Truly Asia

Managed to get the "Malaysia, Truly Asia" slogan stuck in my head which is everywhere here as part of their big tourism push for 2007 with 50 years since the country became independent.

Baku Caves

Took the bus to the Baku caves on the outskirts of the city which is really just one big cave, albeit a large one, containing a number of Hindu shrines.

The mainly Hindu pilgrims visiting the site made a change to the mostly Buddhist areas I've been to although one guy decided to bring along a few pets, a reticulated python and a huge iguana for some Kodak moments, with a price. It was the resident monkeys though that stole the show and just about anything else that was not securely fastened.

Lit Up

The main bus terminal in KL is more of a cattle market that a station probably not helped much that everyone and their iguana seem to be on the move for the holidays. With Malaysia not having a single national bus terminal you are faced with tons of competing companies with 50+ counters to choose from all vying for your custom with only one company having been recommended to me by the hostel owner and it didn't even go to Melaka.

Obviously not having learned my lesson from the last cheap watch I got in Bangkok which lasted as far as the swimming pool on Koh Tao I ended up buying an even cheaper one in the Chinese market with the hope it would last longer than the time it probably took to make.
