The visit to Malaysia was almost improvised at the last moment, almost by accident. But the memories of this trip are vivid and above all beautiful, for he saw a city with many faces, full of charm and contrasts I like few places in the world. I will try to give a schematic some tips for visiting the capital, Kuala Lumpur. We flew with Malaysian Airlines flight from Rome. Spectacular flight of 11 hours with staff in the magnificent service, very modern dc food truck fiesta aircraft with individual screens in economy class. Possibility to choose films in Italian, two passes with the cart, drinks also alcoholic ... so the trip is really long but the company is really worth the cost of the ticket. Kuala Lumpur Airport Not really close to town. It is almost 80 km to get to town and there are several options: a train in 3 minutes takes you to the city center or taxis. The cost of the train is the same as that of the taxi (7.5 for a train ticket and 15 for a taxi ride) and then it is cheaper than taxi. If you do not want to proceed with a tractive tightened with the taxi driver stop at the taxi stand at the exit of international flights the airport and you can buy a voucher to present to the driver. The voicher is a prepaid and then you'll have no problem of negotiation. Keep in mind that go into the city has a cost and return to the airport we will have another, higher. Who knows why ... Taxi Taxis are everywhere and although it is advertised everywhere the introduction of the famous "taxi meter" or the meter NOBODY uses them. You can be certain. Many are taxis with neon advertising the presence of the meter but no one will turn on, even under blackmail! The Lonely but also some sites Malaysians said they did not get into the taxi without dc food truck fiesta the meter was turned on immediately and call another. Well, it will call a dozen, but always with the same answer, "Where do you want to go" followed by a negotiation for the price. There is no way. Then for a run in the city, the price varies depending dc food truck fiesta on time of day. If there is a lot of traffic, especially in the afternoon or when it rains, then the price goes up and some taxi drivers may refuse the ride if you decide to go in particularly chaotic. Also do a couple of blocks in the late afternoon it could cause a shift of more than 50 minutes then evaluated always good if you take a taxi or the subway. dc food truck fiesta The price: in the morning we spent inside the Riggit 7 (1 euro = 5 riggit) while during peak hours to get to 10-15 riggit. Always treat, do not be afraid to leave the taxi because behind dc food truck fiesta him there will surely be another. Careful dc food truck fiesta because there are some taxis that have the word "limousine" and cost much more than the others with "taxi meter". Back to the airport we paid 110 riggit, 35 riggit more came. Public transport Metro and skytrain are very efficient and they work every day from 6 to 24. The skytrain was our favorite. It is a kind of walking on a monorail train and throughout the city center. Convenient, efficient dc food truck fiesta and cost effective. You pay the ticket and the fare is more or less 2 riggit (I say more or less because the price varies depending on the route). Arrived at the ticket you have to say where you want to go and they will tell you the price of the ticket. Do not throw it because you need to pass the turnstiles once off. The wagons are pretty clean and a little crowded during peak hours especially around 17. Air Conditioning And 'the real sore point of the city. The air conditioning will kill you in the true sense of the word. In all the places closed there is air conditioning to 18 degrees while outside there are 35 with 80% humidity! The shock is terrible because every time you enter more and sweaty like animals dc food truck fiesta and go out cold like penguins. This even on the subway or on the skytrain is really difficult to endure the thermal shock. Tip: Bring a giacchettino even cotton. Always. You will see that not regret esservelo brought.
Sunday, September 6, 2009. Second part Climate Hot and humid. So hot and so humid. Rain only towards the evening but on 4 days it rained a couple of times, not so strong. Even when it rains the temperature never drops and the coolness is only in the time of rain, after it becomes even more sultry because of the heat that radiates the asphalt. Hotel not go down too low with the
