Weather in KL (1st story)

Hot Hot Hot!!
I searched weather of Malaysia on the Internet.
The average temperature is around 27℃.
My country has four season - spring, summer, fall, winter
So that temperature is like I've never experienced before.

Look at this sky in KL.


Nice Weather

And, what I felt is that ,from April to October, you should turn on the airconditioner all day long.
Of course, I think, you're concerned about the fee, right?
But if you fix the temperature around 27℃, it will be okay~~
And then how about November to March?
Absoultely, it still hot but sometimes you can feel a little bit chiily in the morning and evening.


Great Weather

I understand why most malaysian are addicted to the airconditioner.
Because it so hot to death so everyone in here always is turning on that.
Here is the example~~
When I take a class, one of lecturers is always turning on that strongly even though some malaysian classmates also feel chilly.
Can you imaging how I endure in there?
I put on the winter jacket~~
It means if you're from the countries like me, you should prepare the jacket or jumper or something.


Look at this sky~~

Sometimes, it rains, it pours~~
If you find the cloud on the picture above, you should wait inside the building.
It's a downpour, you know?
You can say that you have an umbrella.
I'm sure that it's the same as no umbrella~~

Here is the tip~~
If you are on the sidewalk when it's raining, you should be careful the cars, buses or something because they don't care about you so you can have some experiences like taking a shower~~
Or watch out some puddles on the road~~

Whenever I meet this rain, I feel it clean me and can have this mind which makes me fresh and active~~
You want to get this feeling?
Just come here~~

Lake Garden in KL (2nd story)

Let's go to the Bird Park now~~
As I posted the 1st story a few days ago, you can find some special park around the Lake Garden here~~
Bird Park is one of them~~
This park has the world's largest walk-in free flight aviary.
So at this moment, we can see this fantastic place~~
if it's a little bit of cooler~~ hahaha!!


KL Bird Park

The Entrance : RM 39

This is the largest bird park over the world and the 90 percent of the birds in here live in Malaysia. isn't it surprised?? I don't think so, because there are so many jungle in Malaysia. It means that we can see various birds anywhere in Malaysia. It's so nice~~

And there is the gift shop and kiosk in here so we can get some relax if we are tired due to the strong sunlight~~


The Ticket Taxi station

It's so great~~ I found the taxi station here with ticket..
You know what? Foreigner are sometimes worried about the taxi..
Because there are so many rip-off..
But if we find ticket taxi station, we can be relieved..


The Butterfly Park

Wow, another park in here..
You can find here if you go down a little bit from the Bird Park.
Wanna see the butterflies?
Go inside~~


The Hibiscus Garden

The Hibiscus flower

Hibiscus Garden has many varieties of hibiscus. The locals called it "Bunga Raya".
The Entrance fee is only RM 1.
We can enjoy a variety of hibiscus in here.
Look at the pictures above.
Each kind of hibiscus is so nice and beautiful.

This place helps lead me to relaxing and calming.
If you visit here when the weather is not sunny, I think you can feel much more excited and interested because you can walk more freely without exhausting your body..
I really hope that you can get some remarkable impression from here..
And next time, I'll show much nicer place for you.

Lake Garden in KL (1st story)

There are some unique theme park per each country.
Like central park in New York..

Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia has also the outstanding park called Lake Garden.
It is also known as Taman Tasik Perdana.(probable malaysian language, right?)

-on the way to the lake garden, isn't it nice?-

It provides a massive area for citizens who need to get some rest from the routine and work of their life.
The location is next to the National Mosque so you can find it easily.
But here is the tip for you~~
Most people go there in the evening 'cause it's usually so hot like a oven in the afternoon.
If you enjoy the hot temperature, it doesn't matter to go there during the mid-day.


-nice shape, nice star-

I heard that this park was officially opened on May 1, 1975 by the second Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Haji Abdul Razak Hussein.
The park has an area of approximately 92 hectares.(so huge~~)


-some places to get a drink-

And there are some special park inside the lake garden.

Orchid Garden has a varieties of 800 species of orchids.
Hibiscus Garden has many varieties of hibiscus. The locals called it "Bunga Raya".
KL Butterfly Park has more than 6,000 butterflies with over 120 species.
KL Bird Park has the world's largest walk-in free flight aviary.
Boathouse has facility for an hour or so of family boating on the lake.
Deer Park has many spotted deer from Holland. Feeding is allowed.


-nice place to take some pictures-

Next time, I'll show some more pictures for you
And now I hope you can go one more nice place~~

The Perhentian Island Backpacking (2nd story) - transportation

I backpacked there on July last year.
It was the busiet time to take a trip and at that time I just got one week break.
I know backpacking to the Perhentian Island seems impossible without any reservation for accommodation and transfortation.
But you know, no pain and no gain :)
In addition, my other half is always with me.

How about this?
you should join this trip now, huh?

