Kuala Lumpur is situated at the meeting point of the Kelang and Gombak rivers and serves as the capital of Malaysia, as well as its commercial, economic, financial, and cultural hub. It stands out as one of Asia's burgeoning cities, undergoing rapid development to become a vibrant metropolis. The city presents a striking mix of the contemporary and the traditional, where modern, cosmopolitan elements fuse with old-world charm. Here, ancient colonial structures, temples, minarets, and domes harmoniously coexist with towering skyscrapers. The skyline is notably marked by the Petronas Twin Towers, among the tallest buildings globally, yet the older city sections retain a quaint, historical ambiance. Kuala Lumpur's abundant green spaces earn it the title of a garden city, and by night, its illuminated buildings and streets transform it into a dazzling urban landscape. Kuala Lumpur is celebrated for its multicultural essence, showcasing a rich tapestry of customs, traditions, vibrant festivals, diverse cultures, and an extensive selection of exquisite cuisines.

Jakarta, situated in the northwest of the Java island, is the capital city of Indonesia and the largest city in Southeast Asia. Jakarta is a massive city and one of the most bustling and vibrant metropolises in the world, offering a plethora of attractions ranging from historical and cultural sites, upscale shopping centers to traditional markets, a top-notch restaurant scene, and a lively nightlife.

Walking is the ideal way to explore these historical sites. Cafe Batavia, established in 1805, is a renowned restaurant with Baroque decor that overlooks Fatahillah Square. North off-shore from Jakarta's beach, there are small islands known as Kepulauan Seribu, or the Thousand Islands. These islands are under the jurisdiction of the North Jakarta city government and provide a perfect escape from city life.

Day 11

benoa - bali - indonesia

Arrival: 14:00 - Departure: 00:00

The southern region of Bali, despite its general chaos and heavy tourist presence, boasts the island's finest beaches and several intriguing sightseeing tours. Therefore, if you're planning a trip to this destination, I suggest you allocate at least three full days to explore. If you find Bali too congested, the Kuta area and its surroundings are a great alternative: it was here that the first wave of travelers arrived in search of surf, and they also discovered a paradise worth sharing. Despite the noise and the less prominent presence of Balinese culture compared to other areas, Kuta and its surroundings still offer a delightful experience. Legian Street is charming, perfect for purchasing souvenirs or bargaining with locals for a dress; the beach is ideal for surfing, and it's a sight to behold as it's always bustling with surfers; and the sunset is a spectacle you simply cannot miss. Locals throng the beach in large groups, many of whom are eager to take photos with you, play soccer, or simply swim; and impromptu bars spring up offering cold beers and crates as makeshift local bars. The sunsets are stunning and completely harmless. However, the local lifestyle here is less immersive than in other parts of the island, so don't expect to find a quaint market or a temple around every corner.
