Legend Hotel - Kuala Lumpur

... to go back to the Twin Towers tomorrow and visit the Sky Bridge.
Sorry no photo's today the PC in ...

... Tonight I'm going to dinner with Mark and Lori Swift. Then
tomorrow a local guy from training is going to take me out to some non
touristy places so that should be hilarious. Friday during the day I'll
be in the office doing radiation refresher course ****.



If I've nothing to do till my heli travel passport comes (5-10 days)
I'll probably go kill a few days in Langkawi Malaysia. Google image
search it and weep. I won't because I'll be too busy getting ...

Well, I have been down to Chinatown, Little India (well, I could see it at least), the birth place of KL, and to several local places pf worship. Not a lot to say, but here are the pics of the adventures! Off to China tomorrow and there will be questionable internet capabilities. Will post when I get home or if there is an internet cafe. Enjoy!

... each per night not bad.
We then hoped on a tour bus and went to the Patronas Towers.
Unforntunately we couldnt climb them as they were fully booked so we
headed to the Sky tower instead. The view from the top was pretty
amazing. A shame it was foggy though so couldnt see very far out. We
then went into the little reptile park at the bottom and ...

... some kind of problem with the sensors because I'm obviously ill! Shelley gave me a look that said " Malingering git!" The only rational explanation I can think of is that the camera was fine tuned to pick up swine flu and not the far more serious and notably deadly strain of Man Flu! Our first stamp goes in our Passport and after picking up our backpacks we get on the Skybus service to KL Sentral train station. At the station we caught the monorail to near where our guesthouse ...

... for a bus into the centre, so we picked up a couple of tickets and headed for the centre. We had already made reservations for a cheap hostel in China Town, so once we arrived we got on the metro without any hassle or haggle for a tuk tuk! That was quite refreshing! We made it to our hostel, which I have to say, first impressions reminded me of walking in the stairwell of an NCP carpark after the weekend, however ...

... run as soon as I've put them in for a wash but we'll see. Very early start tomorrow so I'm going to get an early one tonight. Massive protests in Thailand at the moment with the army and police on the streets trying to quell down some supporters of a former PM who want the current one to resign. I sure know how to pick my moments. But that's in Bangkok and I'm not heading there just yet. And it's easily skippable if it's still flaring up in about 2 weeks time. Fun times.

... we had left London early in the morning and our bodies were expecting night. It seemed as though two days had just been glued together! Our connecting flight to Kuala Lumpur was short without the aid of any in-flight entertainment- we started our descent into the city literally ten minutes after take off. All we could see when landing was miles and miles of Palm trees, stretching out as far as the eye can see. This is my favourite thing about the ...

... You have a great view of the city (especially my beloved Petronas towers) with binoculars (you could even see people working at their desks inside them!). In the evening we watched Slumdog Millionaire. Finally we found it and absolutely loved it! Great movie!

We really enjoyed the diversity of Kuala Lumpur. You are a few metro stations away from totally different worlds. You get in crowdy Chinatown and got off minutes later in a super modern neighbourghood!

... the strong antibiotics and painkillers. After a day in a nicer hotel, we took off for the Perenthian Islands on Malaysia's east coast. The Perenthians were beautiful and had the cheapest dives for like 20 bucs. There was an awesome wreck dive there called sugarwreck, which was my best dive to date. It had an open space under the water where you could take a quick breather and talk about the dive. Really awesome Dive! Next we took off for the Taman ...
