Age-age I have never watched such thing as music orchestra, already embedded in my mind that the audience and the orchestra players are the ones who classy, ​​high-flavored music and wearing the latest fashion era. Far different from my kumel, udel and likes to dress as good as rock songs. So for me, watching his own orchestral music is a luxury.

While a free ticket to me too interested to try to enjoy live classical music. In a written ticket that we are obliged to wear batik shirt or jacket and shoes polite. If you only wear t-shirts, jeans and flip-flops are sure you will be kicked out. I also wonder why the hell should be neat, very neat, his music universal, Who are we allowed to listen to even though he just use gloves, so what? My sister also had a story that classical music in his native country, Austria, he never watched an orchestra with just wearing a t-shirt, jeans and sandals, but may go tuh.

Finally, by wearing a suit and shoes that are narrow andelan marriage, I finally watched this also the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. The room is not too big as I imagined, there is a balcony on the left and right side of the room, and high ceilings decorated by a beautiful ornament. Lightingnya warm, not too cold air conditioning, spectator man in a suit, there is also a local batik and spectators wear women wearing party clothes. Deh-like atmosphere of the rich. Just did not have small children, fear of noisy point. Even so, there is also a special orchestra presented by the children and for children here, but we must look at the schedule prior dahulu.Belum have 5 minutes to sit, Malaysian music player Music Orchestra (MPO) began to arrive. They immediately alat2 busy tuning their music, hear the sounds of musical instruments ngak ngik ngok, but not interfere. Soon the conductor with longish hair 80's style comes to the accompaniment of applause which echoed across the room. After I noticed a list of names and tampang2nya MPO music players, I believe that 90% of them are foreigners, mostly Caucasian people. Continue where yah orang2 Malaysianya? His name doang Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra but was nearly all Caucasian people.

After getting the cue from the conductor began was the classical music that is sometimes sad, happy and anger flowing. I think each player will be awarded MPO megaphone on each instrument, but it was not tuh, so the original music that came out really supported by room with good resonance. I do not remember any song first, because the title very long and weird, basically there are three songs as a whole. The concert begins at 8.30 pm and finished at 11 pm plus 20 minutes resting.

What's interesting about this concert is the introduction of a guest performer (Caucasians) are very good at playing the piano, his fingers pumping out beautiful tunes in each and every piano perfectly. The strains of violin and piano together in a melodious bersahut-replication makes me lulled for a moment. Unfortunately at the end konsert this world-caliber piano player I think in 'forced' by the committee to bring the songs of Malaysia. What made me surprised again, 'the song malaysia' which turned out to be a song sung Rasa Sayange ours, have Indonesia! Ntah of necessity and lack of exercise, the song Rasa Sayange and another song but I forgot what song I think Indonesia is also a diaku-I by Malaysian-made me sound a bit saggy and force. Fortunately, these songs are played for a while, if I had run away once baseball. The funny thing for me, whether it's orchestral music tradition or not, every song out of the conductor will be given applause and disappeared behind the stage. Then he will reappear and give honor to the audience and the audience will clap their hands again. After that he's back behind the stage, then back again to the stage, and so on, I count to five times as possible.

The funny thing also for me, probably because not cough during the music progresses, every music out of the audience were competing cough, Kasian, I think they restrain restrain a cough during a concert in progress. So it's good if more severe cough you do not watch deh orchestral music. Oh yes, in the concert hall you can not motret, you could still sneak motret using camera phones, but if caught you are going didamprat by security.

To me that people this Ndeso, watch a live orchestral music is an interesting experience. Ticket price was reasonable for me, you can get tickets for just RM 20 for a goat class. Other classes are also available and the most expensive is RM 80. 1 RM was about Rp 3000. You can check the list of events and buy tickets online at the website MPO. Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra is located in KLCC or Petronas Twin Towers building. This orchestra was founded on August 17, 1998 by Petronas, Malaysia's oil company. When are ya Pertamina made like this?

Make you who love hiking was fun, there is a place near the Kuala Lumpur, his name FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia), located in Kepong, about 16 km from Kuala Lumpur. Was founded by British colony since 1929, FRIM is 600 hectares of forest laboratory which is also a place to conduct research on tropical forests in Malaysia.

Aside from being a laboratory of scholars, FRIM is also a means of recreation and education. This forest represents the areas yangg popular for local people to hold picnics, jogging, cycling, jungle tracks, bird watching and even wedding photography. Try in Jakarta is not you think this kind of forest that is located just 16 km from downtown?

