After a short two-hour flight from Thailand,

we arrived safely in Kuala Lumpur.

We checked in at our hotel to relax after the trip.

On the morning of our first day in Kuala Lumpur, I went down to enjoy the breakfast provided by the hotel.

After that, I met my husband's friend, who kindly brought us a thoughtful gift - kopi luwak, the famous civet coffee from Indonesia. @macchiata She was so warm and caring, making us feel truly welcome.

Later, we had a lovely photo session with our professional photographer friend. It has been almost two years since we last met, back when he visited Thailand. He's still as kind and friendly as ever, and these photos are such a wonderful keepsake from @louis88.

After that, everyone headed to Chinatown. In the evening, I joined the welcome dinner held by the pool at our hotel.

These are the adorable souvenirs we got ! I really appreciate the thought and effort that went into every detail - such a lovely way to start the event.

It was a wonderful gathering where I had the pleasure of meeting new friends, including a lovely guest who shares a passion for healthy food and travel: @aswita

She gave me a souvenir - a Ulos wallet that showcases traditional Indonesian design. How lovely and thoughtful of her!

HIVEFEST Day 1.

It was a pleasure traveling with such a talented and lovely lady to the conference. I truly appreciate your kindness, generosity, and warm support - and thank you for the tasty salmon jerky as well @crimsonclad!

We enjoyed various conference in a beautifully restored old cinema - RexKL, with its impressive stage and lively atmosphere.

There were plenty of delicious foods and fun activities during the breaks, including a friendly dart game .

Upstairs, I discovered a charming bookstore that instantly captured my heart.

It was such a cozy and peaceful space - the kind of place where l could happily spend an entire month just reading and relaxing.

The day ended with a fantastic party hosted by a talented DJ .

Complete with great food and drinks. It was the perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable day - full of energy, laughter, and wonderful memories!

At the party, I also had the pleasure of meeting new friends - a lovely young lady from Indonesia @viviehardika and @ninaeatshere who kindly gave me cute WorldMapin stickers. It was such a sweet gesture, especially since I often share posts featuring WorldMapin.

Looking forward to seeing you again in the next episode of ChainCulture!
