Outing Nemo in this Unique Urinal in a Kuala Lumpur Restaurant

I am not really an ichthyologist but outing Nemo and his fish brethren can easily be done if they were placed in this aquarium for studies in finding the homosexual gene in fishes (what purpose in science that could contribute, I wouldn't be able to fathom). Pag palaging naka face towards the glass si Nemo, confeermed!

The Interesting Fish and Sea Creatures at this Subang Jaya Restaurant, South Seas

My high school buddy, Marin Escudero and his beautiful wife, Ai, brought Mama and me to this interesting restaurant called South Seas in Subang Jaya, one of the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. There were many different fishes and sea creatures placed in these huge aquariums. You just had to pick out what you wanted to eat and they will cook it for you - very similar to our Dampa restaurants here in Manila, although here, we don't have the huge aquariums.

Pictures of My Modest Digs in Kuala Lumpur: Hotel Wira

There is a 24-hour Internet shop near the hotel. You pay 5 ringgit (78 pesos) for 3 hours.

Ten Reasons Why I Like Staying at Hotel Wira While I'm in Kuala Lumpur

I had stayed at Hotel Wira several times before and it has been my hotel of choice when I go to Kuala Lumpur. It's actually just a modest-size hotel, maybe 2 stars at most. I like staying here for the following reasons:

#1 It's very affordable! For a 4 day three night stay, I only paid 390 ringgit or roughly 2000 pesos per day, and that already includes the tax and other charges.

#2 It has free wifi in the room - and it's fast!

#3 It's near an LRT/Monorail station, PWTC, which is just a five-minute walk.

#4 There are many convenience stores outside including a 7-11.

#5 There's a 24-hour KFC near it, a five-minute walk!

#6 There are many different restaurants around it, some Indian, some Malay, some Chinese, you can eat a different cuisine every night!

#7 The rate includes free breakfast!

#8 There is a Hong Leong Bank near it where you can get your Western Union!

#9 The streets around it are well-lighted and there are many tourists around since there are many budget hotels around it too!

#10 It's walking distance to Otot Otot Sauna hehe so I don't worry about going home late

The downsides though include the following:

#1 There is no spectacular view outside except for the Monorail and nondescript tall buildings.

#2 Near it are many wholesaler stores which can get very busy during the day with their deliveries and stuff.

#3 No cable TV so you just watch local channels.

Well, it's not exactly the Marriott or the Ritz but I like staying here. It's quaint and cute and safe.
