Everyone knows one day life willstop. Why do we live? For the fun! It is one of the important reasons why Ilove to travel; there is nothing special, just because traveling is interesting!Your so-called "end" of lots of things actually doesn't matter. We have been already on the road.
The National Day of every year,prices jumping up each minute is much crazier than people who go out. On aflight website, you never know what will happen the next second...Well, I justwant to say, the time we share together is pretty more expensive! I wish all friends, lovers, won't be alone at good time.
Sri Lankais a country I always want to go, in themoment and the website I’ve seen too many nice pictures of it...So I decided torealize the dream this National Holiday. Due to its excellent geographicallocation, we can drop inMalaysia,Singapore,which not only avoided the expensive flight price; the trip also became morecolorful. In the foreign country, even just walking in the street and doingnothing, you can feel wonderful...I can't express what we had seen and heard ortake photos...... Once you take the first step, you will find that the realworld bigger than the imaginary world!
01/Kuala Lumpur_2015.09.30-2015.10.02
You cannot have your cake and eatit. We chose to spend a little time on the way but save money.
We booked all the air tickets andtrain tickets in Qunar, due to the system default, train tickets were bookedusing passport information. Lining up for a lot time in the train station, wealmost didn't catch up with the train. Pinyin name on passport were seen asEnglish name and not allowed by the railway station staff...Kindly reminder:train tickets must be use id information!
Due to the time, the price and avariety of reasons, we booked tickets of Xiamen Airlines.Xiamenairlines also let me understand thetrue meaning of the word "stop".
Stopping: if yourbooking information is written in the stopping inXiamen, it will stay in the airport when theplane passing. A group of guests get off the airplane and a batch of new guestsget on, with a set of new crew. It is less than an hour, and easy to accept.Ticket price is cheaper.
Xiamenairlines have featured beverages while other airlines don’t have. This isa character. If the price and time are alright in future I will still supportXiamenairlines. Due tothe recent weather, the flight was delayed 3 hours. We arrived inKuala Lumpurin theevening. All we can do was going to bed.
Ringgit ofMalaysiacannot circulate inChina, should be exchanged inMalaysiaairport. If not big change, all of the money can be exchanged at the airport.Youdon't have to too care about exchange rates, no more back and forth.
All rooms’reservations in this trip were booked in Airbnb.
Total taxi fare (from the airportto the hotel) MYR: 118 (RMB 181).The room is very big, particularly the livingroom. On the roof there is the swimming pool, which is great; it was a pitythat we didn’t have time to use it. With completed infrastructure, we can cookand wash clothes there. Actually we spent only one day staying inKuala Lumpur. Afterarriving at the hotel, we went to the supermarket to buy something and clearedup simply, then went to sleep.Malaysiafruit is cheap and very fresh. You try to eat as much as possible. The landlordis a nice person. He answered all my problems. In the hotel, you will neverfind the feeling of "my friend" in a foreign country.
In the morning, a beautiful daybegan. If you want to feel a city, stop sitting on the bus and led to manyplaces by driver, and step on the street on your own, choose the places youreally want to go. Same toBeijing, the subwayis the best choice for travel; additionally inKuala Lumpurthere is a kind of national buscalled the "city bus”, which is free. We should check the route inadvance, while it doesn't matter if you can’t understand it because manyMalaysian can speak Chinese. You can also ask the way with English and picturesif you don’t meet people speaking Chinese.We had do nothing of strategy in advance, because time was too short...But we still perfectly visited the well-knownPetronas Twin Towers (KLCC), the national Mosque Natlonal Mosque, independencesquare Dataran Merdeka, police museum KTM Berhad, Central Market
The landlord's house is near tothe Subway station (PWTC) for walking. By Subway (metro is called LRT inKuala Lumpur, not Subway)we arrived at the twin towers (KLCC) first. A good friend named Mengmeng knewthat I was inKuala Lumpurthrough Moments, while she was here too, which let me surprised. She went tothe twin towers offering us a nice meal, which is the best one inKuala Lumpur. It wasquite wonderful! Can you imagine meeting a lovely friend in a foreign country!
