Festival Fun in Kuala Lumpur: Photos 21 to 39

November 6th 2005 by Eggs on Legs
Hi all
We’ve been in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for about 1 week now, and under normal circumstances that’d probably be a couple of days too long. However, we had a few matters to sort out which took longer than we thought (rescheduling flights to Aus was one thing) and given that we had found an excellent 5 star hotel for only 25 pounds a night - and the weather was behaving itself - we agreed to hang around here and do what we needed to do in this relaxed environment. We are also right across the road from a shopping centre which has a Delifrance with free Wifi connection - ideal given our latest gadgetry purchase of a new laptop. Well, you know how it is when your husband is a tech head - it would be cruel to separate him for too long from the other women in his life (Miss Internet, Mademoiselle Software installation and Mrs MeltyourbrainwithotherultracomplicatedITcomputerstuff). Breakfast doesn’t come with hotel price, however we’ve been tucking into lovely croissants with jam and a freshly brewed coffee each morning over the road, while we check our email and see to our business.
While we’ve been here

Hi,
Hope you had a good time in Malacca. The 'durian' picture is actually not durian, they are jackfruit. Durian, I know kinda smelly, hehehe...but they are spiky outside.

I really enjoyed this post, very informative.
I'm hoping to relocate to KL later this year so your blog has helped me understand a little more of KL before I get there.

Stairs up to the BATU caves.
There are, conveniently, some more stairs inside. Check out the fat boy at the bottom.
Nice Hindu lady inside BATU caves.
She must have been totally knackered after that climb. We were, but this lady was not even breaking sweat!
Soldier on horseback outside the gates to the King
The King's palace was a tad boring due to the fact that you can't get in to see it. All you get is a view through some gates up a road, but the soldiers outside were very striking in their finery.
Joss sticks at the Chinese Temple.
They have a wonderful aroma which fills the open area of the outer temple.
Just painted by hand
Batik painting ready to come of the stretcher to be made into a lovely sarong. We went to the Batik factory after the BATU caves and Shaz got a crash course in how to tie a sarong in the most convolu... [more]
View of KL Tower
This was taken from the grounds below, where there is also a hilly rainforest-esq walk. Signs tell you to be watchful of scorpions, snakes and biting insects. Yikes!!
Peacock detail, Bird Park, KL
At the Bird Park, there are loads of peacocks stalking around freely in the grounds, quite tame. We saw a number of them courting, and its amazing. The males vibrate their beautiful feathers at the f... [more]
Shot of typical kitchen in Chinatown restaurant.
They cook all the food to order - and we haven't had a bad meal yet.
What's that smell......?
No, not Motherwell. This is in fact a Durian fruit stall. Apparently it smells like a dead body or big poos when cut open, but it's supposed to taste really nice. We have decided not to try it (coupl... [more]
Shaz and chopsticks
very proud of herself for managing to maintain correct use of the choppers even after a few Heinekins.
