...airport in my home country. Kuala Lumpur International Airport is one of the international airports in Malaysia. This airport had been built on 1998 as part of the government project to host our first Commonwealth Games and also one of the mega projects for the MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor). The main objective and slogan for this airport was to bring the world to Malaysia and Malaysia to the world. As what I know, the cost to build this airport ...

Since the new airport was opened to public, I had used this airport so many times especially when I was studying in MARA University in Shah Alam (Capital State of Selangor). And Shah Alam is about 20km from Kuala Lumpur. I'm using KLIA facilities every time I want to go back to my hometown located in Kuala ...

Review of Kuala Lumpar Airport, Malaysia (KLIA)

Good, but a rather annoying ticket system

Advantages: nice atmosphere, amazing building
Disadvantages: very annoying first come first served ticket system

Visited the Petronas Towers this year and to be honest i was very disappointed. I arrived there at around 11am after using the very efficient but rather expensive train system which takes you from the airport (although going up the towers is free). Upon arrival i discovered that no tickets were available for today. In fact the clerk told me that tickets sell out very fast everyday, especially weekends and holidays when malaysians often visit. Therefore ...
...as early as possible (as you can't prebook tickets either). This mean that if you're just in transit like i was then you probably won't be able to make it in time as the journey from the airport takes upwards of 50 minutes and thats if you make all train connections perfectly. However within the complex there wasa very good mall, which is good if you have some time to kill. It has a very well appointed food court too, which serves excellent and cheap ...

Review of Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower, Kuala Lumpur

Chinatown : More than just a night market...

Advantages: Glimpse into the fascinating multicultural city
Disadvantages: Very hot, crowded, haven for pickpockets

...is for this reason that Chinatown in KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA is a integral part of the multiracial city. Located only minutes away either by LRT or car from the 'golden triangle', Chinatown is a jungle of hot bargains, fantastic street food and throbbing nightlife. It is, in essence, where shopping, food and culture collide in this amazing city. *What is it?* Although the most famous part of Chinatown is a road called Petaling street, Chinatown ...
