Places you must visit in local
before going to a winter country. Wanted to go these 2 places since few months
ago, finally, I choose today to pay there a visit. Saturday no work, this
sudden visit make me feel like a walking exploration in KL. Why I said walking
exploration? Later you will know!!!
1st
>>> KTO
What is KTO? KTO is Korea Tourism
Organisation aka Korea Plaza. KTO has their branches in every country, included
of Malaysia. You may go there to get information about Korea. Besides, also can
get free vouchers and map at there. Many activities can be done at KTO, such as
Hangul Class, KPOP Dance Class, Cooking Class and more. If you are a traveler who
planning to have a backpack tour to Korea, I think you will like a talk “GoGoSSing Korea”,
they will talk about useful information to backpack to Korea. 4th
Saturday every month, 11am – 1pm.
To know more information, can look

whatever you want.

Kok Kong Winter Wear
After KTO, I walk again to [ Monorail Bukit Nanas ], go to [
Monorail Hang Tuah ]. I going to overseas in winter time, so, this shop is a
place you must go to purchase winter clothes. Very cheap, many choices, complete,
can try, staffs will assist you. I feel like so many things I want to buy. Opss…
This shop, by walking, is quite far.

the shop.

30mins fast walk. I went to shopping, wah, so many clothes I feel like buying.
But CONTROL!!! Then I bought 台湾香肠to eat.

Then go home with pleasant and happy mood, almost forgot to
get off when reached my station. With this I end my walking exploration
journey. Legs sour now.
