Visit FT!

My friends.. have been in Malaysia for a few days... & this post show photos and stories to share! ... based on what my friendz stories...& experienced!

KL always welcome you... with smiles!

just landed @ KLIA... the best ever airport i seen!

We landed in Kuala Lumpur, KL, and spent few nights at a really great hotel called Tune Hotels.
The hotel located 5 mins by taxi to KLCC shopping centre & Petronas Twin Towers, the world's tallest twin towers and about 10 mins walk to Heritage Row, KL's hottest nightspots... 5 mins by taxi down the road to KL's best clubs on Jalan Sultan Ismail.

Tune Hotels... night view!

We were very lucky. We enjoyed KL more than we thought we would and extended our stay several nights. We visited the Petronas Towers that are the tallest in the world as of right now. Without other skyscrapers around it is hard to get a feeling for how tall they are. Personally, its really amazing view when you see it...

see it.. the amazing KLCC!

and this also amazing view KLCC @ night..!

We set up a Saturday to go see animals at a national zoo.. It was an amazing day and something I really wanted to do for a day in Malaysia. It was absolutely worth it! I pet barking dear, held a flying squirrel, hedge hog, we fed a Sun Bear honey off the palms of our hands...

elephant or gajah in malay word..


If you come by the zoo in the mornings, you might be lucky enough to hear the musical calls of the gibbons and siamangs...


in Zoo Negara, you can have a look at this "milky stork" right in front of your very own eyes...


houses four types of bears; the Asiatic Black Bear, Brown Bear, Sloth Bear and our very own Malaysian Sun Bear..


Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman is one of the oldest public aquariums in the country...


the Bornean and Sumatran Orang Utans and Chimpanzees...

and the Malayan Tigers...!

Once again It was absolutely worth it! when i visited the national zoo!

Having just flown across the world, from Dubai to Hong Kong (8 hr flight) for a short lay-over, then to KL (5 hr flight), we were jet-lagged, staying up until 5 and 6 in the morning, and shocked but grateful for the amazingly warm and humid weather. When I got off the plan at midnight our first night, the air smelled familiar... it was exactly like Florida air! same smells and feel on the skin and animal sounds… very cool.

yupp its really cool!

KL, and Malaysia really, have felt very comfortable and familiar. TV and radios have all been in English and we, unfortunately, have not learned a word of Malay, because everyone has been speaking in English around us. I won’t complain anymore and just be grateful that traveling here has been so easy so far. Even eating off the street vendors, with very tasty anchovy-chili pastes and good curries, locals could tell us “this is chicken, mutton, potatoes, etc.,” which was very helpful and allowed us to find some good but cheap meals.

should try this ... satay!

While scoping out Malaysia from our relaxing hotel in KL, we decided a few days of soaking up the sun was necessary to adjust to the new warm weather after the cold weather in Europe, which I think still doesn’t compare to the wickedly cold weather you Chicagoans have been having and even Atlanta has been colder than normal this year! We picked Labuan Island! in Borneo.
