Does anyone know of a camera shop where I may be able to pick up a strobe and arm for underwater photography at or near LCCT (the Air Asia terminal in KL) or KLIA (the international airport). I have a 4-hour stopover on the way to Indonesia and really need to get these items. If anyone has the contact details (email or phone) of such at shop, at either airport (I'm at LCCT but can get to KLIA in 20 mins) or within an hour round trip reach of LCCT that would be perfect as I may be able to contact them and get them to order what I want even if they don't stock it.

I would be enormously grateful for any help!

I have a follow up to an earlier question issue, re.motorbike licensing in Malaysia. Does anyone know what Malaysia rules are concerning small electric bikes? Here on the west coast of Canada and in Washington State (USA), there is no extra licensing needed for small (49 cc or less) electric bikes. You can use your regular (auto) driver's license: Malaysia? Thanks

I am thinking of heading to Borneo for 7-10day in December on my way back from the UK to New Zealand and was wondering if anyone had any advice around tour companies because I will be going on my own.I have had a wee look around but not finding 100% what im looking for.

Hi: Looking to stay here one night (flying into KLIA). Does anyone know the cost of a taxi between the hotel and KLIA? Any info to share about the hotel in general. Thanks

Hi VTers - it's been a while since I've visited the forums, but I know I can count on the expertise here! I'm staying at the Berjaya Langkawi with my other half for the last week in September (should be a quiet time in Langkawi, I think?). Now, while we were sold on the chalet concept, we really aren't big resort people and want to be able to explore the island and eat out independently. My understanding is that the Berjaya is fairly cut off (except for the Oriental Village which doesn't appeal), so we're wondering how would be best to get out and about.

Is cycling feasible, or is this only suitable for short journeys? Would you recommend car hire? My partner owns a scooter in Italy, but I'm not sure how safe renting one of these is in Malaysia? The last one we rented abroad (Uruguay) came with one-size-fits-all helmets which wouldn't have done very much in a crash.

Many thanks in advance!

How would you classify Penang, Malaysia for a lesbian couple, with two 5 year olds for vacation travel. We are not public affection types so it would simply be to travel and enjoy the location as a family. Any advise would be appreciated!

I'm considering to visit Malaysia with family in June, for 7 nights , and would appreciate your kind advice on the following:-

3) Transfer from airport to accommodation - how do I get there?

Thank you! :-)

I like to walk from KL Sentral Station to the National Palace, so I got googlemap‘s suggested route about 5.0km throught Jalan Stesen Sentral, Jalan Damansara, Jalan Sultan Sulaiman, Jalan Kampung Attap,…, Lorong Bellamy, end Jalan Istana. On the map I think the distance between the two place is shorter than 5.0km, is there any other direction, or direction web in Kuala Lumpur like streetdirectory.sg? And how about the monorail, can you tell more information about this? Thank you
