  1. Hmm, just tried to take this train today and it was over an hour late before we gave up and decided to do something else. Maybe tomorrow morning we can try again by taxi.

  2. I am thinking of visiting KL Feb.10-12. I arrive from Europe in Singapore 9thfeb. & would travel 10th to KL. Would it be cutting things fine & taking into consideration jetlag 🙂 by going to KL for a couple of days? I leave Singapore late on the 13/02 so need to be back in time. Would taking the bus be reasonable time-wise?

    I am interested in the Batu Caves & other signts in KL city (Petronatowers etc.) due to time limitations. I am interested in good street markets (clothes, nic-naks)& temples to see.

    Does anyone have any recommendations? i would like tostay in a neat, modest hotel. Hostels wont cut it after 25hrs travel! Any help appreciated.
