oops, my hour is all spent, and I forgot to write ;) But yeah, not much to tell. tomorrow I'm off to Melakka. Today I was just loafing around, not doing much. Rainy day here, in Kuala Lumpur.

It was so nice to be back in a city again....well for the first 5 minutes! We arrived in KL in the late afternoon and really liked the feel of the place immediately. It's so interesting to see the ethnic diversity- Indians, Malays, Chinese and varying degrees of Muslim. All seem to operate independently but mingle freely. The night market was ju...

Today was the start of the second course, but luckily we had the morning off. After arriving from Singapore at 3:30 a.m., it was nice to be able to sleep in. At 3:15 we met at the U.S. embassy for a briefing from the heads of the political, cultural and economic sectors. It was pretty interesting to hear all of their points of view on what's hap...

Got the overnight train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur last night and have hit the jackpot with our hotel - unfortunately the hotel had run out of the city view rooms we booked so we've been given a complimentary upgrade to a room with a full view of the Petronas Towers. Check out the view from our room in the photo album - AMAZING!!! Julia x

Well, after almost 8 hours overnight on a Boeing 747 (with Malaysian airlines...nice!!!), we are here for 18 hours in Kuala Lumpur. We have a room to recouperate at the Pan Pacific Hotel (again VERY nice!!), and are enjoying the favourable exchange rate for the last time in a while!! Levi is having a ball, and sleeping remarkably well considerin...

It was quite a shock to go from the jungle to the bright city lights of Kuala Lumpur - especially getting a first glimse of the huge twin towers - the tallest ones in the world. We travelled via slow local buses so didn't get in until about 10pm - but China town was still alive with fantastic smelling food stalls, fake cloth stalls and lots and ...

Greatings all!!! We made it!! It has been a long 38 hrs! we arrived at 3.30 this morning and were in our room by 6.00, so i think that is pretty good time!! It was pouring with rain when we arrived, which may have kept the temp down today, but the humidity is through the roof. Its fine if you sit still, but the second you move you are covered in...

Hola todos Escribo muy rápido, porque quería narrar mis últimas experiencias. El viernes fuí a la mezquita más antigua de Kuala Lumpur, fué increible, apenas iba entrando y un viejito musulmán se me acercó... yo juraba que me iba a decir que no podía pasar dentro del templo o que no traía la ropa adecuada o peor.. que no podía tomar fotos.¨Pero ...

Although we'd heard otherwise from some people, we found KL an interesting place to stay for a few days. It's really quite a modern city in many respects: architecture, westernisation etc, but with a very mixed cultural background. This meant that you'd see extremely modern buildings right next to very old and ornate Mosques and English colonial...

We were unceremoniously dumped on the side of the road outside the bus station as we'd gotten to the point where we could walk in the heat of the mid-afternoon sun quicker than waiting for the glut of busses in front of us to clear. Didn't want to go to the bus station anyway. We soon found out the the rumours about Kuala Lumpur were true - ther...
