Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Got the airfare for a promo..PhP3,500 Manila-KL-Manila. Travel time from Manila to KL is approximately 3 hours. 


I'm really in Malaysia..^_^

Stayed in Hostel Cosmopolitan located at Jalan Haji Hussein. Paid RM60 (PhP780) for an overnight stay in twin private standard room. Air-conditioned and shared bathroom. Common dining area so you would also get the chance to meet other travellers. For other room rates, visit http://www.hostelcosmopolitan.com/index.htm. Matt, the hostel manager, is very friendly. He even drove for us on our way to Subang airport to get to Penang, Malaysia. You can also contact him in his facebook account if you have inquiries. http://www.facebook.com/hostelcosmopolitan?sk=wall

My cousin along Jalan Haji Hussein

What to do and see in Kuala Lumpur? Visit the Petronas Tower..one of the world's tallest buildings.






Shop at the adjacent mall..Suria KLCC. Shoes are on sale at Vincci (VNC) costing around RM22-25 (PhP280-325)..Talk about panic buying..hahahaha! 



Dined at Mcdo..meals cost RM10 (PhP130) but servings are huge..:)


Go visit also Batu Temple. From Hostel Cosmopolitan, we rode a cab costing us RM10 (Php130)



Luckily during our visit, it was also the time that the Hindus and Tamils are holding their annual Thaipusam Festival.


Thaipusam Festival is the feast for the son of Shiva, Lord Subramaniam. All those who participated in this festival carry offerings towards the temple. They wish to ask for future favor, fulfill a vow for the granted wish  and repent for past sins.
