... they say the diving/snorkelling here is among the best in the world....<br><br>night 3 - after a balcony pre-party and dinner, we headed to the only big bar on the beach where the owner had promised an all-night beach party for his birthday.....<br>Long story short,..... we drank lots of 'monkey juice' (a local mix of rum/whiskey) - had great fun dancing like idiots together, and with a lovely English couple, Joe and Emma.... <br>after a few hours of this..... a drunken brawl ...

... buffets so that after dark they can satisfy their hunger. <br>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. <br>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 ...

... I chose not to think too much about what happens when the last visitor leaves for the day. Th**e could only be one reason that kittens w**e being kept in cages inside a snake house. I could not int**vene, cats h**e are not kept as pets, they are stays and th**e is an awful lot of them. Even if I had paid the guy money to take the cats away they would only have been caught again the following day with the same consequences. That is to say if what I thought ...

... this time. Next stop, Central Market and Petaling street. I took some time having lunch and shopping, so I said goodbye to Samy here and got out. Took a stroll around Central market, bought some pressies, headed to Petaling street, had some great roasted goose at the stall right opposite the food court. Took some pictures of the wet market and some people. <br>Then I hoped on another cab at the taxi stand at Jalan Tun Cheng lock, headed to Menara KL ...

... had a great live band. <br><br>The next morning I met my recently arrived friends for breakfast and then we were off to see the Patronus towers and check out the city. We had a pretty lazy day which comprised of hanging around the shopping mall, eating more "good" American food at Chili's and having a few beers to cool us down. That evening we managed to hit the same sushi restaurant I hit the night before (you can ...

... I'll leave it to your imagination what those cats were doing in the cages too, but I like to think of that store as a chicken/pet store.<br><br>Onto KL. We got there around nightfall and did the usual taking pictures of hte Patronas towers tourist bit. Then we went to find a place to eat and our hostel- &lt;Combo Guest House&gt;. This is probably the worst place ever to stay- the place was sketchy.. or rather "dodgy", the bathrooms were weird.. the place ...

... nothing compared to Bangkok. The prices are more expensive and the selection is different. They do have Westerner stores but often have only Asian sizes... for example their extra large is the equivalent of a US size 4.... Im not kidding. So buying clothes here is absolutely impossible unless you buy something imported from the UK or USA. Yesterday I spent a really long time looking for a new bikini as mine isnt fitting properly after so many ...

... moving. Great. Of course it was moving now. This was the part of traveling I hated: all these lines and getting through security and all that. I had lost my patience so much that I actually refused to be at the back of this new line and went back to the front of the first line since all the people knew I had been there and were happy to give me my spot back. There was just no way I could wait any longer. A very sharp contrast to how smoothly things were run in Singapore. Kuala ...

... and invited me to their house for lunch the next day, as they had a sister moving to Manchester soon, and wanted me to talk to her. Having watched the Jim Carrey film "Yes Man" a couple of days ago; the concept of the film is say yes to everything, and even bad situation will lead to good ones later on. I decided that spending a few hours with some locals could be an interesting day, so I said I would meet them. The showed me where the cinema ...
