Royale Bintang Damansara Petaling Jaya

Hi guys,<br><br>Got to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore on the overnight train. Arrived 2 days ago I think? We're staying in Chinatown so there's a market right on our doorstep. Tons of knock-off bags and watches and loads of pirate DVDs. Kuala Lumpur is a cool city, kinda has a lot of character although we really haven't seen too much of it. After spending so long in each place in India we're really eager now to keep moving along once we've seen a place ...

... abd some jewellery whereas jackie stocked up on jewellery and 6 fake designer bags haha... the shopping was amazing and fun!<br><br>we left for the airport and by the time we mosed around and brought some food etc... we had 5 minutes to be at our gate and usually for australian airports this would be okay... we forgot we had to get through immigration and it was the longest line!! so i went up to one of the security people and after he ...

... that Sarah told us we'd be going to was called a Kopi Tiam. The translation literally is "Coffee Shop," but it was so much more.<br><br>Check out our video of the kopi tiam!<br><br><br>I probably sound like a dumb tourist for being so enamored with what was basically a glorified food court, but hot danggit it was neat.<br><br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br >Basically, vendors rent out stalls ...

... Asia Café for lunch. Basically, it&#8217;s a bunch of vendors under one roof selling their special foods. I ate Nasi Lemak, which is a Malaysian classic. It&#8217;s made from coconut milk rice, peanuts, a chili paste, cucumbers, an egg, and chicken curry! It was sooo delicious, and it cost me $1.30 USD. This is when I started liking Malaysia J. I also got a local sim card and my number is +60 176632480, so Skype me if you want to talk! We then ...

... then off to the mossy forest (yep more trecking!) and we did see the most amazing sunset. Amy had told us we must try "steamboat" so we went off to the village and ordered it for supper - basically you cook the food in a bowl of steaming soup fondu style - the meat, fish and noodles were fine but there were a lot of things I could only identify as gelatinose lumps.

... but not worth 18RM - not for me anyway. KL is not somewhere that inspires exploration but it is an excellent city for shops, internet and generally sorting yourself out - call it a pitstop city. Go back?: I'm sure I'll be there again some day.

... Petaling. At night, these places light up with fun and frenzy as large throngs of frolickers fill the glittery hangouts found in them. <br> <br> Haven't experienced the nightlife in KL yet? You better try it. As night falls, you'll get to enjoy the different forms of entertainment in the glitzy bars, pubs and lounges lining the streets and also meet the most diverse assemblage of humans from ...

... are locked?" Shock. Raj: "How did you get here?" Ardice gloats. They are disbelieving when I tell them. Anyway, we wait until 8:30pm, but no teachers showed. So we run the films anyway. During the first reel, Shahar tells me all his problems. I finally escape before I strangle him to complete nothingness. Most of the rest of the evening is quiet. We finish about 11:30pm. Raj gives me a lift home on his motorbike.

... his daughter's return from Toronto.) After the manager came in to make sure that we were all happy, the first course was brought in by one of our two private waitresses. This course was appetizers -- small tuna-ish salads in lettuce leaves, mushrooms stuffed with something, ham slices cut into unusual shapes, deep fried prawns, de-shelled crab-legs wrapped in egg dough and baked -- and in the center of the serving dish sat a carving of a gold fish ...

We couldn't start rehearsal until 4:30pm today because the choir and maths were using the Hall. I had an excellent discussion with Punca, Dexter, Raj, Shan, Young Soon, and Shahareen in the canteen ... mostly talking about religion. When we finally got down to rehearsal, we had a great time ...
