Fish spa therapy in Kuala Lumpur.

If you haven't tried this yet you must-it is such a good laugh!!
It will be a foot massage that you will never forget! How does it work?
Different sizes of fish tickle and massage your feet by nibbling away at them. Don't worry it doesn't hurt but it will really get you screaming with uncontrollable laughter!
There is no describing the sensation- you just have to give it a go!!




Where in KL can you go and experience this?
There are several places and I have mentioned 2 of them below:

Central market, Pasar Seni, ground floor has one Fish Spa which is inexpensive and simple. Here you will find 2 sizes of fish as well as a hand spa (fish nibble your fingers!!)

The Pavillion Mall (Near Mono Rail Bukit Bintang) has a more expensive Fish Spa which offers other massages as well. Have a look at their website here:http://www.kenko.com.sg/

Enjoy!

Frasers Hill- Outing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia



You can either drive or take a train to Fraser's hill from Kuala Lumpur. Plan around 1 and half hours to get there by train from KL Sentral to Kuala Kubu Bharu.. It is nice place to visit if you want to experience a cooler climate in Malaysia and some English nostalgia similar to that found in Cameron Highlands. A day trip is sufficient unless you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and are longing for a cool, peaceful and green hideaway. If so you can make it a weekend stay.

Taxi from the train station ( Kuala Kubu Bharu) to Fraser's Hill can cost up to 180 ringgit plus waiting and touring. If you want to pre plan a pick up from the station contact  Apoo

For more information on how to drive there have a look at this link:

Fresh fruit juices in Kuala Lumpur.

I am back on my fresh fruit juices craze and am so glad I have found a place that offers some really good fruit and vegetable juice combinations which you can mix and match yourself. The place is called Juice works and they have several outlets all over Kuala Lumpur. They do also offer slushes, detox juices, joghurt and wheat grass juice but I stick to the pure veg and fruit juices (without ice). I love their drink: 'Royal Juiceiness' with asparagus.

 I do not like Boost Juices as they mix carton juice in with their fresh stuff and that's a big no no for me!!

Check them out at : Juice Works
Midvalley, Curve, KLCC and others....

Art in Kuala Lumpur Tourist Information Centre

The Malaysia tourist information centre (Matic) is a great place to get information and brochures on what to see and do all over Malaysia. There is also a souvenir shop attached. Best of all there are some art and cultural shows and exhibitions from time to time. Go have a look at and enjoy the Art in the Gallery behind the Tourist Information Centre. Some pictures of the Artwork are shown below.

Eyebrow Threading: Kuala Lumpur

For eyebrow threading it is best to go to Brick Fields near KL Sentral. There are plenty of Indian beauty salons in the area. Below are photos of one near the budget De Sentral Hotel. Good prices too!
