The Running Green Man
I’ve done quite a bit of traveling and I’m used to seeing things that are a bit different from what I’m accustomed to, but this one caught me by surprise. In New York City the green lights for pedestrians have the word “WALK” in capital letters. In Singapore the green pedestrian light is an image…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Hostel Cosmopolitan Review
Hostel Cosmopolitan is located near the Chow Kit monorail station. It’s a bit hard to find when you first get to Chow Kit, so make sure you take a map with you! Also, don’t be put off by the outside of the building. It’s a bit rough looking, but the interior is very clean and…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Day 3
The last day of our trip was still an eventful one. But, before I get into that I’d like to share this with you: The previous day, after we got back from the Batu Caves and waited out the rain, we went downstairs and walked to the monorail station. On our way we thought we…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Manga Exposition at Sungai Wang
On our second day in Kuala Lumpur we stopped by Bukit Bintang. While exploring the area we looked around in a mall called Sungai Wang. I was excited to see that there was a manga exposition set up in the events area. I’ve had an interest in manga and anime for quite a few years,…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Day 2
Our second day in Kuala Lumpur was very fun, but also very tiring. Our first stop of the day was the Batu Caves. The Batu Caves are a Hindu temple that has been in use since the 1890s and is still a major tourist attraction today. It is also still used for worship, especially during…

The short of it is that a local “clan”, the Ampatuans, has been running the area warlord style for years. A local…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Chow Kit Market
Just down the street from the guest house we’re staying in is Chow Kit Market. We were actually under the impression that it was a huge hawker style area where we could get good local food for a good price. Instead, it turned out to be a sprawling, mostly covered wet market. It was definitely…

Kuala Lumpur Trip: Day 1
Going to Kuala Lumpur isn’t too big a deal when it comes to the actual travel part. By the time the plane gets leveled off and the steward or stewardess hands out the immigration cards to fill out, you have about five minutes before the pilot will alert the cabin crew to prepare for landing.…

Enjoying a Vacation!
Starting today and going through Tuesday my wife and I will be taking a short vacation in Kuala Lumpur. It’s nice to get away sometimes right? We found ourselves a nice guest house with some great amenities and we’re looking forward to checking out the Batu Caves, hopefully tomorrow. Anyhow, I didn’t take the time…

Hawker Centers in Singapore
Hawker centers in Singapore are basically food courts. I’ve had a few people argue with me that a hawker center indoors is actually a food court, but they have the same types of stalls and selections of food so I don’t see the point in differentiating the two. Coming from the US I initially considered…
