Malaysia has one of the
strangest borders in the world. It's a two part country one could say, as it's
split right down the middle by the Gulf of
Thailand and the Java Sea. it's
quite clearly a semi-tropical nation, with plenty of turquoise blue waters,
bright green and lush vegetation but also, dark streams and rivers to along
with it. It's also a very mountainous nation, with plenty of roads that are
carved on the sides of hills, rock faces and cliffs. It's an incredibly hot
nation as well with the average temperature all year round being 28 Celcius.
However because it's a somewhat tropical climate, you also get a monsoon season
which brings tons and tons of rainwater down over the beautiful landscape.
There are plenty of areas to explore in the nation because mostly, it's just
the countryside. There are a few major areas of human habitation, one of them
being the capital Kuala Lumpur obviously. However for those that would rather
not be caught in the commotion and hustle of the city centre, there’s always
the Cheras 9 Miles.
First stop for food
When you come to Cheras
9 Miles, you will notice that this is a place designed for those that want to
work and explore the city, but not live inside it. There’s a lot more open
space in the streets, less traffic and room to walk freely. However, you’ll
also find that there are a number of residential neighbourhoods that are very
close together. This allows for multiple restaurants to set up shop and be within
earshot of a good source of well-paying customers. Inevitably this means more
great food for us!
Check out
D’Pallet where they serve
Malaysian comfort food. The red spicy beef curry and a bowl of fresh white rice
is a great choice for the hungry and weary traveller. Noodles in chicken or
fish broth, together with boiled eggs, fresh thick cut red chilli and green
onion is also a favourite of locals. You will also want to try the lightly
fried crab smothered in a sticky red sauce of peppers and spices if you love
seafood. This is one of the first stops you should make when you come to Cheras
9 Miles. There are plenty of other restaurants all around this great area, that
sits just outside the capital.
A cosy place to lay
Malaysia is just like
any of the other East Asian countries in that it offers apartments and homes to
rent for the
travellers and holidaymakers.
Hotels are a plenty in and around Kuala Lumpur but for those that really want
to take control of their own adventures, a 3 bedroom
house for rent is the better option.
Take for example the options in Casa Green located right in the heart of Cheras
9 Miles. There’s full air conditioning around the house, you have a water
heater so you can shower at any time of the day or night when you’re done
exploring. You can cook your own meals using the cooker and hob. You can end
the night by looking at the night sky on your very own balcony as well. Overall
it's around 1,700 square-feet. It's partially furnished and also has 4 bedrooms
and 4 bathrooms altogether. A brilliant place to rest your tired soul after
travelling around the city.
Into the jungle
As mentioned before,
Malaysia is pretty much mostly countryside. However it's also semi-tropical, so
there is a vast area of the country that is jungle. You can
explore the jungle with
specialist guides. You’ll first meet in Brickfields where you will be
introduced to your guide, then you’ll hop on a private coach to the outskirts
of the city. Travelling deeper into the countryside, you’ll be stopping and
then carry on by foot or car. Once arrived, you can take the time to strip down
and swim in the jungle waters by the waterfalls. The streams are full of clear
water and the jungle canopy protects you from the hot sun. It's a once in a
lifetime experience that you should take while in Malaysia.
Cheras 9 Miles is a
place outside the capital of Kuala Lumpur. It's a residential neighbourhood
that is very laid back, has many great restaurants and a great nightlife.
However you can also find very cheap houses to rent for your trip, with
multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Take the time to appreciate the countryside as
well as Cheras is actually further southeast and next to many large areas of
jungle.
