Day 74 – Kuala Lumpur

December 27, 2025

We went to Kuala Lumpur; that’s about enough said about that!!

Our plans for Malaysia were to spend a few days in KL before heading up to George Town (Penang) for the New Year. However, when we got to KL and our accommodation was awful and KL felt really sketchy. We’ve done a lot of travel, and a lot before we came on this trip, but this just didn’t feel good. We had similar experiences in Beijing, Day 7 – OMG Beijing Arrival, but this one just made us feel like getting the hell out of there.

So we did!!

After 24 hours we got on a plane and headed back to Thailand which has been our go to through this trip. By the end of the trip we will have been to four different spots in Thailand; and one in Malaysia.

Will we ever go back to Malaysia, who knows!! We’ve seen the Petronas Towers, so at least we earned a badge.

After a rather dissappointing and very brief stop in Kuala Lumpur, we escaped to Jomtien which is just south of Pattaya and much less chaotic. We’ve spent above budget on some decent accommodation after the horrors of KL and can now unpack and relax for a few days. We picked up a motorbike to run...

Day 5 – Macau Portugese Tart

Any travel guide worth its salt will tell you the must-have snack to try in Macau is the Portuguese Tart. According to Google, Hong Kong’s egg tarts (daan tat) feature a stronger “eggy” flavor, a more substantial shortbread and a floral shape. In contrast, Macau’s beloved custard tarts (pou tat) are a combination of flaky...

After the busy and chaotic few nights in Hanoi, we decided to chill out in Tam Coc. Tam Coc is a small town in the Ninh Binh Province close to the actual city of Ninh Binh but far quieter. We stopped at a lovely little hotel located down a side street off the main through...

Day 3 – Tian Tan Buddha

After the news we received yesterday we thought today would be a good day to visit a buddha, and the largest buddha in Hong Kong. It is quite a journey to get there, via train and cable car and then nearly 300 steps up to the buddha itself. We were quite amazed at how busy...

Taipei Main Station

Taipei Main Station is massive, a cavernous labyrinth of interconnecting tunnels and areas. There are very large markets in this subterranean area, at least four stations and I wouldn’t like to guess the area of this station underground. It has quite a few levels so you seemed to be either going up or down a...
