, they even had a barrel worth of real monkeys to keep people entertained.
keep your food stuff in the car though, or these chimps might decide to have a feeding frenzy on your munchies.
Genting Highlands
I would probably describe Genting Highlands as a mini Las Vegas. there’s entertainment for people of every age. younger folks might want to go around theĀ 3 theme parks available. however personally I did much prefer the indoor park rather than the outdoor one.
and for the more older folks there are 2 casinos and a nice golf course there as well.
