Travel with ETS BG-KL-BG 3D2N

Last Tuesday, I took my sister daughters and son for short holiday, 3days 2nights in Kuala Lumpur as I promise. We all travel by fast train ETS from Batu Gajah to Kuala Lumpur (Sentral) and it took 2 hours journey overall. I've fail to book any hotel at triangle area (Bukit Bintang) cause it all fully book. However with a help from friend I manage to get a nice and clean+very convenience for us to move here and there via comuter and monorail. Credit and terima kasih to Zaquan for helping me. Without you I had no idea where we would be. I owe you something Zaquan...and I shall meet you again somewhere in March 2011, I promise!
