To Johor Bahru by Car :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 4, 8th July 2016

Today, is our last day at Kuala Lumpur. We will go to Johor Bahru by car. The rent car will come pick us at 09:00.

We didn't buy breakfast from hotel, so we buy some food at 7-11 nearby. There's frosted fried rice, you just put it on microwave and eat it. The taste is not bad.

I choose to depart from i-city at 09:00 because it will take 4-5 hours to drive to Johor Bahru. And if we late, the driver have to spend a night at Johor Bahru, and we have to pay for the night.

The car is also rented from Jalan Jajah Hemat. The driver, Mr Vincent is so kind and he like to talk.

Our Van to Johor Bahru

In the middle of the way to Johor Bahru, we stop by rest area to eat some lunch and resting. The food at rest area is so cheap, you can eat less than MYR 5 with a lot of food. Mostly is local food, but there's KFC there.

The rest area is so crowded.

After 4-5 hours, we arrive at Johor Bahru, and our hotel here is Hallmark Regency Hotel. At first, I want to stay at Grand Paragon Hotel, but at last I choose Hallmark Regency Hotel. They are on side by side, only Hallmark Regency is small hotel.

Next time, I will try Grand Paragon Hotel.

There's no porter here, so you have to pick your own luggage. But the receptionist is so helpful, and she can speak many language.

After rest for a while, then we go to nearby shopping mall. First, we go to Holiday Plaza, an old shopping mall at Johor. We go by taxi, and it cost MYR 6,5-7,5.

There's not much to see in here, the mall is so quiet, but the things is cheap. Then we walk to KSL City Mall.

KSL City Mall is a new mall and it's bigger. There's a hotel above the mall, if you like to spend more time, you can stay here.

We eat dinner first. There's no food court in here, they are already close. So, we decided to eat at Hongkong Restaurant.

This mall, even it's new, but the price is not too expensive. And it's really crowded in here, especially on holiday.

We spend some time to walk around and buy some mineral water. Then we go back to hotel.
We plan to go back by taxi, but because it's to near, the taxi cost MYR 12.

So we decided to walk.

Genting Highland & i-City Shah Alam, the city of Digital Light :: Family Trip to Kuala Lumpur - Johor > Malaysia -- Day 3, 7th July 2016

Today, is our last day at Kuala Lumpur. At 9 o'clock, our rental car is coming to pick us, and drop us at i-City Shah Alam. We will stay at Best Western i-City, the only hotel that located inside i-City Shah Alam.

If you didn't rent a car, here's how to go there.

Actually, it's better if we are not too early to go there, because check-in time is 14:00, and the area still closing. It will open at 12:00 noon.

So, after we arrive at i-City, I try to ask about rent car to Berjaya Hills via hotel. And the receptionist give me MYR 750 for 6 hours.

Because we don't have much choice, beside we still can't enter the room, so we accept the offer. And, it turns out that our car is luxury one, Alphard. (need driver phone number, comment below).

The driver sugges if we go to Genting Highland than Berjaya Hills. And we aggreed. And it take almost 2 hours to go there because of trafic. On the way there, the driver take us to Chocolate Galery. And we buy some.

Arrive at Genting at 12:00, and because it's holiday, it's too many people in Genting. Even when we want to eat lunch, we have to queue almost 1 hours. The food court is so small.

The outdoor theme park has been renovating, so we only play inside. If you want to ride cable car, you can but it's foggy outside.

Maybe, I will come here again when the outdoor theme park has re-opened and stay here.

Then at 15:00, we go back to i-City Shah Alam.

We bought KFC and there's so many people, so we decided to take away. Then we rest for a while.

At 19:30, we go outside, and our first destination is Snowalk.

In i-City Shah Alam, it's free to enter the theme park. But when you want to enter the game, you have to pay. And it is using i-city card.

If you still don't have the card, you can purchase it in locket. The locket is everywhere, near the game. The card cost MYR 10 (MYR 2 for the card, and has balance MYR 8).

The price to enter the game is different. I forgot the other game, but snowalk cost MYR 20 for adult (there's special price for senior (more than 60) and child).

So I top up MYR 240.

When you enter the Snowalk, they will deduct the balance in the card. And then you can borrow winter jacket for free.

It's beautiful, and I hear that It's the largest snow theme park in Malaysia. Inside, there's so many ice sclupture with different lighting, just like if you go to Ha'er Bin, China. It's minus 5 degree inside, so if you want, you can bring your muffler or other warm clothes.

After we walk around, then we decided to end the journey to snowalk. Then we walk around outside. We wants to enter City of Digital Light, but it's so crowded, and a little expensive (MYR 35/pax). I thought it's only MYR 10/pax. So we just walk around.

Then we take a rest...
