Live a Malaysian when in Malaysia!

Kuala Lumpur is truly the melting point of the world. It’s the place where the west meets the east. It’s the great bridge between the life you live today and the life you always wanted to experience.

KLCC

Now picture this in your mind: While Kuala Lumpur city is amazingly metropolitan, it is surrounded by dense tropical rain forests with great scope for adventure. While the people themselves are predominantly of three Asian ethnicities, almost everyone speaks English. The diversity of people means that one can experience three different cultures at the same time, the cuisine, festivities, and history. All of this, in a comfortable English speaking neighbourhood. And beyond this, travelling from KL within Malaysia is easy and inexpensive. If you ever wanted to pack your bags for a holiday, KL should be right up there on your list!

Petaling Jaya (PJ as locals call it) is a satellite town of Kuala Lumpur. My time in PJ was a joy ride both because of the kind of destination Kuala Lumpur is, and the kind of host Mr Sim is. While Kuala Lumpur and the adjoining PJ have many popular tourist attractions, a lot of the local life is beyond what the tourists get to see. Mr Sim, my host in PJ (and now a very good friend) can lead you to the best places to experience the real Malaysia.

Everyone knows about attractions like Petronas Towers and Cameron Highlands, and I’m not going to touch that. Mr Sim led us to places where you can live the life of a Malaysian. Ming Tien food court (PJ’s largest food court), Crab Island, etc are examples. I also happen to enjoy Toddy (a kind of Palm Wine available only at very few places in the world) also.

Ming Tien Food Court
While Malaysia, and Kuala Lumpur the city are a very compelling places to stay or holiday, what compliments the amazing place is Mr Sim’s friendship and tourist guidance. If you plan a visit or stay in Kuala Lumpur, I would recommend PJ for residence and Room4U for Mr Sim’s hospitality! I lived a Malaysian while in Malaysia

Thrilling ATV ride in the jungle

Thrilling ATV ride in the jungle

On my first weekend in KL, some friends and I decided to go on a very special trip on the edge of the city. Located in the jungle northeast of KL, there is an ATV adventure park offering 5 different exciting packages of ATV jungle riding. The packages start from RM 50.00 (1/2 hour ride) to RM 300,00 (3-4 hours offroad ride). It was really much fun and I would go for it any time again. The ATVs have a 150 ccm strong engine and quite a lot of power to overcome the challenging offroad ride.

How much is it?

Depends on the package you choose: Check http://www.atvadventurepark.com/package.htm

How to get there:

Getting to the spot by public transport was quite difficult. You can take the LRT to Wangsa Maju (RM 2.30 from KL Sentral) and take a cab over there. However, we had big problems to find a taxi driver who is willing to drive to the ATV park, because he can’t find a customer back. Fortunately and Indian guy picked us up after we negotiated a RM 30.00 deal. I guess you probably find nobody driving with meter. To make him understand the way, it is useful to go to the ATV’s website and download the map on your smartphone to show it to the cab driver. Actually you have to go to Zoo Negara and drive all the way up to the jungle.

How to get back:

Ask the owner of the ATV park to bring you back to the zoo with his 4×4.

Make sure that you call the ATV park and make a reservation before you go over there.

How to get around in Malaysia

One of the easiest way is to rent a car. It’s not the cheapest way but the fastest and most comfortable one. Especially when you are going to places where you need a car to get around (eg. Cameron Highlands). I can highly recommend the Paradies Car Rental Company located in KL.  They offer the best prices and a very good service. They even deliver the car to the Millennium Square if you ask them for. They are always on time and I had never any problems with them.

Battlefield Kuala Lumpur

Battlefield Kuala Lumpur

In Kuala Lumpur, there are plenty of Paintball fields where you can have a lot of fun with your friends. One of them is Xtion-Paintball in Bukit Jalil (near the big stadiums), where some friends and I have been last Friday on public holiday. There are several fields which you can choose from and you get briefed on the rental equipment and rules. We decided to play 2 on 2 in the “Capture the flag” mode. Both teams, only separated from each other by a no man’s land area, had to shoot two bottles of the counter team first. Once this goal achieved, you are allowed to capture your own two flags on your playground and bring them back to your base. If you run out of pellets, just raise your hand so nobody will shoot you any longer and you can buy further pellets from your field supervisor.

How much is it?

Depends on how many pellets you need:

Basic package includes 100 pellets and is RM 30,00.

Check http://www.xtionpaintball.com/products.htm

How to get there:

Getting to the spot by public transport is very comfortable and cheap but takes at least 1 hour from Millenium Square. You can take the LRT to Bukit Jalil (RM 3.90 from Asia Jaya) and walk from station to the nearby location.

However, I would recommend to call the provider before you go over there.

Enjoy the life in Malaysia – Langkawi

Some friends and I decided to go to Pulau Langkawi for a weekend. And there we found the true paradises. It’s definitely one of the nicest island in Malaysia. You can do a lot of activities there, like jet ski, atv-trips or jungle-trekking. I highly recommend to rent a scooter (30Rm/Day) and drive around the island. Then you can find all the lonely beaches and secret spots and even some very beautiful waterfalls.

How much is it:

Langkawi is a dutyfree island, so food and beer are very cheap there. Make sure you book a few weeks ahead and the hotels should be affordable as well.

How to get there:

By Bus:

Form Singapore, Johor and Kuala Lumpur, there are buses running daily to Alor Setar/Kuala Kedah. Please contact local bus operators for more information. Another option is by rail, KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) starts its journey from Singapore with interchange in Kuala Lumpur and then all the way down to Alor Star Train Station and Arau. From Alor Setar Train Station to Kuala Kedah Jetty Terminal with taxi (RM18.00). From Arau to Kuala Perlis Ferry Terminal with taxi (RM12.00).

By flight:

From Kuala Lumpur

Fire Flyz have only 1 flight daily

Malaysia Airline 5 flight Daily

Air Asia Provide 7 flight Daily

Make sure you book a few weeks ahead. Flights are much cheaper than last minute.

Tioman

Tioman-Island. The best island if you know where to go

Tioman is one of the most beautiful islands I have been to so far. It’s duty free, so food and drinks are very cheap (Happy Hour: 4 beers for 12RM). It’s a true paradies and it’s easy to enjoy your life there. You can go scuba-diving, fishing, snorkeling or just enjoy the lovely beaches. I would highly recommend to go to the ABC Beach. It’s definitely the most beautiful one as there are no roads and only small huts, located at the beach.

How to get there:

You can go there by bus or plane(Berjaya Air). The flights to Tioman are quite expensive and the bus takes more than 6 hours. I would recommend to rent a car and go there on your own.

To Mersing:

Take North-South Highway, head south towards Johor (from KL or North). Exit at Ayer Hitam (exit 244) After toll gate (see http://www.jputra.com – for road map), take a right turn at the traffic junction and head towards Kluang. Before entering Kluang town, there’s a roundabout, take 3 O’clock. Follow signs to Mersing or Route 3.

Approximate travelling time : 5 hrs from KL

After you have reached Mersing, asked someone how to find the port and take the ferry to Tioman (35RM one way)

Please note that the time schedule is a guide. Often the boats leave only when there are enough people to justify the trip and when the tide and weather changes . Punctuality is questionable. For enquiries call ferry counter at Tel: (6)07 – 799 4811

For those of you who would like to pay a little more but be guaranteed a seat especially during public & school holiday periods go here for online bookings at http://TiomanFerry.com .

During the monsoon, December-February/March, there tends to be only one departure per day, usually quite early in the morning. Best to stay overnight in Mersing and get to the ferry port early on day of departure.
