Let's go shopping MegaMall

Megamall is not that far from KLCC. You just take a bus or train.
But, around Megamall there is always a traffic jam. So, I think, taking KTM is the best choice. The station name is MidValley. And lots of people take off that station.
The bridge connectes between KTM station and Megamall.



MegaMall is really big as the name of mega. There is hundred of shops and cinema, exhibition center and so on.
Lots of fair helds in exhibition center such as education fair, wedding fair or IT fair and so on. That is a good chance to compare products and information what you want.
They are running shutter bus from bangsar area to the mall.
And there is another shopping mall just next to MegaMallcalled Garden.
Therefore, that place is best place for shopping.
One thing I like there, because of a pet shop. I can't see many pet shop in malaysia. The pet shop has some animals as well like dogs, cats, and birds, rabbits etc..
Many people visit it to look around animals they are playing or sleeping...
It's so cute. :)
If you have a time, you visit there~ It is on the top floor on MegaMall near the exhibition center.

Going to the movies with friends(TGV KLCC)

If you are a movie fan, you will never stop watching movies even in overseas country.
Malaysia has cinemas in the Malls such as Mega Mall, Suria, or Pavillion etc...
Today, I'll tell the story about TGV that is in KLCC Surial Mall.
It is the second floor and on weekends, holiday or school holiday you can see the many people are waiting for buying a tickets.
So if you have a time, you'd better go to the morning and weekdays. :D
I felt cold when I watched a film in the cinema in malaysia as a aircondition is very strong. So, you're required to bring the jacket.
I heard that I can book a movies ticket on the Internet. But you know that I'm foreginer, so I don't know which site is good or bad.
Anyway,
I think, this place is good to date and hanging around friends. There is a food corner near the cinema. and there is a beautiful park and you can see the foundation is playing outside cinema. Isn't it the nice place?

Playing golf in Royal Selangor Golf Club

Royal Selangor Club is one of the oldeset golf club in Malaysia.
It established in 1884. Wow~ that has a long history.
The club was built by the British and it was used to a social club for upper class.
This club is very famous and popular among golfers. It existed on a hundred golf course list in the world.
Moreover the club is located in KL. that is very convience area to move another place.
Also golfers can see the KL Twin Tower during the playing glof. If someone with you who do not want to play golf then they can go out and see KL easily.
You can go to KLCC at night as well such as having dinner and drinking.



Most of course is designed on the flatland and there is many trees and small lakes.
Many tree protectes a traffic nose. It makes that golfers concentrated on playing golf.
This beautiful golf club was unfortunately subjected to flood many times since Malaysia is a one of the tropical area.
Anyway it is a still good place to improve of golf skill.

Story of a National Monument (Tugu Negara)

Many nations has a sorrowful story. Malaysia also has a story during World War II and the Malayan Emergency.
A National Monument is a Tugu Negara in malay and was built in 1966.
It is designed by Felix de Weldo who is a famous sculptor from Austria.
It is a historical bronze sculpture that commemorates the soldiers. They passed away struggle for freedom in Malaysia.
The height of bronze sculpture is 15.54 meter and there are seven soldiers.
A solder is holding a Malaysia flag to the sky. And a sculpture reveals leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage, and sacrifice.
Every year on the Heroes Day that is on 31 July, many politician and people pay repects to them.
I saw some of local family was spending a their day. They seemed that talked the story about how they are courageous people to their child.

When you are travelling other country, sometimes you might face difficulties.
Or sometimes, your guide book you have brought does not have accurte informations.
Or sometimes, you really needs a map or public transportation information or popular restarurant information as a local person knows.
If you faces that time, you have to go to the MTC. Which is stand for malaysia tourism center where you can get any information of malaysia.
Then your troubles will be gone~~



The building is not that far from KLCC Suria Mall. It is located in around between KLCC and KL Tower. You might walk past there. so look carefully~~
The building was built in 1935 and the exterior of the building is a unique with beautiful garden.
And also there is a restaurant, a souvenir shop and a museum.
I give you one tip, if you apply to use internet at information dest. Then you can use internet as free of charge for 20minutes under cool aircondition.
It is very nice~~

Studying science at Planetarium Negara (part-2)

Let's go to inside a National Planetarium Negara. What is in there??
An observatory is in the National Planetarium Negara and you ride an elevator on to top.
And then there is something big~~
There is a 14 inch telescope to make observations of all space In the observatory.
It was very interesting.
Many students group had been already there to study something. They seemed to look serious.
This planetarium has a space theater and shows the space.
And there is also space science exhibit. so visitors can see a spaceman/spacewoman and a rocket.





