Hey guys,
Im considering Malaysia for a month/3 weeks backipacking this summer and Ive always wanted to visit malaysia.
I know this is a common question which is probably getting boring, but is malaysia safe for women travelling alone, especially european women (stands out as a tourist).
Ive read other forums about this and the answers are so mixed. some say its safe, some say even malaysian women are scared to walk alone... so Im a bit confused...
So what are your experiences?
Any advise is much appreciated! :)

What's the fastest way going to Changi AIrport, Singapore, coming from Legoland Malaysia?

Hi,
my friends and I need to know transportation options (preferably buses) from KL airport to Concorde inn. Is it walkable and if so how long would it take? Have heard abo0ut a free shuttle service but we aren't staying at the hotel, so can we still avail of this shuttle?

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. I am really interested in the diving in the islands and also and Orangutans at Sepilok, and if possible would love to do a longhouse stay. Any help/advice would be much appreciated!
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!
We live in KL but don't own a car. What is the most desirable (perhaps the only?) alternative mode of travel?
