    Petrosains, The Discovery Centre Kuala Lumpur

    Petrosains Kuala Lumpur has been given the high rating on TripAdvisor’s reviews and on Google Reviews. It is one of the top attractions in Kuala Lumpur. I have been to KL many times but each time had given this place a miss. So I decided to plan a half a day trip to visit this highly recommended attraction from global wanderers as well as the locals, to see what the fuss is about. First, the location. Petrosains is located within the Petronas KLCC, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. So it is very easy to find the place by public transport or taxi. In addition, KLCC has lots of retail…

    Hotel review : St Giles Wembley Penang

    Located on the busy street of Magazine Road, St Giles Wembley Penang is easily the tallest building on that road (if you do not count The Komtar shopping mall), dwarfing the rest of the buildings surrounding it. To it’s opposite is another hotel, which is much shorter as compared with The Wembley. We drove to this hotel by following the Google Maps. It was easy to find as Magazine Road was a busy street and it was located opposite of The Komtar Shopping Mall and 1st Avenue shopping mall. We parked our car at level 2 and proceeded to the reception at ground floor. There was no queue when we…
