It includes an art gallery, a quirky book store, some hipster snacks, and a high-tech circus. Get ready to get weird, ya'll! Walt Disney Concert... Continue Reading →
The residence of KL are a mixed bag of ethnically different people. There are large populations of people from India, China (mostly Cantonese), and of course the native Malaysians.

This loop portion splits off at the bridge and follows the river instead of the valley.
Not every adventure can be epic, so here is a montage of some of my less than totally awesome Adventures With Jen.

But others are not, and can be a plentiful food source, so it's definitely a risk-reward situation. This also means that if a troop wants... Continue Reading →
Dinner is our splurge meal at about $6 per day for two, so we make sure to get whatever our little hearts desire.
