Kuala Lumpur


Yesterday, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur. The flight was pretty nice and the train over to our hotel was really convenient. I am impressed with the public transportation here and the modernness of the city. I guess that I was getting too used to Thailand.


After checking into our hotel, we ventured out to the KL Tower, which is the fourth tallest communications tower in the world and has the highest view we can see in KL. It was a great way to get our bearings and check out the city. I'm amazed at all of the tall buildings here. Aside from the tower, they have a little animal and reptile area (all the mammals seemed to be from North America though), a pony ride, and an F1 car simulator. Nothing was that terrific, but they were still fun.


We walked all over the place in the evening and found the Indian part of town, where we picked up some grub. Later, we checked out Chinatown and Petaling street, where there are a million merchants all selling the same cheap clothing items, hand bags, and sunglasses for prices that warrant bargaining. It was kind of fun to walk up and down the street and see what they had to offer.
