KL trip Dec '08

Stayed at Citrus hotel (4-star); got 2 FREE companions (cockroaches) in the bathroom, broken TV, mal-function safe-box.
Staff response time was fast and efficient; changed a TV and fixed the safe-box. And are friendly towards my enquiries. Overall experience: barely acceptable (6/10).

Didn't go up Twin Towers as it's foggy... Same per my last trip =( Probably will board it on my next trip (est April '09)

KTM station; whereby I got the return ticket from Nice... You get personalized TV, people serving you refreshments and announcements. Pretty good service.

Freaking gigantic shopping mall, bet you girls will love Times Square.
M'sia sure sells clothings of exotic taste

Mountain tortoise taking MRT; saving on teksi fares. Cabbies are determined to make mince-meat outta us as if we're some "carrot head"...

Chi Chiong Gai; a place where piracy thrives! Got there by foot without planning. Lols!
Bargaining here is a must, normally I'd slash prices they offered by 50- 60%. If they are reluctant, just say thanks and head forward, there's a whole stretch of shops selling identical stuffs. Similar to Thailand shopping strategy =D
