From Manila to Singapore, we took another flight towards Malaysia via Tiger Airways. They say Tiger Airways are known for their delayed flights. Well, that's at least what I've researched through blogs. But before our expected flight, Tiger Airways was able to update us earlier of our changed flight schedules. So it just depends on a person's initiative to browse through his flight details in his/ her email.
Another myth I've searched before the flight in Malaysia is that people should dress conservatively. This I believe is true for even tourists were dressed down in Malaysia. No bikinis in beaches or pools and no showing-off too much skin especially when you are visiting the temples.
They say that Petaling Street is dangerous. Our hotel was exactly located in Petaling Street and it gave us easy access to everywhere we went. The deals and the street food were really good! There were a few shopping malls but getting to Petaling Street is a sure way to save money. There are a lot of tourists whom you could meet along the way. It makes you feel right at home.
They say also that Malaysia is not good for women. But in our three days there nothing bad happened. They say taxis are a no-no especially when you're alone. But we even met Katharina, a lone traveler who said she just felt right at home. We even hailed a moving taxi at 5:00 a.m. that morning to take our flight. Even the MRT was easy to find. Even the Batu Caves can be reached easily through the KLCC MRT.
The Petronas Towers were amazing architectural forms. Although we got only to the 10 RM sky bridge, the view was amazing. If you want a closer look at the top, for 30 RM you can reach the more than 300 plus floors. Don't worry about getting there because the elevator goes really fast. Of course you have to wait in line before 8 a.m. together with other tourists so that you can really get in. As the day goes, the longer the lines can be. The gate opens at around 9:30 a.m.
The Menara Tower is also amazing, do check it out also. Have yourself enjoy the KL Hop-on and Hop-off ride. You can easily access the scenic spots for a day just by riding the bus. It's Malaysia's answer to making themselves the most visited country in South East Asia.
Just a few reminders before going there, be sure to be alert and vigilant as every traveler should be.
