Kuala Lumpur Central Market, Malaysia

By
If you have been reading this blog you know how crazy I am about markets. We have enjoyed the market scene in Malaysia tremendously, especially in the Cameron Highlands but that is another separate entry that I will touch on later. In Kuala Lumpur there are two main (big) markets and these are the Petaling Street Market (basically Chinatown) and KL Central Market.

Central Market
The Centre for Malaysian Culture, Heritage, Art & Craft
Website: Central Market Kuala Lumpur


The market was found in 1888 by a certain Lap Ah Loy, a Chinese Kapitan and the area used to be an open wet market.

There are 3 parts of the Central Market:

1) The Main Central Market Building
2) The Kasturi Walk – This is the outdoor covered pedestrianized lane
3) Annexe Gallery reserved for art galleries and exhibition

To know how to get here by bus please check the website, otherwise, take a cab, they are everywhere and cheap in KL but make sure you take a metered cab that is not waiting on the line or somewhere around a corner because they will surely charge you for a ridiculous tourist price. I need to write a blog entry about our taxi experiences here some time.

Ready to see the scenes in the Central Market? Come along with me!


This is the Kasturi Walk.


Deep fried fish snacks.


Inside the main Central Market building are stalls designed in traditional Malaysian houses.


At some point I lost my mom (and dad) in the market and after going around the building I found her in this stall.


There are a few outdoor cafes here as well.


Cool Blog drink stand? Peace bro =)


Apart from white flowers that I adore, I am intrigued with blue flowers. Of course these roses were colour mutated.

Balkan Roadtrip - Bosnia Herzegovina: Visit to Medjugorje / Medugorje

By

My friend Bubbles, whom I was travelling with in the Balkans, had a request that we stop over at Medjugorje. We got lucky because Medjugorje was on the way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is our next stop. Half an hour into our driving, we reached Medjugorje. Parking was not easy to find, but we struck lucky and found a space not too far away from the Saint James Church. Medjugorje or Medugorje is a world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site due to the Our Lady of Medjugorje, who claimed to have seen a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to 6 Bosnian children at  Križevac Hill .

Walking Discoveries and Map of Porto Centre

Porto is a lovely, old and rough-hewn city and I have very much enjoyed my visit here last March. The city centre is easily walkable which I adore. I am a great fan of walking. Walking is actually what I do best when travelling, I walk from one square to attraction to another, and it is no secret that I indulge in food, thus after sampling different types of local delicacies, it makes me feel good that those calories are going somewhere else other than to my (bulging) stomach and (flabby) arms. However, if you are mobility challenged, there are the old world trams and modern sightseeing buses to bring you around. Map of Porto Centre Information: Porto Tourism Website Right click on the map and open in a different window and click on the map to zoom in. In this trip, I have walked sooo much. I may not have covered every nook and cranny of Porto but I have discovered many places worthy to be seen and experienced. Below are some of the major places in Porto that you will encoun...
