Short Story on the 3rd day in Kuala Lumpur

Finally on the third day in Kuala Lumpur, I saw the sky was blue, after little rain..

On the third day in KL, i travelled to Merdeka Square. At first, i thought Merdeka Square is a mall in the middle of goverment building area. Then i was expecting to do some shopping there. But when i got there, i realized that Merdeka Square or Dataran Merdeka is a venue where annual National day parade held on Independent Day. I guess its like Istana Merdeka in Jakarta (Indonesia) where flag ceremony is anually held. 

There are many beautiful building around Merdeka Square. If you like to see architecture, its a right place to visit. 

After Merdeka Square, I wanted to go to Little India or China Town. I asked people around, apparently Little India is quite far from where i was, but China Town is just around. I tried to find China Town and I arrived in a street where there are many Indian sellers. It was just like Little India but it was not, it was at Masjid India street. 

I continued my walk to find China Town and arrived on Central Market. In Central Market there are so many stuffs you can use as souvenir or oleh-oleh.

After some shopping in Central Market, I was tired of walking and decided to take taxi to Berjaya Time Square. I planned to watch Wolverine 3D in Golden Screen Cinema (so damn big cinema just like in Singapore).

On the way to cinema from inside the taxi I passed the China Town street which i have tried to find so long time, but i was too tired so,, maybe next time :p

Dream Beach in Lembongan Island (again)

Mushroom Bay

   Yes, yes, yes Lembongan again..

It’s such a good place to run away from the crowd of Kuta.. Besides, this island is the closest island to reach from Bali, and of course the cheapest (if you depart from Sanur).

In this occasion, I went there to spend my short holiday and to host my Norwegian friends since they wanted to go to the island.

As my previous post, this time I also departed from Sanur taking fast boat to Mushroom Bay Lembongan. Well, the price for the ticket for local increases 10k more which is now 60k rupiah. Ticket for my friends I got good price that was cheaper than the price list on the brochures.

Hut with hammock 

We went there in the end of June. At that time, there were many tourists visiting the island. Mola-Mola House where I stayed last time was full-booked; villa behind Mola-Mola where I recommended staying was also full-booked. Fortunately, my friend, Kadek who owns Mola-Mola House helped us to find place to stay. 

After strolling on the beach, we arrived in Mushroom Beach Bungallows and we decided to stay there for a night. There were two kind of building; hut and villa. Hut room is cheaper than villa room because of the difference of the size and the facility between those two kinds of room. I love hut room since it has hammock where I can relax on it. 

During my stay in Lembongan, I visited the places that I have visited before (since I was hosting the guys). The new place I visited is Dream Beach. I’m not sure why it is called Dream Beach, but I dreamed about this beach the night before I went to this beach. Weird. :D

I admit that this beach has beautiful view with white sand and blue water and clear blue sky at that time, the weather was fire hot. Love it. It is not far from Mushroom Bay. How to reach the beach? I recommend you to rent a bike to get there because its quite far to reach by walking. When you get there, there are two ways to go down to the beach. 

First, you go inside a restaurant and down the stair to the beach. Second, you can go down the stair outside the restaurant but it is ‘a hanging stair’ that you need to jump down. Its about 2 meters.

Enjoy the pictures and the beach when you get there …
