Batu caves

Another visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia maybe this is the 10th visit to this unique country and the more i knew about this country the more i feel deeply in love with it^^. Driving in Malaysia without having no licence is kinda exited to do so BUT hey! this is not recommend to anyone to do so alright!! hahaha^^.

In Thailand we recently have a chance to see some of the Malaysian cars on the street and even can purchase it quite cheap here (well if you compare with other cars company), and when its happened to see a Proton cars in Malaysia i feel kinda like mannn.... this is something that all the Malaysian should be proud of. How about me? I like Proton satria neo, even though my GF really really and really disagree to that but i would love to test drive on it though ( that car got some potential man i can tell!!haha).

Anyway get back to my visit to Malaysia, this visit is mainly for my beloved GF which is happened to have her B'day on the 15 of May and hey she is turning to 24 years old (not 17 okie haha). My plan was showing up at her place without telling her on the 14th but the fact is i told her that i will arrive on the 15th aha!!. Mannn you know what i got her a surprised BIG BIG TIME!! haha.

Have a chance to visit Batu caves on the weekend this is my first time to visit a Hindu shrines, the culture is so rich and i find that very interesting.

Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 km north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village.
The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is the focal point of the annual Thaipusam festival in Malaysia and attracts over more than 1.5 million pilgrims, making it one of the largest gatherings in history.

Chiangmai - Songkarn Fest

Sawad dee jao, the word "jao" very often use here in the northern part of Thailand instead of using "kub" and "ka". Me and my girlfriend have a chance to visit Chiangmai during a Songkarn fest, the festival start from mid April (12th-15th) every year.

Me and my girlfriend decided to take a train to Chiangmai (still think if it was a good decision!!), a train was delayed for almost 3 hours and by the time we reached Chiangmai it was almost 1am in the morning. Well i guess that is a good experiences though. Driving to Chiangmai from Bangkok is another way to travel and i will love to try that though BUT not in this festival season, I'm pretty sure it will be jam alllll...ll the way to Chiangmai, and driving to Chiangmai should take about 8-10 hours driving....yeah i know is such a long way but worth to give it a try.

Chiangmai people are friendly (well most of them), they speak very slow and always end they sentence with the word "jao" and i find that very unique and so attractive.

"wai pa kun mai jao" see you later in a northern style....hahaha
