Pacific Regency Hotel (Superior Suite) Kuala Lumpur

... Tennis saw 4 matches including Montfils, Gasquet and Isomin. Not quite the atmosphere of Wimbledon but definitely excellent tennis.

... to Chinatown and almost did not recognize Jalan Petaling. There were so much more stalls set up, so much sheer merchandise for sale, so much more people and in my experiences, the prices were higher too (at least the starting prices). I talked long-distance to my family back in Toronto while I was making the rounds, asking them what they wanted, and ended up buying a fake LV wallet for my sister...
