 3-pin rectangular blade plug used in malaysia... by chiabh Malaysia uses the 3-pin rectangular blade plug with power specification of 240V and 50Hz.... You should have a suitable converter both the electrical outlet and a transformer for the required voltage... A 13amp plug would suffice for normal electrical equiment such as camera battery charger, DVD player, computer equipment etc... For more sensitive equipment, you may want to consider a surge suppressor but this is not generally required as the power supply is quite stable... Leave a Comment

 Muslims packing by l_joo This is a photo I took from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. She is no doubt a Muslim woman and I think she pack quite nicely, so I put up here to show you. Do you notice she is wearing a sport shoes, so that she can walk even run across the road at quite a speed. Leave a Comment

For check-in luggage, try using durable and preferably water-repellent suitcases/bags. I've seen incidences of damaged suitcases (especially hard-bodied ones) and luggages getting soiled. They were not necessarily due to the fault of the carriers, although in many cases they were, but the main reason usually is because most travellers (especially from the west) come a long way .. and usually with a couple of transits or stops in other cities .. by the time they actually do get to Malaysia, they do become quite a state. In any case, you will find things that are cheaper in Malaysia compared to your home country, so try to bring an almost-empty bag apart from essential toiletries and a few clothing for travel use. You can buy clothes or things as souvenirs or add them on to your shopping list ... t-shirts from night markets are usually just around £1 (RM6) or £2 (RM12) each for instance, but authentic branded t-shirts from shopping centres starts from almost £3 onwards.
Light airy clothing & shoes (comfortable water repellent shoes, e.g. avoid suede or nubuck ones), + a pair of sandals. If you're on a budget & don't intend to shop for clothes, bring: t-shirts, jeans, bermuda shorts, + a few semi-formal clothing (e.g. slacks, sundress) if you're into formal concerts or fine dining. A small pair of umbrella for sudden showers of rain or excess heat from the sun. If you are afraid of insect bites, bring along some insect repellent. For guys, despite the heat, please avoid going out in 'singlets' as men here usually only wear them at home/under working shirts or for sports. Sleeveless is possible though. For ladies, sorry to have to bring this up, but for those who are quite fond of going 'bra-less' underneath your t-shirts, etc.; please avoid that in Malaysia unless you're quite sure it won't be visible, as this is largely frowned upon and attracts unwanted attention (trust me, travellers usually attract lots of attention anyway).
Try to have some hepatitis shots before coming over if you're going to be adventurous with your eating habits in Malaysia. For toiletries, it would be good to bring along or buy from Malaysia (due to the products being made more for the weather) some good cleanser and toner for the face as dust and grime can be quite a common place in a capital city. However, unless you're staying in some backpackers' hostel or hotels with no 'star' ranking at all, then you'll find yourself supplied with most of the usual hotel toiletries anyway.
A digital camera comes in handy ... even better with a videocam to tape those cultural events like traditional dances, handicraft making, etc. if you're into it.
The same applies for camping and outdoor gear: water repellent items, insect repellent (popular ones are usually the roll-on stickes such as 'Tabard'), sandals, and a good pair of walking, sports or outdoor shoes.
If you plan to spend more using cash in Malaysia, then it's better to buy travellers cheques and cash them only when you need them in Malaysia as a better protection for yourself against pickpockets. Oh yes, an important thing for travellers is the travel adapter for charging batteries, phones, etc. In Malaysia, we use the same type of power outlets like they do in Britain (e.g. the 3-point ones with square inlets). However, smaller 2-pins that are rounded (not the big ones) from Europe, can fit into those power outlets too .. locals usually just use a pen to poke at them, hahah .. or you take a plug from an electrical product and stick it on the top inlet whilst you shove the small 2-point plug in. Or to save you all that hassle and you're willing to pay for it, just buy and use travel adapters similar to those used for UK - the 3-pin ones. Leave a Comment

Althougt the average temperature in KL is over 25 o C, a nice light sweater should come handy, especially if you are planning to do a lot of shopping. All buildings, malls, shops, hotels have air conditioning so you can easily get a sore throat if often going from outside to inside of air conditioned buildings. Leave a Comment

 How to pack by l_joo Look tourists, if you are having no idea how to pack for your travels in Kuala Lumpur, this photo probably is the solution for you. I saw most of tourists only pack small and light with a bottle of water and a guidebook and they wear sandals. And for what to wear in Kuala Lumpur, let me tell you this, never in my entire life I felt too cold in this country, I don't think you need to bring any thick heavy clothes or jackets. The temperature daily in Kuala Lumpuris 31 daytime, sometimes rise up to 35. At night is average 23-28 Celsius. Tourists can dress like the woman in picture, just fine with that. Leave a Comment

by lmkluque Pack light weight clothes, the weather is HOT & HUMID! Bring clothes that are modest if you intend to show respect for the values of this society.
If you forget to bring an extra pair of glasses, and you need an extra pair, simply take your broken glasses to a 'Speck-Shop' and in a short time you will be seeing clearly again! At this shop, 'Famili Optometrist,' 31, Jalan 2/76c, Desa Pandan, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Telephone 03-9819619, I was able to get new glasses at a very resonable price, and the service was excellent!

 Travelan by robertgaz Travellers' diarrhoea (TD) is a common problem for international travel and any country different from where you normally live in could be a problem because of different bugs and hygiene standards. And because a Western diet is typically a sterile one, they are more at risk of ending up with a case of Bali Belly. Other colourful names for travellers' diarrhoea include Montezuma's Revenge, Trotsky's, Gastro and Delhi Belly! Travelan is a caplet that should be taken prior to each meal to prevent a runny tummy. I did forget a few times and I must add that not once did I rumble in the jungle while in Malaysia. Leave a Comment
