I made it to Malaysia, on my third continent so far! Hard to believe that I am literally on the other side of the world to home. The time difference here is exactly 12 hours, which makes figuring out what time it is at home pretty easy! I arrived on Monday morning 27 Oct around 9:30. I have spent the past two days catching up with my friend, Erick Wood, from high school and I think we figured out that besides a couple of phone calls and Facebooking we actually have not seen each other in ...

Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia ajohnsonI can't believe it, but after 4 days of catching up on old stories and sharing new ones with Erick, shopping in Chinatown (tame compared to Egypt!), really good vegetarian cuisine in Little India, meeting more contacts for future traveling in Erick's fellow musicians, viewing KL from the Petronas and KL Towers, and lots and lots of high end shopping malls...I am leaving for Australia in just a few minutes and I can not wait! It is the one place that I wanted to go to more than any other and i...
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia ajohnsonSo Dad and I spent the weekend in Kuala Lumpar on the 34th floor of a pretty nice hotel - better not get used to get though - its return to the good old backpacers when we hit Europa. We basically relaxed in KL, dined in some delish places, including a restuarant with its own swimming pool in the middle of a jungle with monkeys (very cool!), eating at a local curry place off banana leaves and going to a crazy upmarket shopping centre that puts Rodeo Drive to shame (think big brand stores i.e ...

... up with him "downtown" he was walking around with Michelle, a Californian from Alameda. Small world. He took us to his favorite touristy place in the city, an old Dutch church up on the hill, St. Paul's. The church was mostly destroyed but its location is absolutely beautiful. You can see a good portion of the town, old Dutch buildings, what is left of a fort, and the harbor. We walked around a bit more and then Jimmy took us to a local specialty restaurant, Malaysian Satay ...
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia maam... see Muslim women with their whole bodies and heads covered climb on top of a horse to take a picture. <br><br>After the Tower, we boarded the bus and were escorted through various tourist attractions. We hopped off again at the "Times Square" of KL, a large intersection with high rises and flashing lights and massive billboards. We walked to the nearby mall, which houses an amusement park, complete with an indoor roller coaster. The rest of the mall was unassuming and ...
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia seasiabound... cooking styles and ranged from mostly spicy to surface of the sun spicy. There were some very tasty potato dishes, and the fried banana was fantastic. We both skipped the fish heads sautéed in chili powder, and didn’t care too much for the “jelly substance and corn and red bean and rose water and ice” dish. (Although it was not spicy, at least.) We did thoroughly enjoy the experience, however. We both made sure ...
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia bethere... the busy, aromatic, and claustrophobic China Town Market. During our one day in town we were able to see the diversity of Malaysia, which was a nice change from the relatively homogeneous populations of India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos. The Indian, Chinese, and Malay people in Malaysia create a mosaic of faces, food, culture, and smells. Not too much else to talk about, but we will be back.<br>
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia arikandcharis... I could have said something to them, ****ers [Tom: Rich said this to me on the bus. Then moments later, the guy started to squeeze my leg and Rich involuntarily burst into laughter - hypocrite! Haha] [Rich: I laughed very quietly, but it was mildly funny when he just grabbed your leg out of nowhere. The look on your face!]! Every so often the bus conductor walked over to him and tapped him ******* the shoulder, which seemed to release him somehow, and his ...
Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia cereal42... us. Our first stop was in front of the Palace of the King of Malaysa where it is guarded similiar to Buckingham Palace. Malaysia was born after gaining independance from England in 1957 but it took until 1963 for the 13 States to become the country it is today. Nine of the states have sultans and every 5 years a King similiar to the Queen is picked to rule. At the end of the 5 years another sultan is picked but the Prime Minister rules the country ...
