Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia
After Singapore we took the bus to Kuala Lumpur (KL), the Malaysian capital. We stayed in the hectic Chinatown area where the hostels are cheap and the streets are busy with food stands and cheap bags, watches and belts. KL is altogether a fairly hectic city which mixes clean, super modern buildings and shopping centres with bustling markets and vibrant Indian, Chinese and Malay food and cultures. The Metro trains here are small and crowded and the doors slam shut in less than a second and without warning which Holland found out first hand when he got his arm slammed!
Holland has a friend from university, Reza, who lives here in KL and who kindly showed us around for a week. We have been treated to a tour of KL that you can only get with the locals. We were taken to all the best bars, restaurants and all in all had a great time. The food here is absolutely incredible, blending mouth-watering Indian, Chinese, Thai and Malaysian styles. We have eaten the best and cheapest meals that either of us have ever had in our lives.
During our time exploring KL we visited all the tourist attractions and during one of the frequent thunder storms we even saw the Petronus Towers (the tallest twin towers in the world) struck by lightning.
Reza and his friend Fido took us for Sunday swimming in a rainforest river overlooked by a waterfall which was great. At one point the strong river current nearly swept Reza away and Holland heroically jumped in, but not to save Reza, rather the beers he was holding, thankfully both beers and Reza were fine. Unfortunately we also met the local leech population here and we both ended up with a few leeches on our feet (yuck). Afterwards we all went to a restaurant where we were totally spoilt by Reza and Fido who insisted on getting us to try all the yummy local dishes on the menu.
