Mint Hotel of Kuala Lumpur

... and eventually using an empty luggage (bugger cant think of the word) trolley thing as stability control to get me there.

Yup you guessed it. Food poisoning, mustve been that blasted Macca's in Bali. Big Mac = Big Trouble. Anyway that managed to fill in the next 4 hours, so it all worked out rather well in the end. So now, we are back at the bus station, preparing for our real journey to begin, and not entirely sure of what city we'll be staying in tonight ...

... y bulliciosa, tiene una rica mezcla de estilos arquitectonicos entre los que destacan los de influencia morisca y los de estilo Tudor. Por supuesto, el edificio mas destacado son las Torres Petronas, siendo coronadas como las mas altas del mundo, pero por poco tiempo.
Nuestra visita ha sido unicamente en la city, visitando la plaza de la independencia (Datran Merdeka), la sede de las cortes (Sultan Abdul Samad), edificio molt bonico. Las ...

... about the space-race, the worlds largest free flight aviary (from the outside) and many other landmarks, all of which suggesting the Muslim nature of the inhabitants of the city to us. Many towers and buildings were built in Moorish styles, the domes and the cupolas dominating the architecture of the centre of the city. We got hit by another monsoon rain in another observatory in the planetarium, so we watched as its rage swept over the green and the tall and the religious ...

... thinks he dropped it in the car but couldn’t see in the dark. In the end the taxi driver wasn’t very happy and we just had to run away.

The next day was a bit of a quiet one. Albert flew out that arvo but as I was down saying goodbye a guy I’d been chatting to at the pool the day before said they were heading to Jimbaran and would I like to come along. So it was goodbye Albert hello Jamie and Camille. We went and had a seafood feast for kings, just in time to ...

... on another movie and our own individual popcorn! We also found the best Sushi bar on the top floor, which had an interactive menu for ordering as well as the cheapest Sushi.

On our last morning in KL we went over to the Petronas Towers and got our free tour tickets to visit the sky bridge. After an explantory 3-D film of what the Petronas Towers were all about (Head quarters of a big Petroleum company), we were then taken the 170 metres up ...

... since 6.30am.

Although we had the last laugh when we were offered some tickets by a guy who had booked a big group but had some spots left.

Nevertheless, the view, while quite nice, was not worth such an early rise, although the novelty was traversing the skybridge (just half way up the 88 floor towers). The 3D(!) infomercial for Petronas (a large oil and gas company) that we were subjected to was less inspiring although its similarity ...

hi my little fellow aussie friends,

we just spent a day in kuala lumpur and weve been pretty flukey with our flight timings... our first flight from darwin to singapore we were late too. we walked through to the duty free shop and were looking at ipods when one of the workers yelled for us that we were late... then announced on his radio that he "found another two" haha... the flight wasn't too bad. we arrived in singapore and i ...

... extensions of a bigger company. They're run by the very people who make the food, who are passionate about their dishes and the keepers of a secret family recipe. No angsty teenagers out to make a quick buck here; only real, dedicated entrepreneurs who cook delicious foods for passers by.

We sat down and were greeted by a nice lady who took drink orders. According to Sarah, this is the ...

... later in the day, till the clouds grew gray overhead warning us about an afternoon rain. We stopped to give a couple little puppies food that we had brought them since Suzanne had seen them the other day. One of the puppies was so skinny though we were afraid at how much food their little stomachs could handle. That puppy started having problems and puking up white foam, a sign of rabbies. There was nothing we could do for it, even if we wanted ...

... night.

Ryan wanted to walk around the city a bit, so we decided to walk to Times Square, which is a big shopping complex set in a nice, pedestrian area of KL. The walk wasn't that far, though it felt further in the heat. And the area around Times Square was really nice to see. Times Square was a little underwhelming after the Thai megamalls, but it was interesting to see the indoor rollercoaster.

Next we took the train to the Islamic Arts Museum. This was by far my ...