During a visit there I took myself to see that even a small waterfall but rather was for my children play there. These waterfalls have been the subject of water to the river that divides the flow of tropical forests in FRIM. The river does not so big and also not very clean, but there aja people and small children playing and bathing in the river tersebut.Tidak far from the waterfall area there is an area called 'Kampong Java'. There I saw a row of houses on stilts and some ordinary houses. I do not know what they meant to give the name 'Kampong Java', or indeed the people of Java used to live there?

One of the destinations that are sold here is actually the way to the Canopy Walk. Canopy Walk is a man-made road bridge built in trees, where you will be able to take a walk on the tree at a height of 30 meters. The length of its own Canopy Walk about 50 meters. Unfortunately when he got there the two sons of my fears, so I did not even had time to enjoy the experience of walking over to the Canopy Walk pohon.Untuk you must buy tickets in advance. RM 5 for adult tickets, student (aged 13 years and over) RM 3 and for children (7 to 12 years) cost RM 1. Canopy Walk is open daily from 9:30 till 14:30, but closed Mondays and Fridays. You also should wear hiking shoes and clothes for the trip quite far, about 1.4 km in total. During the first 900 meters, the road that we must go up enough, fit for a car is roughly, but travel about 500 yards further small road, just trails and hiking terus.Satu again the important thing is do not forget to bring mosquito repellent lotion, umbrella (if longer rainy season) and water, because along the way to the Canopy Walk, there is no such thing tuh drink vending. Journey to the Canopy Walk will take about 30-45 minutes one way. Total general travel back and forth probably about 2 hours. Do not bring grandparents or your in-laws, can-can gempor them later, but his physical strength. Visit to FRIM is suitable for those of you who like berpetualangan in outdoor, strong walk and loves nature beautiful forest. When do more, you can enjoy the forest after all this time cooped up by the life of the city's increasingly crowded and narrow? To go to FRIM you can use the KTM train from Kuala Lumpur Kepong and stop at the station. From Kepong station you can continue the journey by taxi. Or if lazy to take the train, you take a taxi directly from Kuala Lumpur, not far away so anyway, just 16 km. FRIM tesmi website you can access

Actually Menara Kuala Lumpur or KL Tower is taller than Petronas Towers. Loh kok can! Yes, because the KL Tower stands on the hill, so if we calculate the KL tower height plus the high hill, the amount will be greater than the size of tall Petronas Towers themselves. To see the sights of Kuala Lumpur in my opinion would be more interesting from the KL Tower as compared with the Petronas Towers.

Why? Because of his official tour of the Petronas Towers we are only allowed to ride up to floor 42 only, meaning only half of us would come in the KL Tower. So, if you want to see the sights of Kuala Lumpur from the highest places, KL Tower is the place, rather than the Petronas Towers, unless you have connections in the Petronas Towers that can take you to the 88th floor!

KL Tower is a telecommunication tower and is the fifth tallest tower in the world, and by the Malaysian government used also as a tourist attraction. To rise to the observation decks you will be charged a fee of RM 38 (adult) and RM 28 (children). KL Tower is open daily from 9 am until 10 pm. If you've arrived at its KL Tower observation deck, you usually will be given a tape recorder equipped with a head for walkman phonenya. The purpose of granting this Walkman is for you to know the names of the existing building around the KL Tower as well as to know the history of KL Tower.ika you are not interested to hear the walkman, you can reject it, because for me personally is very inconvenient to carry around full Walkman with headphones and cord. On the observation deck room you are free to linger, not restricted like the Petronas Towers. In my opinion the best time to go up to KL Tower observation deck is at night, because the lights of KL city will look more beautiful. Noon-noon rather dull landscape. Oh yes, you can see the Petronas Towers from here, because of the Petronas Towers is located adjacent to the KL Tower.Di observation deck there are also stores that sell t-shirts, and various kinds of souvenirs KL Tower. In addition to the KL Tower observation deck there is also a revolving restaurant, or a restaurant that moves slowly rotate on top of the tower. Restaurant is open from 11:30 until 14:30 for lunch, and at 19:00 until 23:00 for dinner. But to be able to eat at restaurants that we have to reserve or book a place first, usually 1 week before, or maybe more because it is always fully booked restaurant.

Being situated in the middle of the woods, KL Tower also has a tour for bird watching, camping, jungle trekking, jogging trails, forest walks, camping, playground, flora fauna and Jelutong Tree. To go to the KL Tower is relatively easy, because it is located in the middle of Kuala Lumpur-tengak town and very close to the Petronas Towers. If you ride the monorail train, stopping in Raja Chulan Station, from there you can walk or ride free shuttle buses. If you take the train Putra LRT, stop at the Dang Wangi station, from there you walk about 300 meters to the Bukit Nanas Monorail Station for the ride. From the station you stop at Bukit Nanas Station.Dari Raja Chulan there you can walk or ride free shuttle buses. KL Tower's official website you can access

For fans of things that smelled of India or just want to know what the atmosphere of the Indian market in Kuala Lumpur, please try to stop at Little India Kuala Lumpur. Little India is a small area in Kuala Lumpur which is similar to China Town Petaling Street, just all kinds of goods sold here are specific to Indian culture.

