New Pudu Backpackers Kuala Lumpur

... a bird park, butterfly farm, etc. We had to catch the trains to get there, and then spent ages walking around trying to find the park. We could see it – but just couldn’t easily get to it because of the major highways that we had to cross, or because of the barricades. It wasn’t the kind of park that we expected where you could just arrive at the edge and walk through it. It was really designed for cars where you would drive from place to ...

... loytyi kivuttomasti eika liikkuminen muutenkaan aiheuttanut harmaita hiuksia. Petronas Twin Towersia kaytiin taas ihmettelemassa seka Jalan Masjidissa kokemassa Intialaista atmosfaaria. "Family Reunion" konkretisoitui kun Hanna talsi KLIA:n kaytavilta ensimmaiselle Kaakkois-Aasian vierailulleen. Kuulumisten vaihtamisen jalkeen otettiin vaaria Madventuresin mottosta "Kunnon kuositus on Madventuresin suositus" joten kunnon kuositukset ...

... out of the sky. Needless to say, we didn't. Of all of us, Sam handled the flight the best. Every time there was some turbulence, he shot me a smiling glance as if to say 'How about this for a theme park ride?''.

Our roommate Cassandra is also going to join us. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

... found a fountain in the city to sleep by. Went into the planetarium and some strange extra-gravity room.
Met some Kiwi guys and went to this "British" Beatles bar and sat around the table on cusions. Free drinks all night. Again. Backcombed my hair into a massive afro and got chased down the street by a little boy who like ...

... trip to Bangsar had to be roti tisu - a sweet bread that's pounded and pulled to be wafer thin, then rolled into a cone and frosted with sugar - for a couple of reasons. For one thing, the crispy bread seemed to melt away into buttery smoothness in our mouths.










For another, ripping apart and eating a giant sugary wizard's cap (see below) is just too ...

... not, could not, stop at any other place. Although it would be a good little place to get souvenirs, I didn't want to deal with these people. And I'd been carrying my purse tightly in my hands the whole night since I heard pick-pocking was big in that market.
