... we wouldn't look at sober, vomiting and p*ssing in strange, imprudent places, then feeling ill the next day while we boast about it?
Asians have Temples, Meditation, Tradition, and follow Gods (capitalised to show importance).
Our Temples are pubs and clubs, and our meditation comes when we go out and buy sh*t we don't need, or when we are too drunk to think anymore!! Only some English traditions have survived, and usually only where the land meets the ...

... to see people on the streets who were miles away, it felt like I was in the film "Rear Window" or something.

After spying on the world below I went to the animal zone, a tiny zoo with exotic animals. There were some cool animals including a large Iguana (A daddy Marvin) and a reticulated Python among some of the animals. It was great to see such a variety of animals, what was not cool was the way they were in such small cages and one of the monkeys was out of ...

... br>towers to look for q tips, a cell phone, and whatever **** i saw. I got
q tips, an electric outlet converter, and an English-Malay phrase book.
I feel kinda dumb/ignorant not being able to say hello goodbye thankyou
where is in Malay. After the mall I went to find some food with an
american guy from the office. Funny thing is I met him in south Texas
on a rig I was working on. He was the salesmen. So when we walked past
each other in the office we said ...

Hey... Elodie writing!! Sarah's taking a break! So here we are in the Capital City of Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur... or to sound more local "KL"!

We've spend two days here and started our evening with an amazing view of the Petronas Twin Towers, 88 stories high connected by a skybridge on the 41st floor. We then walked back to our hotel with a stop in a street full of bars and clubs with a buzzing ...

... mould. Tracey was awoken at 5am by someone either trying to escape, or drunkenly coming in from a night on the town, and then again at 7am by the washing machines starting up (our room was positioned next to the laundry area). By the time Dean awoke, Tracey was up, showered, dressed, packed, had eaten breakfast and was frantically checking the internet for other places to stay. It was fairly safe to assume at this point that our days of staying in ...

... br>through Asia back to Germany. This was one of the most down to earth,
confident, open, and graceful individuals I had met in my travels, and it was a
pleasure to learn so much from him and enjoy a laid back evening in this
Malaysian town.

Taman Negara and the Jungle Boat Ride!
You even been on the Jungle Boat ride at Disneyland? Awesome isn't it. I
wanted the real thing. It would be a 3 hour journey on a narrow river boat up

... take pics and a Malay couple who insisted on giving me their Friendster account. I took a walk to a crazy-looking tree-stump with lillypads water fountain and then made my way by skytrain via Pasar Seni to KLCC.

When I arrived there, I was originally told it was already all booked. But then, I got the lucky last ticket that someone had cancelled at 4:00 and was able to do the free bridge tour when I arrived. I got AMAZING pics! I ...

... exhibits were pretty poor, though, and were badly photocopied images that were hard to see and read.


As you ascended each floor, the AC seemed to get lower and lower until the third floor where it was nonexistant and you were sweating just standing reading. The other floors didn't really have too much to offer. One area focused on the different kites that were made and flown around and yet another focused on tops and showed examples of tops that were used in a very ...

... well known around the world as maybe The Hague or Canberra - The Hague being the Seat of Government for the Netherlands while Canberra is a proper capital but it is a planned city just like Putrajaya. On the way back I went an extra stop along the local railway system to the Masjid Jamek. That was a pleasant mosque with hordes of Muslims seemingly lying around on the marble floor. I thought they were in prayer but one guy was lying on his back reading a newspaper held up ...
