Malaysia/KL Guide (Thread 10)

[phurple0515]

^ Tune Hotel in KL is medyo downtown area ha, at madilim sa gabi.  Niloloko kasi ako ng mga officemates ko wag magpagabi don nong ang client namin malapit sa Tune Hotel.  Madami daw kasi mga transgenders at madilim nga kasi.  Though malapit ang monorail at LRT don.  Pero baka makakuha ka na ng halos same price around Bukit Bintang area sis.  Pag sa KLIA naman sis, ang layo, hehe.  Also, from my friend, ang Tune hotel, any additional amenities may bayad, including wifi, etc.

May new thread na pala

Anyway, is it true na bawal ang nakashorts sa putrajaya? May nagsabi lang sakin. What if di naman kami papasok sa mosque or any religious bldgs, bawal pa din ba?

[girlracer41]

^Hindi naman sis, pag papasok ka lang sa mga mosque nila bawal shorts, though if gusto mo naman pumasok tapos naka-shorts ka may pinaparent sila na parang shawl na pang-cover ng legs Better if magdala ka nalang din para di ka na magbabayad

[marie05]

thanks sis girlracer41. nagworry lang ako kasi pag sa travel hindi talaga ako nagdadala ng pants para light baggage lang. sa putrajaya tour pa naman ako excited tapos plan ko lang nakashorts ako. kala ko talaga bawal shorts sa putrajaya.

anyway, plan naman early kami sa putrajaya para hindi mainit. may available taxi na ba going to putrajaya ng mga 7am? tia

[girlracer41]

^Pashmina nalang dalhin mo sis para light lang sa baggage

Anyway, yung sa taxi parang may mga napansin naman ako sa labas as early as 7am, pero di ko sure if going to Putrajaya yun.

Enjoy your trip!

Nakaka amaze ang ganda ng Putrajaya! sobrang nakaka-inggit ang linis and ang mga public office buildings nila. Hay, bakit walang ganun dito satin! 


^^
Wala naman akong nabalitaan na bawal ang shorts dun, kami naman naka skirts above the knee pero hindi naman kami nasita. sa Pink Mosque naman may pinapahiram na cape, walang bayad.

I recommend sis na pumunta ka sa hapon to sunset. ang ganda ng mga lighted buildings at night! nag avail kami coupon taxi RM75 for 2 hours kaso kulang pa kaya ng add pa kami another hour for RM40, dinaldal kasi kami maige nung mga guides sa Pink Mosque.

[batangcute]

mura lang po bang ang taxi from Airport to Sky Hotel? Saka sa mga nakapagbook na po sa Sky Hotel, nagooffer din po ba sila ng tours? TIA!

[phurple0515]

^ baka nasa RM90 yon sis pero depende pa yan kung anong oras ka magtataxi.  taxis here have an additional  50%  sa metered fare from 12am to 6am.  you may check with Sky if they have, usually meron naman yon.

[batangcute]

thanks po phurple0515, ang dating naman po namin is 6PM.

Di po kasi nagrereply yung Sky Hotel on email and FB message e.

[Newlife]

hi can anyone suggest place to stay in KL? hotel?

[marie05]

Thanks mga sisses sa mga sumagot sa questions ko about KL.

Mapayapa naman travel namin. Nakakainis lang kasi from 2:10pm flight, nagboard kami 5:45pm na tapos 7pm na nakatake off ang plane. Nawala ang 1 night sa gala namin. Binigyan na lang kami ng Cebu Pac ng noodles and water 

We stayed at My Hotel @KL Sentral kasi malapit lang sa KL Sentral station and ayaw ng kasama ko ng nightlife kaya we did not choose Bukit Bintang. Malinis and tama lang ang laki ng room for a budget hotel. May free bottled water and coffee/ sugar/ creamer everyday. Ok din ang room service.

I was amazed sa architectural and building designs sa KL esp sa Putrajaya. Hindi nakakasawa titigan ang Petronas tower esp at night. Disappointed lang ako sa Genting kasi nga ginagawa pa outdoor theme park nila pero sulit naman na ang bus+skyway transfer for only RM10.30 one way.

Yung mga kasama ko nagshopping ng beryl's haha. Ako naman coffee and milk tea mga binili.

I enjoyed KL and sana next time makapunta na ko sa Malaca.

[phurple0515]

^ good na nagenjoy ka sis mas mag-eenjoy ka siguro pag sale season dito, hehe

[marie05]

anong month ba ang sale season sis? haha

[phurple0515]

^ they have 2 major sales here.  One is during mid year, 2 mos. (between June to early Sept) then another is the Year end sale (mid November to Jan 1 or 2).  Me mga mini sales naman sila in between like those sales during F1, or chinese new year, etc. 

[Newlife]

Hi sis,
Im going there on oct 2, so walang sale?

[phurple0515]

wala pa sis..pero usually me mga sale pa rin naman sila pero not as grand as the 2 major sales

[leihin]

Thanks for answering my questions sis phurple0515.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our Malaysia trip. We went to Cameron Highlands, KL, Petaling Jaya and Putrajaya. We skipped Batu Caves kasi napuyat kami sa Skybar at Traders Hotel haha.

Cameron Highlands
Recommendations:
Accommodation - Snooze Hotel. Clean, strategic location, COZY, accommodating staff plus may isang pinay dun (if I remember correctly, si Ate Julie)
Food - Steamboat (we ate at Cameron Organic Produce). There are also a lot of restaurants that serve English food
Must visit -  Boh Tea Plantation (Beautiful place! But don't buy their products here, it's cheaper at grocery stores than at the Boh tea store)
Must experience - Brinchang night market which happens every Friday and Saturday. It's like banchetto pero mas maayos. Items being commonly sold here are chocolate dipped strawberries, dried fruits, mga nakastick na food, noodles, rice meals, fruit jams, fresh fruits and veggies, honey products, strawberry shaped pillows. There are also stalls selling clothes and accessories for the cold weather (was able to score stuff na pangHong Kong lol)

You can book your tours at the hotel but we decided to hire a taxi for more flexibility, halos same lang din magagastos, mas tipid pa if you're 3 in a group. Standard rate of taxi is RM25 per hour. Overnight lang kami dito, we left at 7:30am the next day. I was so sad to leave! Madami kami hindi napuntahan na places. I will go back here! Cameron Highlands is where you should go if you want to feel refreshed.

[phurple0515]

^ tagal ko na dito di pa ko nakakapunta Cameron, hahaha....nice review sis...isisingit ko siya in one of my busy weekends next year

[mhin]

Mga Sis, I backread and someone says na ok sa Sky hotel...how about po sa Sky Express Hotel...Ok din po ba dito? TIA.

[phurple0515]

^ ok naman siya sis pero right infront of the highway siya.  mas ok ang location ng Sky Hotel.  Pwede naman siya lakarin pero mas malapit kasi ang Sky hotel sa mga places to be sa Bukit Bintang.
