TRAVEL DATES: April 26 - 27, 2013
Now I clearly understand why Malaysia's Tourism tagline is "
Malaysia, Truly Asia!". Malaysia is like a melting pot of almost all Asian races and cultures. It is a country composed mainly of
Malays,
Muslims, Chinese,
Indians, and
Indonesians. It may sound complex but I guess because of time, different cultures had blended well already.

The capital city of
Malaysia is
Kuala Lumpur or popularly known to travelers as "
KL". From
Singapore, you can ride a coach bus which is a 5-hour trip, or you can opt to ride a plane via
Air Asia and it takes 1-hour. From
Thailand, you can ride a sleeper train from Bangkok or book a flight for faster travel time.
KL is considered as the Central Business District of Malaysia where lots of business institutions are found. However, there are also nearby places like
CyberJaya and
Subang Jaya, where other business establishments are located.
I only stayed for 2 Days and 1 Night in KL and admittedly, the time was not enough. Anyhow, I just maximized my stay and visited as many places as I can. A little bit of time-squeezing sometimes :).
Here are some of the places I visited during my not-so-long stay in Malaysia:

TRAVEL TIP:
Tourist spots in KL are far from each other so it is better if you have a
service van, tourist bus group, or private car rented for convenience's
sake. The weather is seriously hot, just like the Philippines, and it
reaches around 33 degrees Celsius during noon time. Bring with you your water, cap, and towel to escape the sun's heat!
