Destination: KL, Malaysia
I just recently received the CD of our KL-SG trip (Nov. 25 to Nov. 30, 2008) from Vive, our designated budget officer, tour operator and taga-dala ng camera (It is tiring to pose for more than one cam when you are in a group, how much more if there were just three of you. Hehe). I usually look at our pictures when I am stressed at work or feeling kinda down. The pics are great uppers.
I enjoyed the local food that we tried. I enjoyed our commuting experience, including the cab rides that we took (except the one that brought us to the airport for our departure — the cab arrived late from the scheduled pick up time and the driver stopped a lot to check the car engine that we feared we will not reach our flight on time), which we try to avoid during visits to other countries since it will be an unnecessary expense . Their Hop On Hop Off tour bus concept is quite convenient for tourists. It was, also, the only bus ride that we took during our stay since we did not try to understand how their bus transportation routes work (we were big on lrt/mrt rides during our stay). Of course, we did some shopping there. We went to Pavilion and Suria KLCC during their weekend sale. It was so fun, although tiring, to buy clothes and gifts and to just simply look around in and take pictures of some high end stores. The Petronas Twin Towers is very beautiful at night and Genting Highlands is such a cold and cool place. It was a pity we were not able to experience any indoor or outdoor rides (pity for my companions, I am ok about it, though. Teehee.) The cable car ride that we took was really long and high. It was also here that we bought a very good-tasting coffee, its exact brand name, Malaysian Coffee or something, I fail to recall at this moment (sa sarap, yung name nung coffee ang nakalimuan ko.herher). Oh, yeah, we had a getting lost experience there, too.
Amongst the many things that we did there, I would say that what I liked most about this travel, what I enjoyed most during the visit, what made it a Peter Pan happy thought kind of memory is the company I was with during the visit. =))
To my dearest Vive and Ca: Saan tayo this year?
