Kuala Lumpur


Kuala Lumpur 25/10 - 29/10

After staying in beach bungalows for the past 16 nights, an air-conditioned room with a hot shower and satellite TV was like being in the twilight zone! We stayed in the heart of Chinatown between 2 major market streets where bargains were there to be found. The relaxed East Coast Malaysian vibe seemed to disappear and the local hawker stalls with dollar signs in their eyes took over. To sum it up, we dined at hawker stalls, browsed the new-age shopping malls complete with rollercoasters and fun parks, and sweated our way through city humidity. Back to civilisation!

MAJOR HIGHLIGHT - Going to the movies for the first time in ages. 2 tickets, drinks and snacks =10 auzzie bucks........ 1983 prices and loving it!

HIGHLIGHTS -

- Watching Liverpool v Arsenal fight out a draw. C'mon the Pool!

- 4 officially sanctioned 'No alcohol' days - gotta be some kind of record!

- Free meals and welcome drinks at the Swiss Inn.

- Internet access for the 1st time in 2 weeks (It's a sad life we lead!)
