... buffets so that after dark they can satisfy their hunger.
3. Due to Ramadan, the Malay Independence Day celebration was abbreviated. It was supposed to take place today, August 31. However, due to both Ramadan and Swine Flu (according to the owner of the hostel) the normal parade and other celebrations were canceled.
4. As typical in every Asian city, when entering a restaurant, they expect you to know what you want to order immediately and stare at you ...

... access to the Petronas Towers themselves was very exclusive - you had to line up as early as 6:30am to acquire tickets to the Skybridge - which were still limited to only 30 tickets a day! Fair warning if you’re planning on hitting up the Petronas Towers on your own trip to Malaysia.

We didn’t let that keep us from exploring urban KL, and instead we made do with wandering through Suria KLCC, the massive, six-storey ...

We got up reasonably early for our flight to Kuala Lumpur. Deang was hanging out looking a bit hungover in the foyer (if u can call it that) of the guesthouse. We got some pictures, said bye and where whisked off to the airport. The journey was very smooth with not much to report and we arrived in KL about 4 (5 malaysian time). We had prebooked a bus which took us to the centre (or one of the many centres of the massive KL). We made our way by LRT train to Pasar ...

... a tout va... alors un petit tour et puis on s'en va!
On va se promener dans un parc qui abrite une multitudes de centres culturels, un planétarium, des tas de musées et surtout un parc aux oiseaux et un jardin d'orchidées. Nous avons passe plusieurs heures a observer des oiseaux tropicaux dans une volière géante. On a passe en revue le catalogue des perroquets et autres volatiles aux noms étranges mais aux couleurs éblouissantes ! Nous finissons par la visite du jardin ...

... not live without on this trip it has been my laptop! Almost all the places I have stayed have had great WIFI access and only in the most remote parts of the world like Sipidan have there been no internet connections. When you are really in need of a family member there is nothing quite like your Skype to get back in touch with them.

Travel Tip #5
Don't schedule too much... most Asian countries don't run on time schedules.... so don't ...

... is the way stuff at the cinema should be!

Day after that we got the hop-on hop-off bus. Which takes you around the town and stops ant certain places and you do as it says. You hop-on or hop-off. Managed to get around to the towers again, the kings palace, independance square (has a cricket wicket and pavillion around it) and also went to the lake gardens, which is a big park in the middle of the city that you can forget that you are in the middle of one of the biggests ...

... a bit judgemental but the Thais do lie a lot to tourists and we'd all seen the note..so i threatened to call the police. I rang the tourist police who said that we should contact the local police and when i asked for the number they said they didn't know..well that really fills one with confidence doesn't it?! What is the bloody point of giving us this number telling us we'll be looked after if the people at the other end have brains the size of peanuts?! The bar staff then told us to ...

... from starbucks we headed home to get ready. So to dinner, we had decided that just for tonight we were no longer backpackers but real people who were clean and did not live out of a backpack, so we headed for a tapas bar and two bottles of nice wine, ah civilization where have you been these last 3 months! So after dinner and feeling a little tipsy we got in a taxi to Zouk club the biggest club in KL, unfortunately what with dinner and the wine and the entry into ...

... we took our filthy selves back into the city for a much needed shower. We decided that our next stop in Malaysia would be in Batu Ferringhi on the island of Penang, named so after the penang or beetle nut which some Asians mix with tobacco and chew to put a little lift in their day. After we had come to this conclusion, Tone checked his email and discovered that his parents had booked a last minute trip to Malaysia and were heading to Batu Ferringhi. It couldn't have ...
