^ naku sis, di lang anaps (tawag namin sa mga Indians dito) ang malakas mangontrata, kahit chekwa...

[ashey]

pasagot po.. ..

1) * as far as I know, yes, full payment pa din.. just check with hotel.. last time we arrived 12 midnight na.. full payment pa rin sa first night though its a different hotel
* Note: the KL Intl Airport is medyo malayo sa KL City itself... You can take the train from KLIA to KL Sentral then from there take a taxi na lang since you have your 3yo daughter with you

sis how many hours kaya from LCCT to Sky Hotel, Bukit?

[phurple0515]

^ if by bus to KL sentral, mga 1 hr to 1.5 hrs depende sa traffic, then from KL sentral to Sky Hotel mga 15-20 mins.  of course, if you take a cab from LCCT na, mga 1 hr lang siguro.

[ashey]

^so allot pala kami 2 hours for that.. thanks phurple0515!

magkano kaya budget na dapat namin iallot? 2 adults, 1 3yo kid. SkyHotel 2 nights kami and looks like HopOnHopOff City tour lang kami plus shopping of course!

[phurple0515]

that i cannot say, hahaha.  food, siguro mga RM10-20/pax for 1 meal.  depende kasi kung san kayo kakain, are you always going to take cab around or commute, etc. 

[nebpia]

hello po.  magkano po bang exchange rate ng peso to RM? 

also, ilang hours po ba travel time sg to kl? ano po bang pasyalan sa Malaysia pinakamalapit sa SG? 

Thanks

hmmm...siguro mga 30k plus good for two since bata naman yung isa eh.

sis phurple0515, help naman ano maganda route for KL City Tour after namin sa Batu Caves  So this is around 9AM till 4PM. Places we want to see are Petronas and China Town for cheap souvenirs. And saan outlet store ng VNC? Are the hawker stores in Jalan Alor (tama ba?) open during lunch time?

In case manageable ba mag-HOHO, if Oct 26 (Fri/Holiday) kami asa KL?

Thanks 

[ashey]

^shocks medyo magastos pala kase may side trip pa kami sa SG. =)

[phurple0515]

masyadong malaki na yong 30k for me....kaya naman yon kahit half lang as long as di kayo magastos.

^^ sis phleigh, unahin niyo na lang batu caves in the morning then, from batu caves, kl sentral kayo magstart ng HOHO.  so just take the KTM komuter from KL Sentral to batu caves then ganon din pabalik. puntahan niyo na lang sa KL Sentral yong bus stop ng HOHO.  Manageable naman pag holiday dito.

Actually, walang outlet store ang Vincci.  Pero if you are in Bukit Bintang, madaming sale sa Sungai wang plaza outlet at meron na rin along Bukit Bintang, sa malapit sa Pavilion.

Some hawker store are open in Jalan Alor at lunch time, esp. pag Friday.

[pheigh]

^thanks sis phurple0515 Hopefully hindi ma-traffic para ma-maximize namin HOHO, would plan out nalang siguro which stops kami baba and alin ang hindi para madami mapuntahan. On every HOHO bus stop we can buy tickets naman no? Yep sis, we will be arriving kasi from SG via bus so BTS kami baba right then around 6am pag open ng train unahin na namin batu caves.

Sis yung 24 hours na Mcdo sa mismong BTS ba sya? Dun nalang kami stay while waiting for the train. In case ba from BTS mag-cab na kami going to KL Sentral, may open ba dun na mga 24 hours na fastfood or starbucks and how much abutin ng taxi?

Thanks sis ha

[phurple0515]

^ sis from TBS (tasik selatan), sasakay pa kayo ng LRT to KL sentral.  Then from KL sentral to Batu Caves naman via KTM ha.  Malayo ang TBS sa mismong city, hehe.  malayo to so baka abutin kayo ng Rm20 basta wag na lang kayong sasakay ng wala pang 6 para di kayo magkaron ng additional 50% charge sa fare.

sa KL sentral, open 24 hrs ang mc do doon ata kasi pag galing kami LCCT ng mga 3am, bukas pa siya e.

[pheigh]

sis phurple0515, we'll take the Starmart Bus from SG so baba kami ng Berjaya Times Square right? Malayo pa ba from Berjaya Times Square ang KL Sentral?

[phurple0515]

^ oo sis sa Time Square ang babaan..  From Berjaya, you can take the monorail to KL sentral, so 5 stations siya including Imbi.

[supladitang cute]

^ MURA po ba ang hard drive sa malaysia?

[phurple0515]

^ yup, super mura. 

depende sa brand din sis, pero yong kakabili ko lang na hardisk ko, 1TB nasa 2,500 pesos lang siguro.  i believe nasa 5thou above dyan? siguro ranging from less than 3k to 4k dito ang 1tb.

[supladitang cute]

^Sis, san makakabili nyan? Mura din ba ang cellphones like galaxy tabs and samsung s3? Super thanks sis!

[phurple0515]

^ sa Low Yat plaza sis, sa may Bukit Bintang.  When my tito came here, don siya nag-shopping galore kasi if you are a gadget freak, don ka magsasawa

[huit]

^shocks medyo magastos pala kase may side trip pa kami sa SG. =)

Yung 30k na good for 3 person is kasama na shopping dun ha. hehe. Kami mga ganun budget namin eh. 15k each. 3 kame na adults. Kasama ko na isa tig 15k kami. Mga Chicken Rice lang food namin lagi.

Pati meals sa airport at mga terminal fee at taxes from Manila at yung papunta and pabalik from airport.

[makeupgeek]

will stay in malaysia for a month for business travel..magkano po kaya ang average cost of living for a day doon? Mas mahal po ba sa Shah Alam Selangor kesa sa KL ang mga bilihin? And may idea po ba kayo kung saan mura magshop ng mga branded cosmetics like Guerlain,Chanel,YSL? and skincare like Kiehls? Thanks po sa sasagot
