April 3rd - 11th Kuala Lumpur, Pinang, Melacca, Genting Highlands



"Home of South East Asia's Economic Twin Icons"

Home of the famous Pretronas Twin Towers, KL is fascinating. With its beautiful highways & beautiful rest areas filled with fresh fruits & a downtown filled with gorgeous sky scrapers, famous brands, and excellent vacation destinations with just a short drive. I was fortunate enough to have my aunt & uncle welcome me into their homes and take me to almost all of the major attractions. I even had to extend my stay for three days because there was so much to see.

Georgetown Pinang, a tourist hot spot was alive and filled the streets at night as my uncle took me there on the second day I arrived in KL. I got to eat my "Toad & Alligator!"and I also tried the delicious Laksa at the foot of the temple. Malacca a tiny city filled with lots of western history and Genting Highlands the only legalized gambling facility in Malaysia was also a big draw to both locals from Singapore & Malaysia.

Besides the commercialized attractions, there were a lot of religious monuments like the famous Batu Caves. Did you know that Malaysia has a leaning tower? Got to see that on the way to Pinang and finally of course, it was F1 weekend while I was there, "Too bad our schedule didn't quite match up, maybe next time... :)"