PetronasTwinTowers(KLCC)
It must be nice scenic overlooksat the top of the twin towers. We caught up with a "foggy"Kuala Lumpur, so therewas no "top". We shopped in the mall, had meals, and took a few photosoutside. Then we took a taxi to the national mosque. If time rich, taking publictransport is okay.
Natlonal Mosque
National mosque is very big,tourists must wear that dress (dress is free loan), or use scarf to wrap aroundthe head and your clothes, without exposing skin. Man shouldn’t wear shorts,relatively easier. I think as well put on the standard Muslim clothes, feelthe. But faith should have enough respect for others.
Out of the nationalmosque, on the left side, there is a music/instruments museum, on the rightthere is the independence square Dataran Merdeka. Not far there are the policemuseum KTM Berhad and Central Market...
Dataran Merdeka
The weather was too bad, affectingthe appearance of independence square...
KTM Berhad
Great building, which we never
expected, is the police station, you can ramble in the yard and the first
floor, the police officeupstairs, you can't go), of course, you canalso take a picture with policemen. (Foreigners faces are too small...collapsing) Opposite the police station there is old train Station inKuala Lumpur(KualaRailway Station). On the network it has a very beautiful name, do youknow?" The most beautiful railway station in the world" it is said. Becausetime is short, we just looked outside
(Kuala LumpurRailway Station)
Coming out of the police stationafter visit, we decided to go to independence square, opposite to the CentralMarket, very near, walking is no problem. We don't know the way at thebeginning, so we asked for Malaysian people. Answers almost are the same,"go straight ahead and turn left," Central Market lies between roads,but we didn't know. All the way of good intention may be concerns even saidlandmark buildings we don't know, it's all new. So they will be unified"go straight ahead and turn left," said. We met a coach, which is thetour group fromChina.Meeting some Chinese we were excited, because everybody said the Chinese, wefelt more comfortable. Asking a Chinese boy preparing for going on a bus, hetold us that Central Market is not in the side, we need to take a taxi, on theother side of the city. Mind is a mess at that time; he and the local peoplesaid the route. My friend and I phone has no electricity shutdown, want to relyon navigation is absolutely no hope...After said thank you, we have asked alocal, he pointed out to us that is across the street .A road we finally found!Just now the Chinese boys I already forgot his appearance, just remember a"accent" inHong Kong, I wouldrather believe his accent is fake, and referring to the wrong way is he reallydon't know. I still want to remind everyone: go out take my phone goodelectrical and charging treasure, ask only ask the locals.
Central Market
Central Market mainly sells somemore distinctive local goods, on the second floor there are lots of cheap anddelicious local food. Friend liked a local shop selling jade jewelry .Finallyshe bought a "stone" bracelet, I bought a pair of black pearlearrings, kind-hearted owner also gave me a black pearl necklace...The totalprice is MYR120 (about RMB 182).
City bus
Coming out from the CentralMarket it was late; we took a free city bus and then transferred LRT returningto the shelter. We encountered with kindMalaysiagrandma who successfullystudied Chinese along the way, then she led the way for us and reminded us toget off .We were happy to chat with her. A handsome foreigner man offered hisseat to us...All of the small things, gathered in our mind and becamehappiness...
Armin brief departure arriving at home and the landlord, and send him gifts we prepared inChinainadvance. Thanks to the landlord Armin provide to us a temporary shelter at areasonable price and to help us book the car to the airport in the nextmorning.
Gifts for landlords
We chose different styles. But always doomed fate, every time we are
random, but in fact every one fits in well received at that time the landlord. Only
we think good landlord can get, of course. If we think that is bad to the
landlord, we prefer to bring gifts to return home. Gift has a price, the
blessing is priceless, we only wish to worthy of blessing
InKuala Lumpur, we have a little regrets. Thereare a lot of fun and worth visiting places, while we can't reach. This time thejourney is a trip toSri Lanka,Kuala LumpurandSingapore. If you choose thisroute, it is suggested that in every place you should stay at least two days,the ideal time is more than 2 days...Even the existing sites, you can also putthe stretched, such as the twin towers. Our time is too limited, and caught upwith the worst air a few days of the year inMalaysia, even on the twin towers,nothing else can we see...Regret is actually good, or what kind of reason do Ihave to come to you? Goodbye,Kuala
Lumpur, I think we will meet again.
