TRAVEL DIARIES: Our room at Hotel Nikko KL

March 8, 2011

When we went to KL for the first time TD (The Diplomat) booked us in Hotel Nikko KL. There were many other recommendations, mostly boutique hotels that probably had better food and more value for the same money, however TD chose Nikko because of the location – walking distance to Suria KLCC Mall and right beside a train station which was important because our main mission for this weekend trip was IKEA.

We got a deluxe room but were upgraded because the hotel was full. Yay! I wonder what the deluxe room would have looked like?

View from our window. We noticed a lot of buildings going up in KL.

There was a nice desk, which was great as a dresser. =P

I liked the media wall which drawers for storage and lotsa surface area for all my stuff – I obviously do not travel light.

Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur

I find it so funny when there is a window from the bathroom looking over the room. I wonder why hotel rooms have this? =P

Big bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. Too bad we didn’t have time to luxuriate in the tub. We had a packed weekend planned. They provided good quality toiletries and it was a bonus that they had a weighing scale in the bathroom. It helps me not overeat while I’m on vacay! =P

One thing that TD and I noticed was that the room seemed to have “modern” trappings (below) but the look was not as our current technology. Check out the panel on the bedside table that controlled everything from the lights, dimmers, AC and alarm clock! Neat right? Instead of the sign to hang on the door when you don’t want to be disturbed or you need your room made up, there was a switch by the door. Just press it and presto!

We figure these were done a while back but since the Japanese are very advanced when it comes to technology, these were very hi-tech for that time and just haven’t needed to be updated yet. Just our theory. What do you think?

I really liked the room we had – clean lines and a modern look with asian elements. The beddings were lovely (nice and fluffy) and everything was spotless and clean.  To me that’s the most important part. Best part was the convenience of walking to the mall (no need to haggle with cabs which we were warned about) and taking the train to the area of IKEA.

More posts on these soon…

    What a beautiful hotel you stayed at! I hear you about the location. Location is very important for us, too! I would love to go to IKEA in KL!!!! I should be saying I want to go go KL since I have never been there, but I miss IKEA so much! How funny that some technologies are not so up to date at the hotel Nikko. Well, that seems very Japanese to me. Thanks for sharing the photos! I like that you’re in the reflection of the mirrors.

Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween decor collection so it’s not so heavy on the wallet. I’m so happy with this year’s finds & make sure to carefully store them so they have many more years of use.

It was @diplobaby’s idea to add googly eyes to the bats. So we did it together! I love the one eyed bats 🦇 and I love it when we decorate together! Definitely one for the core memory banks! 👻🎃🤍

I was tickled pink coz people would pass by and take pics, stare or even tell me good job. 🎃 Halloween is really my favorite holiday!

What do you think of our Halloween prep this year?

I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little too long for him this year but we sure got a kick from it.

DM me if you want to know where to order!

VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT Every year I look f VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT

Every year I look forward to this event for families in our village. We also invite our friends outside the village coz it’s so much fun for families. Parents and kids can come in costume. It’s done beside a fabulous park so kids can run around and play.

The pumpkins 🎃 might be overpriced (the bigger ones went from chf 18 last year to chf 23 this year) BUT it includes the free use of NIFTY CARVING TOOLS, waste disposal, clean up & cute decor that the organizers have provided.

We draw together. TD removes the guts. Then @diplobaby & i do the carving together with our son and it’s a controlled way of showing him how to use the tools in a safe way. Which is something I appreciate in Europe.

One year we tried pumpkin 🎃 carving at home and clean up was a totally nightmare. Never doing it again!

Then when kids and parents are are hungry we can buy food & drinks. 

We go home with a carved pumpkin 🎃 & don’t have to do the clean up. The pumpkin guts are also turned into soup by the organizers.

It’s also a good way for parents to unwind, catch up while the kids play in the playground. We usually see our neighbors here too.

It’s a win win for everyone & it reduces unused waste. I love it so much!

We never did pumpkins before coz it would rot@so fast in Asia. But i  the past 3 seasons of doing this I’ve learned so many tips and tricks for pumpkin 🎃 carving - especially how to prevent molds and insects. Let me know if you want me to do a separate post on that!

Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted ab Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted about our #DiploHome.

This is our BALCONY/TRASH SEGREGATION AREA.

Because we use it to entertain in SPRING & AUTUMN (too hot & too many insects in summer) I made sure that the trash segregation remains AESTHETIC by using white @ikeaschweiz SEGREGATION BINS.

So far SWITZERLAND TRASH SEGREGATION in our experience is even more complex than GERMANY but it has led to at least 50% RECYCLING rate which is pretty good, even though Germany still has the highest rate of recycling 66%

Let me know if you want to know more about how we manage trash in our village.
