Malaysia:Trully Asia (Jetsetter travels)

        “To live life to the fullest and to see the world in its  best”

                                                       -Jetsetter travel in Malysia

         

         This is always my mantra in life. Not just for travel or wherever I go to and do. Sometimes I just had that certain feeling, not to runaway with life, but to go away to the pile of routine the world has stucked up on you and throw at you. I always find travelling and contemplating as a means to refresh my soul. I always feel different whenever I came back and when you travel you are never the same again. It’s like you shed a thousand skin in every places you go.

          Anyways, Im here to share to you after 2 long years since I wrote back due to adulting stages and problems and depressions (hahahah) about my recent travel to Malaysia.

 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is a 4 hour flight from The Philippines. You may either ride on a plane via Iloilo, Cebu or Bacolod. I usually stayed at the city specifically in Selangor. My place which where I stayed is just in front of Citta Mall, where you can find different races of people as well as there food stalls and stuffs. 

The first famous spot that I went into Malaysia is the Petronas Twin Towers in Bandar. This is the second tallest twin tower that was left including one in New York. Inside also are different stalls for shopping spree and luxury. I went for a drink with my family at their 12th floor also known as The Canopy by Tiger Bay London Bar & Lounge, where you could see the Twin tower's view from afar.




















The following day we went to Melaka, a province in Malaysia where you can take the bus or train and you could already go to Singapore or Thailand. 




Sungai, Melaka is one of my favorite places in Malaysia. I love how people preserve their heritage and culture. I also felt the tradition and their culture in their place and how they value them. Blending with the locals and the food is one of the highlights too :). Melaka is a small city with different tourist attractions where you can ride the boat and have a tour on their city. But, be careful there are some alligators on the water too :). You can also tour around Melaka by walking or biking. 




You can also find here the biggest christian church here in Malaysia eventhough majority of their people's origin are muslim's















We took the boat ride, where you can see old houses, already now surrounded by new and taller buildings as well.




 It was also mentioned during the tour, that there are houses called as "Houses with no names", by the phrase itself, people have no proper identity that are living in there. I cant imagine my life not being able to know who am I or where I'm from. Even sometimes you feel lost in life, yeah?. But there houses seem to look good and presentable. Alongside the offshore where bars and stalls also, for people who are walking around Melaka.



Jonker Street is also part of Melaka where you can find different food resto's, sidewalk vendors and affordable gift and souvenirs when you get home.  This is one of my fave part. Mangoes in Malaysia are absolutely mouthwatering!!.






They love spicy foods on everything they eat. Each part you walk in the morning gets crowded when it gets to evening , as lots and lots of people are selling their products at night.



People cant even walk on the streets anymore.  As you go along the streets you bump to different people with different places and its good to be sometimes transparent and bold knowing that your away from the poring eyes of other people. And that sometimes being alone with people you do'nt know makes you know more about yourself, help you to see life on a bigger scale rather than being judged.



And that sometimes the moment that your are lost is the moment where your found.

I thank God for the opportunity to widen my experiences and learnings in life always. So whenever you have the opportunity to always visit and explore, dont hesitate to travel the world and become so much more :) .