I heard that there is an egnine , it is a Arianne IV space engine. That is special because it is one of the engine that was used to launch MEASAT 1 Malaysia's first staelite.
You can take some pictures with them. I saw many visitors enjoyed taking pictures with them.

Studying science at Planetarium Negara (part-1)

The national planetarium is called Planetarium Negara in Malay and established on 7 Febuary 1994 by the former prime minister.
It is located in on top of KL Lake Garden. If you want to visit there, you should take by hiring taxis, boarding trains or buses.
This place is good for students education to learn about space or star.
However, if you desire to visit there, you need to get over the stairs.:)
There is many staris waiting for me. I heard that is just small overbridge but it is not~~~ I guess it is good for my diet. :D



Anyway.. you walk up along the stair then finally, you can see a blue domed structure. It reminde me sky. As soon as I saw blue dome , I felt cool. It was very nice and pretty!!



The enterence fee is one ringgit.
Some chidern are interesting in space and star~. when I was young, my parenets told me story about star. It was a just story, but it is a happy memory of my life.
I recommend that parents should go there with their childern and show them about space. In the future, maybe your children would be a best science in the world. who knows? At that time they would be thanksful to their parents.

Going to KLCC Aquaria with childern

Many country has a aquarium and childern like to see many fishes. That is a good experience for childern learning about sea and fishes naturally.
Malaysia also has a aquarium, that is called aquaria, under the KLCC exhibition center. So it is easy to get there with family.
The path of underground is connected bwteen Suria and aquaria. So you go to basement in Suria then you can see the KFC near the KFC there is a sign to go aquaria. It is like a tunnel. you just follow that sign then you can arrive the aquaria.



The aquaria starts at 11am to 8pm, but admission is allowed until 7pm.
You can see the many fishes , sharks and reptiles such as a lizard in aquaria.
Most of childern seems to look very interesting and curious.
One of most interesting fish is red lionfish that looks very elegance. I wish that I want to meet red lionfish in the ocean. Sea around malaysia has estremly diverse fishes.





Aquaria also made like a tunnel so you feel like walking inside ocean. Especially, children love that path. Sometime you can see a scene that a diver feeds fishes.

Enjoy at the Time Square (part -2)

A guide book for foreginers traveling malaysia strongly says that goes to theme park at Time Square. The theme park is called Cosmos World.
Many people go to Time Square because of theme park. It is a indoor place.
Weather is like Malaysia is better to play inside since there are cool aircondition, and no need to worry about heavy rain.
The ride price is low in weekday(Monday to Friday). Of course weekends, public holiday and school holiday are higher than weekends. I think that this rule is the same all over the country.:D



Staff makes the ticket like a bracelet. so you will never lost it. The ticket allows you to take all ride in theme park.



There is various type of rides. So you can selete what you want. One of the scare thing is train ride. That make my heart palpitates.
The train ride makes me feeling nervous when the ride go down quickly. And people can see people screamed even outside of theme park as well.
I can see many local family and childern are enjoying there, it makes me also happier just to see that family.

Enjoy at the Time Square (part-1)

Time Square is not only America but also Malaysia. Time Square in KL is not street as America. It is a building Where is include hotel, shopping mall and theme park.
The building is consist of two with light brown colour.
I heard that building is owned by Berjaya group that is one of big company in Malaysia.
Transportation is convience to get there. Most common and easy way is taking Monorail. Take off at Imbi station. The bridge is connected between Timesquare and Monorail. so, do not worry about rain or hot weather. :)



The building is highter than other in that area. Many shop and restarurant are in.
Moreover there is a cinema so you can watch the malaysia movie as well.
And you can see many local family and young people hang around.
Sometime event from company is held the place for an advertising company's products.

