So here we are... day 2 in Malaysia. In true backpackers fashion... we are in an internet cafe in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, trying to plan the next leg! Of course my husband is doing all the research as I do important things like check my email, update the blog etc! =) Gotta love the guy!
Literally in the past 2 days, we have just walked, ate, walked, ate and slept! Who would not love a life like that! KL is known for its food for sure, and Felix and I were definitely up for the challenge. Yesterday alone, we had 7 meals. Yep, you read right. Where-ever we went, when we needed a break, we'd park our behinds and eat! There is such a range of yummy foods here, for a number of our meals, we just ate in the outdoor food stalls on Jl Bukit Bintang... from Chow Kueoh Teow, to beef and chicken satays, to fresh wonton mee. Alex emailed me, and said... its a great thing that Felix is getting all this food, and can fatten up, however me, on the other hand... not so good! I will simply justify this, by saying we have walked a hell of a LOT! Hmph!
The sites have been diverse as well... we went to see the infamous Petronas towers, both in the daytime and at night. We visited the KLCC Suria mall which is the most incredible mall... and shoes at a serious steal. Too BAD I am backpacking, otherwise I may have bought a couple pairs! Chinatown was chaotic and crazy... but not as insane as the local bus station. That place is a zoo.... We even went to the National Museum today to get out culture and history fix!
So my first time in a guest house... recommended by Sumit... Number Eight and I have to say its comfy and relaxed! We didn't manage to get a room with a attached bathroom, so going communal has been an experience for me for sure. You know me... I am quite the princess when it comes to that... but when the urge to pee comes at 3 am, I just wake my hubby and he escorts me to to washroom. Thank goodness.
Next stop is Cameron Highlands... a completely different place from KL. I hear its all tea plantations, and a place of peace and tranquility! Looking fwd to a break in the pace. Even though this is only leg 3 of many!
All is well... and we're happy and full! Hope you are great and know that we miss you guys. I knew I would find homesickness a challenge, and everyone where I go, certain things remind me of you guys, and I wish you were here with me... =)
Take Care!!
PS We visited this amazing Aquarium... and Felix was little boy in a toystore. Here is a link of the underwater bridge and the marvels of the sea.
