Kuala Lumpur: Your Next Destination?


Kuala Lumpur is one of the "must- see" cities in South East Asia. At first, I thought Petronas Tower is the only tourist spot worth visiting there. However after our visit last December, we realized that four days were not really enough to discover everything that this city has to offer.


How did we get there?


If you will be coming from Singapore; then you have a choice to take a plane or a bus. Since travelling by land is much cheaper , we booked Star Mart Air Asia bus online. For a 5 hour bus ride, 63 SGD was not that bad for a round trip ticket right?

On the day of your trip, you just need to go to Golden Mile Complex terminal in SG and the bus will take you to Berjaya Times Square. The transportation in KL is not that difficult because like SG, they have good train services. It's very tourist friendly, as well as, there are also free bus rides which travel within the city; or if you are really lost, then call a cab!

Do you want to have a cozy party place for accommodation?



If you are the type of person who wants to have fun, party and dance your heart out after a long tiring day then Reggae Guesthouse is the place to be! We booked a twin room for 88 SGD-meaning, I only paid 44 SGD for my three night accommodation and free breakfast. Reggae Guesthouse 2 has a Reggae bar downstairs if you want to chill and meet other tourists. As a guest, you are also welcome to party in Reggae Mansion's rooftop where you can enjoy three complimentary drinks. The hostel also offers discounted tickets to some tourist destinations in KL.

So what are the "must see's" in the city?



Here are the top 5 places you shouldn't miss when you go there:

1 Petronas Tower
Enduring the long queue to see the city from the top of Petronas Tower is definitely worth it!

2. Batu Cave
Knowing the Malays through their religion while appreciating the magnificence of nature is such an enriching experience!

3. KL Bird Park
Walking side by side with  birds  is an adventure that you wouldn't want to miss!

4. National Museum
Discovering their heritage opens a realization that they are not really different from us. Even their language is quite similar with our own native tongue (Filipino).

5. China town and market place.
I know that you will not leave KL without a souvenir in your hand so you can just go to these places for affordable products.

That's it for now~ Until our next adventure!
