My trip to kuala lumpur(2005.11.1-11.5)

Just back from the exhausting trip to kuala lumpur.

"Exhausting" doesn't mean no fun. In fact, there are mixed feeling about this trip, which includes excitement, suprise and nerve-wracking stuff. However, above all, "no experience is a bad experience unless you gain nothing from it."

Still, we conclude that there are two things in this trip that really bothered us the most-mosquito and daily dining.

The first two days at Avilion Dickson Port are really a disaster. Piggy and I were constantly harassed by the vicious mosquitoes during our sleep. What the worst is piggy can't fall asleep because of the sea waving extremely hard in the middle of night, which that didn't bother me at all. But one thing I would like to point out is that "I really hate the chilly wind blowing when taking a shower, " especially when I was not feeling very well. What supposes to be the most wonderful thing (taking a shower) suddenly became a nightmare.

Except our free buffet breakfast, we got to figure out what to eat at lunch and dinner. It seemed we didn't have "too" much choice at the resort. 80 RM meal for each is really way too expensive. After gulping a two-day buffet, we had had enough of those "look-like-all-the-same" meals. Gee...we never like eating buffet in Taiwan, how come we would become the buffet-lover all of a sudden in this place. The reason why we tried our best to eat a lot is that we didn't have much food or snacks left in our room, unless we were crazy enough to go miles away for some garbage food.

The next thing in our mind was we made a quick decision to get the hell out of this place. Without the help of computer, the telephone with no doubt had become our savior. I made a few calls from our hotel to ask some info about the room rate and other details. And it seemed to us "Marriott hotel" is our best choice for its convenient location and inexpensive charge-287.5 RM per night without breakfast, which sounded like a good deal at the moment. So we checked out immediately the next day and took a long journey (about one hour and a half) to kuala lumpur's JW Marriott hotel, which taxi fare cost us 140 RM.


To my surprise, JW Marriott was way beyond my expectation, which is better than The Regent Hotel, in my opioion. But what I was most impressive was the smiling ,cheelful and courteous receptionist who was attentive to helped us check in at the front desk. I can strongly sense his heartwarming welcome with respectful attitude. He really made my day!
