Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia


Kuala Lumpur is the largest city of Malaysia. The city proper, making up an area of 244 km2 (94 sq mi), has an estimated population of 1.6 million in 2006. Greater Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Klang Valley, is an urban agglomeration of 7.2 million. It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, in terms of population as well as economy.

Kuala Lumpur is the seat of the Parliament of Malaysia. Some sections of the judiciary remain in the capital. The official residence of the Malaysian King, the Istana Negara, is also situated in Kuala Lumpur. The city is also the cultural and economic centre of Malaysia due to its position as the capital as well as being a primate city.

Kuala Lumpur is defined within the borders of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur and is one of three Malaysian Federal Territories. It is an enclave within the state of Selangor, on the central west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

In addition, Kuala Lumpur is home to the tallest twin buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers.

HillPark Sibolangit Theme Park, North Sumatera, Indonesia.

It is located in Sibolangit, about 20 minutes before Berastagi on the road Medan - Berastagi, so about 1 hour from Medan. It is at a slightly lower altitude than Berastagi, but much cooler than Medan (though still hot in the midday Sun).

There are some bumper cars (aka dodgems), a rollercoaster , a big ferris wheel, a flat train, a water inner tube slide, about 7 or so other fairground type rides such as a tree house, then in the indoor area (a nicely designed fairy tale castle) there is a very good dimsum restaurant and some arcade machines such as the basketball game.
