I disagree with the other two in regards to Thailand. I went to Phuket and it was a fantastic place. I would NOT, however, go to Bangkok as that is where the problems are. You can get to Thailand by land, but I'd suggest air. If flew from Kuala Lumpur (roundtrip) to Phuket for $170USD. We stayed on Karon Beach which was nice and far enough away from the 'tourist area'.....yet it was close enough (10 mins by cab) to that area for shopping. You can buy silk dirt cheap there (suits, shirts, table runners, etc) and the clothing can be custom made within days for very little (shirt $25/suit $100-120, etc). If you make it to Thailand, you need to go Elephant Treking in Khao Lok (about 1 1/2 hrs north of Phuket). It was an amazing adventure.
In Kuala Lumpur, shopping is great (street markets)! They do have original products, but a lot of the knock off are pretty well made (just have to be careful). Any type of food you want is available....especially in and around The Petronas Towers. (The towers also house the KLCC Mall). When in KL, I stay at the Crowne Plaza Mutiara. The service, rooms and food are top notch. It's walking distance to KLCC and the Convention Centre which houses the AQUARINA (a must see if you like aquariums....it's amazing!)
The bus from Singapore to KL is approx $45 USD and takes 4-5 hrs. It's a pleasant drive, food is included in the price, they stop 2-3 times for comfort breaks and the bus I took had a tv in the lower lounge so we could watch a movie or two. Flights are faster (45 mins) but I've not done that so can't give you the price. The local 'cheap' airline is AirAsia....so check that our. They have another new airline but I don't recall the name.
In Singapore, you HAVE to go to SENTOSA ISLAND. A cab ride to the bay isn't very much...then you ride over on a SKY LIFT which is awesome and you can spend the entire day on the island........the activities there are numerous AND there is a beach....it's really, really, nice!!!!
If you have 15 full days (excluding travel to/from where you live), I would think 3 days/3 nights Singapore.....1 travel day to KL.......6 days/5 nights Kuala Lumpur.....1 travel day to Thailand......4 days/3 nights Thailand.
DON"T TAKE CHEWING GUM into Singapore (it's against the law). If you smoke, don't take more than a few packs of cigs into Singapore as you aren't allowed (they'll destroy them at Customs). As far a KL and Thailand, there aren't many NO-NO's.....KL is VERY hot and humid (acutally Singapore and Thailand are as well).....and most days have 30 mins or so of rain......(unless it's monsoon season!!)
There is so much I could tell you but then I'd have a novel going on here....so hope that this has helped! ENJOY YOUR VISIT!!!

Which City is better? Redding, CA or San Luis Obispo, CA?
Korey
My wife and I live in Washington state. We're looking for a city to move to in California. She is a hair stylist and I wait tables. We want a good place to raise a family. Redding And San Luis obispo are the two places we've been considering.
We're looking for good weather, low crime rate, good schools, and a decent cost of living (considering our professions) I'm an ultra-runner, so trails are important to me as well.
In your opinion, which city is better? Any other suggestions?
Thanks :)
Answer
There is really no comparison. San Luis Obispo is awesome. Redding is hotter than hell in the summer. The cost of housing is likely to be higher in SLO. Santa Maria is probably less expensive.
San Luis Obispo is a college town. The beach is about eight miles away (Avila Beach). The Five Cities (Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano and Shell Beach) are about ten miles south of SLO and you should consider living there too.
There are plenty of trails in the area, including a lot of trails on the Cal Poly campus.
