This nasty shitter was actually very splendid compared to some i had to point my arse at
quite a pleasant few days all up in penang, next it was off to KL and genting highlands
that toilet is clean, someones scrubbed all the treadmarks off it
Might be time some of these rickshaw drivers retired i reckon, This one looked positively fucked . had to stop for a rest.
inconsiderate barsteward, what if i had of been late for the plane
Landing in KL we checked in to the parkroyal hotel which was a stones throw from the tourist area of Bukit bintang . then it was of to see the Batu caves about 13 kms outside of KL
We took a taxi from the hotel but you can get a train from KL sentral for a few ringgit
if your coming here on the weekend its probably best to get here early, gets packed with locals and tourists
Dont ask me whats inside those caves , had a bit of gout going on ( self inflicted) there was no way i was climbing 300 stairs to find out. and it was bloody hot
trinket shops inside Batu caves!
Oh, yea, and some religious stuff also, more stairs, lots of bats,......
Arriving in Kl you quickly realise you are in one of the most cosmipolitan cities in asia and with more bars than mosques you wouldnt believe you werein a muslim country. however once you pick up the bar menu you quickly realsie that the fun tax is well and truly applied, we managed to dodge the mosques and found a few dive bars to drink at
parkroyal turned out to be an excellent location for us as i wanted to buy some new shirts
across the street was the sungai wang plaza, berjaya times square where you can experience an air conditioned theme park for adults and children called galaxy station and fantasy garden, sorry, the fantasy garden is the part for kids and bintang plaza, and a short stroll away was the monorail, to easy really
And another place called pavillion wasnt far either
Damn shame that asians discriminate against fat conts' after all that poncing about in malls looking for clothes i managed to find only one store selling clothes that actually fit me
Heres a bank security guard doing what bank security guards do best
Thought we might have a look at the petronas twin towers and get some pics up there but there was a big line for that so just had a wander around the suria mall instead.
later on that night we went to the Grand Hyatt where you can get a 360 view of KL and a good view of the twin towers
next it was of to jalan petaling in china town for a look at the night market
not much of interest really, just the usual chinese crap
Some new shoes for the kids
Bong anyone?
i had my fill of hawker food by now so we headed over to changkt bukit bintang to look for a steak
Plenty of bars on this little strip to
Mission accomplished
Next day we took a taxi to genting highlands to ride the skyway
Genting skyway is the worlds fastest mono cable car system, making genting highlands more inteesting. After "take off " lush greenery, cool highland mist and the audio guide make the ride strangely serene
I have been traveling through Malaysia for many years and the only part you will notice the strong Muslim presence is up on the Thai border opposite to where all the fighting is going on.
As far as the rest of the country goes they just cruise along. As a Tourist one wont notice any religious problems. The farang that live there more than likely have a different story.
I do like Malaysia quite a bit.
Genting calls itself the "City of Entertainment," serving as Malaysia's answer to Las Vegas, complete with bright lights (which can be seen from Kuala Lumpur) and gambling. And although most people come here for the casino, there's a wide range of other activities, although most of them seem to serve the purpose of entertaining the kids while you bet their college funds at the roulette wheel. While it lacks the sophistication of other casino destinations, it is very popular with local punters and families seeking a one-stop destination in the cooler mountain air.
it was packed the day we went, come early
i think we paid about 20 ringgit each and the youngest was free
it really does get quite misty up there
Kids loved it
Back in the taxi and back to KL, trip over
^ agreed, we arrived xmas eve and that airasia terminal was chaos with all the students flying about, a good thing with airasia though is the ability to print out your boarding pass online and if your not carrying much luggage your laughing , no need to line up to check in, Brilliant that
Yea, Terry....had a couple of visitors over the weenend before Christmas who didnt want to hang out in Ipoh where I live...the only reason why I went there that particular weekend. Didnt realize it was school holiday still.
Where in BB did you get that steak, BeerLaoDrinker....it looks great! Always looking for a reliable place to get a good cut of beef...
it was an awesome steak, malaysian foods great but im a fat kunt and need a steak every now and then , cant recall the name of the place but it was about the first or second restaurant (wasnt a pub) on that little strip of bars along changkat bukit bintang, i think it was across the street from reggae bar, wasnt cheap but damn it was good
Did your kids see the amusement park up there at Genting? Mine were so into it we ended up staying another night. Malaysia has it right 55 and you are a senior citizen, free admission to the park, and 1/2 price on all the casino buffets.
Owe, did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.
if you have the time and want to beat the line up for the petronas twin towers
buy a ticket the day before and you are reserved a place, also you get
a seniors discount if you are over 55.
thanks, I'll have to search it out! I usually end up at Hard Rock….a decent steak, not great but always consistent….
AO we didnt even know they had a theme park until after we left,The kids would of loved that for sure. i had better not tell them daddy fucked up. they will be howling,
ive got a few more years to go before that senior citizen discount kicks in, Does it apply for cheaper beer as well?
I wish mate, beer is really overpriced there, but at least there is a decent selection of dark beer as well.Originally Posted by beerlaodrinker
i tried one called panther or something like that 14% bloody hell
cant get me head around a religion that makes every fucker get up so early
Thats just explained it all male chickens are bloody muslims.
Lovely photos I like your travel threads mate.
