After a long absence, I was headed back to Thailand only this time, Phuket was on the destination list. Truth be told, I'd never planned on coming. Somehow crowds of tourists, lack of culture & resort themed areas never piqued my interest. However, would it be fair to judge a place without giving it a proper visit? Here are my first impressions...
The Batu Caves, located just outside Kuala Lumpur, is an amazing place to visit while traveling in Malaysia. For those who visit, you'll have the chance to stand in front of the world's largest statue of a Hindu deity, climb a few hundred steps to its entrance, see a unique temple up close and personal and observe the chaotic nature of its monkeys.
Ever wanted to know what it's like to travel to the other side of the world? Here's a chance to relive the experience & my best attempt to recap this 'longest travel day'. Clearly it's more than a 24 hour day BUT technically, we were traveling into the future. Have you been to the future? I have & I didn't expect it would be this exhausting...
After all the planes, trains and automobiles, all the hotels, hostels and guesthouses, all the taxis, tuk tuks and rickshaws, and all the crazy travel experiences in between, I can tell you… you really don’t need that travel agent. I've covered thousands of miles so far in my travels and still haven't had much need for one.
What’s the first thing people do when they come to Kuala Lumpur? Head to the Petronas Towers of course! It’s Kuala Lumpur’s stamp on the city skyline and is probably one of the most visited sites throughout the country! And for good reason too, they were quite an engineering feat and today they stand as the world’s tallest twin towers…
Heading back from the Cameron Highlands, we had just 1 day in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we wanted to make the best of it. While our travels thus far in Malaysia had been wonderful, we had taken for granted having plenty of time to experience this great country. Now we were faced with only 1 day in Kuala Lumpur. Luckily I had found plenty to do!