Staying in KL during National holiday

Malaysia ,as you know, is islam country. One of the national holiday in malaysia is called Hari Raya.
I heard that during the Hari Raya muslim people do not eat food for the day.
So I have something curious. If some national sports players play the game during the Ramadhan, should they do the starvation at that time?
Because I'm so new about Islam relition and culture so my imagine can go anywhere at this moment.
And one of my friedns told me this rule.
There are some exception case here.
Especially children, youngsters, pregnent women, and elders cannot keep the starvation and I think it's so reasonable..
And if some people have special case like taking long trip, they can get discharge from their responsibilities and they will supplement later.
Yes. Here they are.
I think that there are consideration in any religion.
GDO bless us anytime and anywhere so give generisity to people who are in serious troubles.
This one month starvation period give muslim people perseverance and patience and it makes them more improved and developed.
After Ramadhan, finally Hari Raya will come.
This festival and celevration can keep around one month.
I know it's just 2~3days in Malaysia but most company and department of government give about 1 week to them.
It's like huge party in here.
During the Ramadhan period, especially in the afternoon, the city is inactive and the market is slack.
But now Hari Raya is started, everything is different, you know what?, you should join this celevtration party.



And at the first day, usually men put on the Baju Melayu, and women have on the Baju Kurung which are traditional cloths in Malaysia.
And they go to the Mosque to pray.
I just heard that this day and Hari Ray Haji can allow women to enter to mosque to pray.
I'm so feeling sorry for women only to go there two times a year.
Because I guess they also want to go there often.
But rule is the rule~~
I just hope that..... cheer up women~~

And there is the open house.
Every muslim people open their house to poors..
They give and offer some food and enjoy their generisity for around 3 days.
But some open the house for about 1 month.

All right.
I think it's enough to explain Ramadhan and Hari Raya.
If you are in this period, please don't be surprised at this unique culture.
And I know there are some special Ramadhan sale or beffet for Ramadhan.
So we can enjoy this exotic culture in here.
And try this special Ramadhan food~~

station at KL sentral

If you have a chance to take train or subway.
KL sentral station is core of trains. Because most of trains are in that station.
so you can easily change another train, even Monorail.
There are always a large crowd. so sometime I need to place to take a breath.
Fortunately, KL sentral the place has many shops and restaurant.
One of restaurant is that huge cafe chain 'Secret Recipe'.
So I visited there and grab some bites~~
I already knew this cafe is Malaysian company~~
And the cake which is sold here is really awesome~~



I love the interior here
very clean and simple with vivid color~~
In addition, the cups and glasses are great~~



If you check this menu, you can feel like here is so neat and cool~~
Especially, there is a set menu which are so reasonable price and can enjoy nice meal~~ But most of all, the cake is the best one~~
I saw many people drop by this cafe to purchase the cake~~
Each one is very creamy and soft..
I really recomman cheese cakes here~~
My mouth is watering now :)



Anyway, I was surprised at this cafe is Malaysian brand.
And I guess they have been trying to find special and outstanding taste which most people can enjoy without any resistance~~
I hope this cafe will be international and global more and more~~

Buy electronic stuff in Lowyat plaza

The Lowyat is located near Bukit Bintang. If you want to go there, you should take Monorail and take off at Imbi station. Usually, many people take off that station, so you might be notice that there are something special.
You are required to walk because Lowyat plaze is not the very close at Imbi station. It is near the Time Square.



Lowyat Plaza is the best place where you go to buy a electronic or computer stuff or mobile and so on. You can compare the price then buy the resonable price.
There is also many people, so sometimes you feel very tired and even cannot see the product carefully. Therfore if you need to purchase something, you'd better to go a weekday.
Most of shop is small but some of shops are large such as VAIO etc.
After you finish shopping or feel tired or thirst, then you go to food court. There are many shops selling various food. You can choose what you want.
