KUALA LUMPUR 2ND

After a long travelling break, then we got the opportunity to have it back....going to Kuala Lumpur!! Yes...
This time, I went there together with office mates; 14 persons, we were all in one Directorate.

We went there a year ago, on August 2016. We only spent 2 days there. We had 9 am flight in the morning.

At 12 pm Kuala Lumpur time, we arrived safely. We picked up by the mini bus we've rented from one of the travel agent in Jakarta. The picked up time delayed for 10 minutes. The driver said, it was stuck and queued at the arrival gate. So, okay,,,it wasn't really matter.

To save time, we had lunch in the minibus on the way to our first destination. Our first destination is Istana Negara Malaysia. Well, we only took pictures from outside the gate. We were there for 15 minutes only. There were soldiers riding horse guarded the gate. Beautiful horse!



After 15 minutes in Istana Negara Malaysia, we went to the center of Kuala Lumpur area; Tugu Negara, Kuala Lumpur tower, Up Side Down House-Kuala Lumpur, Chocolate Kingdom, and finally to Petronas Twin Tower. We took pictures only from outside those building, we didn't buy tickets to enter inside those places. Btw, I've been here, the same places, 5 years ago...but for the sake of 2 days escape from daily projects, I said yes for this 2nd trip for me to KL...ahahaha...

After taking pictures and selfies, we went to the hotel to check-in. We've booked budget hotel in Bukit Bintang area. Why did we choose Bukit Bintang area for our stay? Because this area was a very famous for travelers, and the rate was good for many budget hotels.We stayed for 1 night in Al Jafs Hotel. It was a cheap hotel and standard facilities, but the hotel was clean, and so far, it was very OK for a budget hotel. The rate already complete with a humble breakfast.

At night, we had a free time schedule. Everybody freed to go everywhere they like. I went to Pasar Seni and Wang Mall only. I bought MILO and some chocolates made in Malaysia. I will inform you that Malaysia good for its chocolate, so you must buy chocolate here and also MILO.

On the second day, we went to Batu Caves, and Putra Jaya. We had a little crash with the group in Batu Caves. I remembered it so clearly. I and 2 of my friends went upstairs to 600's of
