Malaysian Holiday with MAS Part Two (KUC - KL - SIN) - Epic

[tiernan1338]

Wow, no wonder why you can write about the experience that much. I guess it has this funny feeling when you return to your country of birth? A country that seems relevant to you but yet it is also quite remote?

You hit the nail on the head. Having visited Malaysia on numerous occassions in the past, this last visit had the most impact of all (reassesing my life, yup @ 25, as I'm just recovering from a bout of the big 'C'). I was overwhelmed with feelings of distant alienation yet familiarity. Much like a hot fudge sundae; cold soft embrace of the vanilla ice cream and the perfectly matched hot fudge sauce...

Incidentally, Japan is a country on my top 5 "have to visit" list. Hoping to pop over to Tokyo mid to late 2005, just for a short look-see. A country and culture which has fascinated for many years, as I am a fan of anime.

Hi Eddie,

I really like Thailand too. Flying QF, I do try to schedule my flights so as to coincide with transits in BKK or SIN. Will definitely have to make myway to Bangkok for an extended weekend soon. haha, even though I just got back from holidays, I seriously feel like I'm in need of another vacation.

Too many places to visit, not enough time.

I never been to Malaysia, but I like Thailand better. Hopefully, go for one day or short vacation in KUL.

Hi pbateson,

You really should try to make it to Malaysia. It's a brilliant country. Many do say that the people are less friendly and the country's bland and sterile in comparison. In many respects they are correct, however, there's an understated beauty and courtesy bout Malaysians which reflect the diverse cultures and subtle friendliness as a result of the blending.

Do try to visit KUL. No-one's too far away these days.

To be honest, BKK is better than KUL. More places to visit & many cheap stuffs to buy. But i think you should visit KUL too sometime. As a Hong Konger, everything in KUL is very cheap for you .

Tourists go to kuching and kota kinabalu the best is to select malaysia airlines. Air Asia always give junkfood (i guess). My trip is a 5 hour trip to PER i woke up about 5.10 in the morning i watch tv a little and then take a bath. The airport taxi arrived early then i expected. My house is 28 km away from the airport. Our flight is 9.40am we arrived very early at the airport. After all that waiting we go to McDonald to have a breakfast. WAIT WAIT WAIT. We arrived at the gate i can see a Cathay Pacific 773 and a Malaysia Airlines 747 resting at the nearest gate i can even see MAS 772 734 744 and internatioal airliners. Children aboard first i'm 19 years old my 6 year old and eight year old aboard the plane first. After all kids aboard the plane i can see 3 kids sitting at the window seats i sit in the middle which is ailse we took of very fast climbing and turning was awsome!!. After 5 hours of flying we arrive in perth i can see SIA 777 and a MAS A330 QANTAS 767. After we got on a huge mini bus (only us were aboard) after the short trip we arrive at our apartment we go to our room i go to the toilet to do my buiness (i never been on to a aircraft lavetory before) i pee. 3 hours of holding it's a record!!!. After all that talking up there perth is a GREAT CITY. I wanna go again!

Nice Report!

Yeah true, Malaysia has a lot to offer especially if compared to Singapore. Singapore is compact and mostly concrete architectures surrounds the island city. In Malaysia, you can see true diversity in the cultures. From the kampung(village) to the city to the beaches and its nature parks. Food and shopping is awesome when you are the adventurous type. All Chinese,Indian and Malay food are great. You also have the other types of cultural food of different races and its amazing really. Thailand is also as grear or not better. But Singapore is nothing really. So much of hype about it, but nothing really extraordinary. Only the organized road and transport sytems and etc. By the way for those who are not aware, Malaysia has nice food but the best and tastiest of all are the hawker food(of coz you need to judge the cleanliness of it).
