We are safe and sound in Malaysia. The weather is great, nice and sunny all day long and into the nights. We are staying with a couchsurfer who also has a swimming pool!
So where should i start...
We left Singapore by train and arrived into Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 6 hrs later. You would think that it would be a long and boring train ride, but to our surprise, we were fulling entertained with a movie on the train. And it was no ordinary movie, it was none other than, "A cinderella Story" with Hillary Duff and our very own, Chad Micheal Murphy. Who would have thought that while on a train in Malaysia, we would be watching "A Cinderella Story." Which is a great movie by the way.
We arrived in Malaysia late at night and was greeted by our Couchsurfer Rodna. She's Indian-Malay, working full time with Nokia, living with her two cousins, and a true believer in the idea of Couchsurfer.
So far, Kuala Lumpur is pretty much like any other big city in a third world country. We have been to all the typical tourist sites. On our second night here, we attended a Malay Couch surfer meeting where we met some amazing locals as well as other travelers. We met this one guy who started his own IT business in Malaysia but after taking a vacation trip to Cambodia, fell in love with that place, and just recently opened up his own school in a rural village. It is amazing the people that you end up meeting and the experiences you encounter when you just open yourself up to the world.
Anywayz, this is all for now.
Take care
Love,
Alice
