  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 8: Jalan Petaling’s Night Time Street Fair

    During the day, Jalan Petaling is already a busy place. It’s packed with tourists and locals as well as people trying to make sales on everything from PS3s to bootleg DVDs. As you walk down the street, you’ll hear “hey sir!” and “hey boss!” and “cheap deal here!” coming at you from every angle. At…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 7: Petronas Twin Towers

    If you’re going to Kuala Lumpur, you of course have to go see the Petronas Twin Towers.  Missing them would be like going to New York City and not stopping by the Statue of Liberty.  If you’ve never been there, it’s just something you have to see!  Also, the Petronas Twin Towers were featured in…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 6: Day 1

    Our first day in Kuala Lumpur was really more like a half-day, if that.  We arrived at the hotel around 3 pm and after checking-in and getting our belongings situated, we went out to look for food.  We hadn’t had anything to eat since before our flight, and that was a pretty light breakfast/lunch. On…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 5: Hotel Chinatown 2 Review

    Hotel Chinatown 2 is located on Jalan Petaling in the Chinatown area of Kuala Lumpur.  It’s a little tricky to find it, because there is also a Chinatown Hotel Inn or something like that a few doors down.  Also, the only visible sign is the one high up on the building, that you can see…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 4: Finding Our Hotel

    If you remember from the first post, we booked a place at Hotel Chinatown 2, on Jalan Petaling. One of the things that appealed to us about the place is that it’s near the center of town, close to a train station, and there are lots of shops around it, or so we had read.…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 3: Funny Signs at KL’s Airport

    If you ask me, I’ll tell you that you should: That way you can have a: You won’t be disappointed. It’s: Yes, all of these signs are in Kuala Lumpur’s Airport, within sight of each other.  Maybe I just have an odd sense of humor, but I got a kick out of them!

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 2: Our Flight

    Like I said before, we wound up leaving the house late.  We had planned on being out the door by 9 am, but there were so many last minute things to check over, pack, and rearrange.  We had to put away most of the things in the room, into drawers or the closets, and the…

  • 3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 1: Preparations

    (Someone didn’t want to be left behind!) Getting ready for this trip was a lot easier than most of the other trips we’ve taken, probably because it was short and relatively inexpensive.  We only spent two nights in Kuala Lumpur, so the packing was easy.  We didn’t even pack check-in bags.  We just had two…

  • How Real Are Friends On Social Networks?

    I remember asking myself this question a few times, but not any time recently. When the internet first became popular, and I was delving into the world of AOL chat rooms, the people on the other end of the screen names popping up on my monitor seemed… well, impersonal.  It was always like talking to…
