Kuala Lumpur
Malasia has always inspired dreams to know and Kuala Lampur was a surprise, as it has a first world mix with Asia that we imagine.
A punishing city, it has the tradition of Asia with the modernity of the best cities in the world.
It has a very strong influence from the Chinese and also the best brands in the world.
A true shopper’s paradise, you can find everything.
After visiting the city, I went to the famous Batu Cave, a temple in a cave inside a mountain.
Batu caves
It is one of the most important Hindu temples outside India. There are 5 caves within a mountain.
The temple cave is dedicated to Lord Murugan, god of war.
At the entrance, at the foot of the 272-step staircase there is a statue of Lord Murugan in full length measuring 42 meters in height.
Next to the temple cave is the Dark Cave, where an “exploration” tour takes place in the dark. Interesting but very silly ride.
Inside the Temple cave there are many statues and altars dedicated to various gods.
(Penang) George Town
After leaving Kuala Lumpur I took a train and then a boat to the island of Penang (George Town).
Visiting the city and went to the National Park with several trails and quieter beaches.
I was supposed to go back to the mainland and take a train to Thailand, but I found a way to go by boat, passing through some islands, so I decided to go to Langkawi.
Langkawi
I took a boat to Langkawi, the trip lasts approximately 3 hours.
The locals use it as a island transportation.
It’s a tax-free zone, so a lot of people go there to buy things, which are cheaper than in Malaysia.
I made some trips to some islands Pulau Singa Besar, Pulau Beras Basah and Pulau Dayang Bunting and of course the “famous” stop to see the hunting eagles.
Now it is time to go to Thailand.
