Travel Info I,m off to Kuala Lumpur shortly, any advice? Travel Tips eagle, i just can't wait too. i hope he's ok. i got plenty of bullets to shoot at. oh my god, pls give me some patience, just can't wait any longer.. Others yep dont gamble with chinese gangsters take the aeroplane. Stay at home Dont flash your cash otherwise enjoy its a great place! You can pay 300RM to a tour company to go to this modern city 25km south of KL or you can easily do it privately at a fraction of the cost. Get yourself to Sentral Stesen and purchase your ticket to Putrajaya (9.90RM single fare) from the first ticket counter on the right after you enter. This is the KLIA Transit Link. (Do not confuse this with the KLIA Expres which goes to the International Airport without stopping.) Your train stops only once before you alight at Putrajaya. The train is brilliantly modern, speedy and as smooth as silk. When you arrive, follow the signs to the taxi rank which is below the train line and on the other side. There you will find a counter where cashiers quote you for the deal you want. You pay and are led to a waiting taxi which takes you around Putrajaya with some commentary and all questions answered. It is difficult to convey the absolute luxury of this city, a leader in design and architecture throughout the world. It opened in 1995. You can see the mosque, Prime Minister's Office, Residence and of couse the offices of many other Ministers. There are outstanding parks, gardens and bridges. The taxis cost 30RM per hour and an hour while the minimum is probably just about right. Obviously, you could have your taxi return you after an hour or two to the train station for the ride back to KL. A good idea, though, is to add on a visit to Mines Shopping Centre. This added 23RM to the hourly cost giving a total of 53RM. The centre is built on a disused mine which has filled with water creating an enormous lake. It is somewhat reminiscent of Venice. After you have walked around the shops and enjoyed the airconditioning, you board a boat on the ground floor and for 2RM, you are taken to the first stop which is beside the Serdang railway station. From here a single ticket to KL costs 1.60RM. So all up, two people can do the trip for approximately 80RM. A visit to Putrajay is a must if you are in Kuala Lumpur and so easy to do by yourself. Sunway Shopping Centre You can get yourself quite easily to this Egyptian themed shopping centre by taking the KTM train from Central to Subang Jaya (1.60RM). At Subang Jaya station, there is a shuttle bus which takes you to the shopping centre for 80 sens in about ten minutes. It's a good idea to note the route number of the bus for the return trip. The drop off and pick up point is right outside the centre's main entrance. Inside, there is a great variety of shops and eating outlets. On the ground floor, there is an ice skating rink and from McDonalds you have a panoramic view of the wave pools etc of the theme park. Well worth a morning or afternoon! Pray & Have a nice flight! Enjoy,darling! (- -,) |
