We got up and packed our bags. We then went into chinatown and got some food. I had some sping rolls as i couldnt stomach the local food that early. We then got a train to bugis and then walked to the coach station. Loaded our bags on the coach and then we were off. I loved singapore it was a very tidy and colourful place, im not sure what the style is though. It's pricey and very westernised, like London only a lot more tidy and colourful really and a lot hotter although as it only got up to like 34 degrees i was lucky really. The locals ask you to buy things but they are not pushy so a politful decline is all that is neccesary.

Anyway, the coach to KL was like 7 hours but we had an air con coach with plenty of leg room so was good. Had various stops on the way. We had to stop at one place were we had to show our passports and then get back on the coach the other side. Then we went through customs into malaysia usual checks, got our visas sorted etc then back on the coach. As we went through malaysia it was nice to see some country side. Miles and miles of funky trees on the way. So some small monkeys and some goats. Ben seen a massive lizard which i missed. As we came into KL it was back to City life.

Ben knew where we were so it was a short walk to a hostel he stayed in before. Got a room for three nights which cost 54 ringott (5 to the pound) so worked out as 10 quid for three nights. We were paying 10 quid a night in Singapore so definately cheaper here. We dropped of our stuff in our dorm, dorm is much bigger than our last. Big open room with loads of beds. We then went and got something to eat. I had sweet and sour chicken and we had a few bottles of tiger. Forgot to mention before but eating with chopsticks is not easy, kind of getting the hang of it now. Luckily you get a spoon as well lol.

After we got some beers and chilled at the hostel. Got chatting to some travelers so we went out with them. I managed to get lost but found them eventualy. Stayed for a bit but was tired so went to bed.
