Most people's idea of a holiday is to have travel, at least another state, better another country, another continent, and even further if technology and the travel industry condones it.
I therefore ask the question, how about a mini getaway right where you are ; a hotel in the city, rent a house with pals to chill for the weekend, etc. You've got little to no travel expenses, you the area well, you don't need to take too long a leave to do it, etc. Besides, admit it, there's stuff in your own country you've not seen which people travel half way around the world to see. (I was gonna say 3 quarter way around the world, but I just realised why they logically term it that way)
I did just that.
Place of choice was Hotel Maya, which I was totally oblivious to until a friend of mine told me he'd be planning a wedding there later this year. I wanted some thing different from the usual hotels.
Hotel Maya has a unique interior, shares half a building with Menara Chan (imagine converting an office block into an hotel), faces the Petronas Twin Towers, has a hydrotherapy pool, and cool sky lounge on the 13th floor. On a side, they also offer in-room DVD movies.
Stayed a night there, throw in a short trip to Suria KLCC, a dinner and complimentary breakfast the next morning and some privacy, you got yourself a cool mini weekend getaway.
I'd come back again :) ... for now ... enjoy the view;
... watching this to sleep ...
and waking up to this ...

hey kenny, bumped to your blog via yw's weddingscenes. hotel maya yea? i was told that some rooms in hotel maya actually faces a cemetery. i've checked out the place before as it's just right opposite zouk. i have the same thought as you did to get a room, do the rabbit thing there and chiow the next day. however, didn't managed to do that. after checking out your blog, i shall repeat this mantra in my head "will do it, will do it... :)"
Cemetary ? hmmmm well it was really hard for me to see the ground from the 22nd floor ; so unless the bodies are buried in the air, you won't get freaked :)