Here you can buy trinkets typical Indian jewelry such as necklaces, rings, anklets, goods, textile fabrics and various kinds of saris. The goods results mix with Malay culture such as skullcap (skull cap), and Malay batik sarongs are also available here. Drugs typical Indian traditional, herbal medicine and herbs are also scattered on sale in Little India.

Almost all the way here your ear is definitely going in the knocking out with Indian music that loud in pairs along the road. If you are hungry you can buy a variety of typical foods such as bread, grind down an Indian, tandoori chicken, tea and other attraction. If it does not match with Indian food, there are also owned by an Indonesian Padang restaurant, but I forgot the name of the restaurant.

To go to Little India you just use the Putra LRT train and stop at Masjid Jamek station, from there you can walk to Jalan Masjid India. If baseball wanted to take a taxi tired also quite cheap, only about RM 7 from the Petronas Twin Towers. Jalan Masjid India is a small street close to the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

Malaysia Zoo is a zoo located in the state of Selangor, about 13 km from downtown Kuala Lumpur. The zoo area of ​​110 acres and in the open since 1963, this store about 5137 animals of 449 species, including mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians. The question is interesting enough or worth it if going there? My answer is brief, no.

In my opinion Ragunan zoo in Jakarta is much better and bigger compared to the State Zoo in Kuala Lumpur, especially when compared to the Singapore Zoo, baseball is nothing deh. The place is in my opinion is less well maintained and animals look somewhat less happy and listless, lethargic. I hope the government here soon upgrade this State Zoo, the garden was ashamed of the star who brought the name of the country of Malaysia only look like this.

If you insist on going here as well, State Zoo is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm today. The cost of entry for adults is RM 15, children (3 to 12 yrs), RM 6, and for people aged 60 yrs more RM 6. To go to the State Zoo you can use the Putra LRT train and stop at Wangsa Maju Station, from the station you can take a taxi or bus

I am interested to see the rather long queue at the restaurant I Love Yoo at The Pavilion this. Moreover, many Chinese people are queuing up, usually the Chinese appetite and food choices OK loh. Do not worry, this is really kosher. No Pork! And cheap.

Idly I try to queue and commanded a set, there was only one bowl of porridge, cakwe one bowl and drink one glass of soy milk. Sense of porridge was tasty once and when it is mixed with cakwe, well, savory taste. Since then food has become one of my favorite choices when eating fad afternoon.

Those who used to live in big cities probably never see another animal that looks beautiful on this night. Little kids today probably do not even know at all what it was a firefly. Well to simply nostalgic for the insects which are flickering glow does not hurt when you visit a park or Firefly firefly Park in the town of Kuala Selangor, Malaysia.

Firefly Park is located in the town of Kuala Selangor, about a half hour drive by car from Kuala Lumpur. Firefly Park opened on at 19.30 and closed at 23.00, well his name is also a tour of fireflies, a good time to see their action is at night. Remember, in Malaysia darkening time is at 19.30, the difference with the darkening of Jakarta at 18.00.

Ticket price per person is relatively cheap around RM10 or 27 thousand dollars. Should you depart from Kuala Lumpur at around 16:30, so get there you still sempet dinner at a restaurant. His Chinese restaurant is pretty good and really cheap. Oh yes, do not eventually eat, you'll forget to buy tickets. Ticket counters open at 19.00.

Firefly Park is not like a regular zoo where the animals be put in the cage, here you will navigate the river who called the Selangor river with a small motor boat that can fit for 20 people. Well this is the future of small boats we will search for trees near the river where fireflies flickered around and casually.

The journey by ship to see the fireflies will take about 30 minutes. Here is also provided lodging, but why should nginep-nginep, not many are able to be seen besides fireflies, it also can only be done at night! Home photo above is a photo one of the inn at Firefly Park.

You should come here and not on the rainy season or a full moon, lightning guaranteed kunangnya would not look at the time. Do not forget to bring mosquito repellent lotion, if not, bump-bump wah deh body. Bring your camera is fine but useless, because you are not allowed to perform activities of photography for the boat, the most you can only photographs just before the entrance boat.

Make me a tour of the fireflies is quite interesting when bored navigate the bustle of Kuala Lumpur. Bring your kids, they've never seen a firefly again right? Unless you are living in rural and often see fireflies tour will be less attractive
