Your Next Vacation Destination.....?

^ youll probably visit petronas towers for sure, if you are, go at night or sundown, 10x better. go to batu caves, that was fun, but dont eat there. for local eats go to kampung baru, full of local eats that are legit and 100% [emoji]128077[/emoji][emoji]127996[/emoji]. you can go to chinatown too for more eats. theres a tourist bus that is absolutely free, and will take you to all the tourist spots in the city.
around the petronas towers is a quite large area called golden triangle which includes bukit bintang shopping district, and all the bars, its walkable but tiring. hth and have fun
 
Recommendations on things to do down in Virginia? 

I'll be down there a few days later in the month. 
 
I came back from my Thailand/China Trip last week, overall it was a great experience and it was perfect for my 1st time in Asia. Me and my GF travel alot and have done the Caribbean for relaxing vacations. But we've also backpacked all throughout Central/South America and Europe so we didnt know what to expect. We decided to do a package tour with hotel and transportation included. We were very happy with the tour we did.

Here are a few highlights of the Trip, for those of you who follow me on Instagram sorry for flooding your feed. :lol: Below is the link if you want to see more pictures, #NT follow back.

I did a Thailand Japan trip about less than a year ago it was awesome .... only $300 round trip to Thailand from japan. 
 
Actually, there's been a last minute change. 

I'll be heading to Philly. 

Need recommendations on things to do. Best food spots, nightlife, any entertainment, etc. Thanks. 
What are you trying to do? Center city is good to walk around in the day. Walk up and down walnut st and chestnut st between broad and like 20th st. Theres some good stores and a few good shoe stores. Theres alot of good places to eat right in that area too.

Definitely trying to stop at great food spots. Visit good attractions (aquariums, museums, etc.).

Going to be with my girl, she's going to want to do a lot in the few days we'll be there.

I dont know where yous are thinking of staying but Center city is progably the best for yous, everything is within walking distance. Center city is where the museums are. All within walking distance of each other. If yous like Italian food, Maggianos is amazing and its downtown too.

My Recommendations for Philadelphia, all located in downtown #1 (Center City) -- downtown #2 (University City) or Camden waterfront

Great Food Spots: 

- For a tourist, you can't go wrong with a Stephen Starr restaurant; there are 19 of them in Philly, every type of food you can imagine, all decent quality. http://www.starr-restaurant.com  

http://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/

Hit up Reading Terminal Market  for food (Over one hundred merchants[sup][1][/sup] offer fresh produce, meats, fish, artisan cheese, groceries, ice cream, flowers, grilled cheese, baked goods, crafts, books, clothing, and specialty and ethnic foods):

- Max's is the truth!  However, Max's is WAY North of touristy Philly (accessible via the subway, though, for the adventurous tourist -- It's a block from Temple University's campus & on Philly's main street, Broad St. (12.6 miles long) so I wouldn't say it's unsafe)-- we (locals) call the area Ghetto Times Square

.  Max's won #1 Philly Cheesesteak from Playboy magazine, last year.  It's more of a hood type steak -- that's a compliment.

  Real / O.G. Philly; not tourist / gentrified Philly.

- There's a new guy with a similar hood / gentrifying hybrid type feel to Max's on Broad St. closer to downtown (Subway accessible) in a rapidly gentrifying area.
