Cherating Beach, Pahang

The last I've been to Cherating Beach in Pahang was many years ago. I enjoyed the trip very much as the beaches were wide and shallow, so you could walk quite far out. Apart from the many resorts like Club Med, there were also budget chalet. So you can stay and enjoy your beach stay without burning a hole in your pocket! Now with the highway, it takes about 3 hours drive from KL to Kuantan and a short hop over to Cherating seaside. So let's see...

Petaling Jaya History in Brief

Here's a brief history about Petaling Jaya. It was a satelite town to Kuala Lumpur but now has grown to be a little city (and getting rather congested too!) with many new buildings sprouting out office lots, shopping centres and brand new condos.

Legoland Theme Park in Johor

The Legoland Theme Park in Johor will be open on 15th September 2012 and it would be an interesting Johor tourism destination.

It was reported the entrance fee for Malaysians were: Adults = RM140 Child...

It started out as a way for botanist and scientist to study the upper...

Happy Family in i-City SnoWalk enjoying some fun snow! I remembered the Mines in Balakong had...

As for Tapah, well, I confess I have not really explored the town as most times I would just head on strait up to Cameron Highlands because the...
