E&O Residences, Kuala Lumpur

I visited Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to participate in the 14th Global Indian Festival recently and stayed at E&O Residences for the first two nights of my stay at KUL.

For the initial part of my trip, I wanted to stay near the Petronas Twin Towers and explore the city. I had researched a few KUL hotels including E&O Residences on Expedia. I started looking forward to my trip seeing the fabulous guest ratings.

E&O Residences is a landmark property located at No.1, Jalan Tengah, off Jalan Sultan Ismail, in a prime and prestigious neighbourhood in the Golden Triangle.

The check-in time starts at 3 PM. I had informed the hotel that I would require an early check-in. The 56 kms drive from the KUL airport to the hotel took me about one hour.

I was as usual doing my chore,
There was a surprise in store!

Smoky room, ceiling & floor!
Locked were all windows & door!

A Wizard appeared, no folklore!
I rubbed my eyes, there was no eye-sore! 

He said, "I'm the Travel-Wizard- Skyscanner."
"I know you love trips as you are @anitaexplorer!"

 

Malaysia In My Kismet

Hinduism believes in the concept of Karma (action, fate or deed) & also Kismet (destiny or fate).

Needless to say, we need to have a good past & present Karma & a great connection with Kismet!

There is even a Bollywood movie named 'Kismat Konnection' that stresses on Kismet to unite the hero & heroine!

Once, on TV, I watched in awe, the construction of the popular ‘Megastructure’ – The Petronas Twin Towers. The challenge was building the connecting bridge between the two towers with high wind-speeds and other technical issues. Luckily, the engineering brilliance of the architects came up with smart solutions to make the construction a reality!
