Love airport Premium Lounge but you are not traveling anytime soon? Nowhere makes my heart skip a beat like a lounge and movie. With the newly released Fast & Furious: Hobbs and Shaw movie, it’s just in time to experience this cool place.

Sometimes there is nothing better than just doing nothing together! For the ultimate day of relaxation, get to TGV Indulge. I’d highly recommend the Movie and Dining Set Package for both family and friends. It includes a starter and a main course suitable for lunch or dinner.

Here’s an inside look at my experience on TGV Indulge and Dining Package, One Utama.

Need a passport in a hurry? The Malaysia government has got you covered! If you need to renew your passport, you can do it in less than 2 hours. UTC Keramat Immigration Office is a popular destination to renew your Malaysian passport in a flash.

While you can replace or renew your passport at designated immigration offices, I decided to go to Sri Hartamas Immigration Office since it’s the nearest to my house. It’s located just opposite Publika Mall. It was super easy, and I had my passport in hand in less than 2 hours.

On a mad dash out of town? Here is what you should do to expedite your Malaysian passport renewal.

Urban Retreat Onsen Spa is a private onsen in Kuala Lumpur’s (KL) expatriate area with almost everything imported straight from Japan.

Off I went to Urban Retreat Onsen Spa in Mont Kiara!

What is a Japanese Onsen?

Onsen is a kind of Japanese hot spring bath that is famous all over Japan. It’s so famous that it is now available outside Japan. There is one in Singapore, one in Bangkok and finally one in Kuala Lumpur! If you have heard of onsen, Japanese hot spring, but have never visited one – then this is guide for you. I was clueless before I visited, too. I believe you definitely have to try the onsen at least once!

The newly developed building in Mont Kiara, 163 Retail Park hides one lesser known gem that perfect for a recharge. Urban Retreat Onsen Spa, Malaysia’s first private onsen spa, offers guests the traditional Japanese hot spring experience in the privacy of their personal bathhouses. Depending on the package you choose, the onsen soak is then followed by a range of relaxing treatments, from massages to full body scrubs.

The best part? They are having opening promotion of Private Onsen for 45 minutes and 1 hour of body massage package costs just RM249!

Here is my onsen experience in Urban Retreat Onsen Spa, Mont Kiara, KL.

Award Winning Luxury Day Spa in Kuala Lumpur & Petaling Jaya, so clearly I didn’t waste any time to book an appointment.

Last winter, I traveled through the West of Austria for the very first time. And, just as I expected, I fell in love! Hallstatt Austria is a charming lake town village located between mountains on Lake Hallstatt. Hallstatt is home to less than 1,000 people and this well preserved town has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A Local’s Guide to Strasbourg, France Muslim Friendly Itinerary in One Day for First Timer

April 15, 2017

Love medieval cityscape and modern buildings? You’ll feel right at home in France’s unspoiled treasure, Strasbourg. I experienced the medieval town last winter. Far from the big city of Paris, this quiet yet lively city is home to the biggest mosque in France and one of the best Christmas Market in Europe!

Strasbourg is the capital and the largest city of Alsace, a region in the north eastern France bordering Germany. Nestled along France’s border with Germany, Strasbourg was yanked back and forth between Germany and France over centuries and finally decided to join France at the end of World War II. Due to the location at the border of these two countries, it has an appealing blend of both French and German influences in the architectural, culture and cuisine.

With so much to do in Strasbourg, it’s well worth the trip either from Paris, Black Forest or Zurich!

Strasbourg is small enough to walk around but big enough to have plenty of eating places and convenient enough for shopping either to shop Strasbourg local products as souvenir or French luxury brands. And come winter it goes totally over the top as one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe! I think I have found a new contender to battle out with Paris as my favourite French city.