I was so stupid, do you know why?, I went to the terminal on Friday.
Friday is busy all the time even if it's not holiday season.
I used KTM train to go to the putra bus terminal.
When I arrived there, it was around 6 p.m.
Even though I'm unfamiliar with Malaysia, I already noticed there would be no tickets there.
So I just thought that I would go there the next day or went back to the train station.

Just after I got off the train, I could find the hentian putra bus terminal.
A lot of buses were on the both side the road. That's why I found there easily.

Okay. Let's go inside the terminal.
Please, the ticket's left there, please again~~
As soon as I enter the terminal, he came to me so I asked about the ticket for kuala besut. And he said "No" but there was a ticket to go to jerteh and it cost RM45.
I was suspicious of the rip-off so I asked the counter about the ticket and he told me that they were sold out already.
So I didn't have any option at that time and it was finally time to go there~~

jerteh is my destination and cost is RM45.
The departure time is 9:00 p.m.
They said that it would take for around 9hours.
So I could arrived around 6 a.m. the next day.
I thought if I arrived 6 a.m., I could go to kuala besut at 7 a.m. and I could get on the first boat to go to the Perhentian Island.
So I got 3 hours free time:)
I went to the mall located next to the terminal and went downstairs to grab a bite.

I ate dinner at the restraunt on the picture above.

It's very simple bento box, huh?
It's around RM15~20 with one ice lemon tea.

According to my research, it's really tough to get water on the Perhentian Island so I bought that and some cookie.
As I've experienced, it's very priceless to bring some food especially when we backpack on the island which has few stores or place to eat.
Don't forget this.
Okay..
There was no seat number so I had to hurry up to take a nice seat.
And the bus was not quite good and departed around 10 p.m. (oh my god)
Anyway I fell a sleep.
Next posting.
I'll show more information to you~~

The Perhentian Island Backpacking (1st story)

This article is about my first backpacking in Malaysia~~
And you know what, backpacking is so attractive and challegeable
but this time is a little tough~~ 'cause i'm getting old :)
Actually, i used the bus to go there (night bus - i slept in the bus)
and my accomodation is not good.
So i couldn't get some enough relax
but this island is the most beautiful all over the world~~
When i step into the sea, just 5 steps, i could see various kinds of fish and coral~~
Can you imagine that??
i already have some experience of fantastic islands like Cocoroco in Philippine
but here is the better place than Philippine~~
However, i decide that i really need 'relax trip' not like youngsters.

Why i'm writing this down at this moment.
This island... you should go there if you are in Malaysia~~
You can find the perfect sea and beach..
You can be snorkeling any point in there.
That's because every point in there is just perfect..

Okay~~
Now we start~~
We should go to the east coast in summer, you know why?
In winter, most of island can't open the accomodation 'cause this is the monsoon season.
If you go here in summer, you can see the beautiful beach and see so you can choose the direction according to the season (summer-east, winter-west)

Look at this picture~~

If you see this map(above), you can see the 'south china sea' and that coast is the east side and the Perhentian Island is located between kuala terengganu and kota bharu.

This picture(above) is showing the just Terengganu area and you can find the k.besut which is actually small town. And the island is just down that town on the picture.
If you wanna go another beautiful island 'Redang', you can go to the 'Merang'(a little more down) and you can get on the boat to enter that island.

This picture(above) is about the Perhentian Island map.
If you get on the boat in the k.besut town, you can finally go there.
The left island is called just small and right is big~~
And can you see the number 9. D'Lagoon~~
There it is~~ That place is my destination~~

Okay~~
I hope that you can start to backpack in Malaysia, right?
Next time, I'll show some more details and tips for u guys~~
Please, just don't stay at home... go somewhere in Malaysia.
We are foreigners~~ :)

Here is "Putrajaya" (1st story)

This posting is about Putrajaya.
I've seached some information on the Internet and from the books.
And I've been there before taking some pictures and signtseeing.
Now I come to know Putrajaya is the most important place and has the crucial rules.
So I want to introduce this place as the view of one of international students.

Putrajaya is Malaysia's third and latest Federal Territory.
And It is located around 25km from Kuala Lumpur and 20km from KLIA.
I heard that 'putra' is from the first malaysia minister's name 'Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman PutraAlHaj' and 'jaya' means the success.
According to the final master plan, this city will have more development and progressive infrastructure.

Putrajaya is planned as the intelligent and garden city.
When they started to build this place, they've prepared how significant the environment is in this area so now everybody can enjoy the beautiful part, lake and fresh air~~

The pictures are showing the 'Perdana Putra' which houses the Malaysian Prime Minister office complex.
That's so nice building, isn't it?

And this building on the pictures above is the 'Putra Mosque' which is Putrajaya's most spectacular landmark and one of the most modern mosques in the world.
I love that pattern, that's so wonderful~~

Really a nice and modern birdge.

This area is so calm and relaxed.
You can breathe fresh air and your eyes are so enjoyable due to the fantastic designed city with nice surroundings~~
Next time, I'll study the history of putrajaya and introduce that~~
Have a good day~~
