Krazy Kuala Lumpur

Holla,

Im writing this after four houts sleep going to go off to the bus station after this to try and get a Bus to Panang so forgive me if its abit sketchy!

So last day in Tioman got up at 9 to get to the ferry at 10 got to Mersing on the mainland at 1 went to the bus terminal they said the next bus to Kuala Lumpur (KL) at half past. I had no cah on me though and needed to get to the ATM in town started to look for a taxi none in sight then suddenly a little indian man said he had a ticket I told him I had to get to an Atm to get cash so in a mad dash he said jump on his bike. So in classic frygos style jumped on the back of some random indans moped and sped into town for an atm. He pulled outside the bank but because I wanted to take out 300 ringit it had to be checked this took about ten minutes got the cash finally then back on the bike for a mad dash back to the bus terminal. He sold me a cheap ticket on a vip bus to Kuala Lumpur happy days. Got on their it was a muslim bus surrounded by women in burkas and guys in turbans I was the only white guy on their! I loved it though funky apolstry apolcolipto on the tv on my way to KL. Got their around half 7 jumped in a taxi and went to Chinatown.

Got to chinatown not a scoobie where I was lugging around my bag. I apoalise for no photos of the first night spent my last battery life in Tioman. Found a place recommended by a girl in Singapore called Le Village funky little arty place up the road from the central market in Chinatown. As standard dropped off my bag and headed to the first bar for a beer. This was the reggae bar where I met some random 52 year old ozzie who was shagging his was through half of asia and some random canadian. Stopped for a couple of bees then had a look around central market. Got myself some nosh round here (noodles standard) had a nosie round before hitting the hay after a hectic day of travelling.

Got up early had alot to do and see as didnt plan to stay in KL after today. So started by having abit of grub in chinatown having a nose round the temple before getting the LTr into Buta Butang (I couldnt say it for the life of me binbang I kept saying to the locals!). Again recommended this hostel called haven. Grabbed a starbucks frappachino (really got into them since Ive been away) then booked myself into a dorm in haven. Dropped of my bag and set off for a hectic day of sightseeing.

First off the pertonas towers jumped on the LTR to bukit nanas cant really miss the big things had a nose round but was too late to get up their. Had a random convo with a local mohammed whos daughter was going to study in Wales. Said to meet him back their in an hour after Id been sightseeing to speak to his wife and daughter about Wales? Would have as he was a nice guy but had a lot to see so headed to medaka sky tower to get some great views over the city. Got their amazing views over the city then headed down to the nautre reserve.

Christ started walking thinking this aint too bad before the giant warning signs about snakes spiders and scopians! Their were guided tours but I headed off one man was bricking it as spiders fell on me just thinking its a killer one and the noises - I walked pretty fast. Got to the way I went in on a rope bridge but got thier and it was covered in monkeys - shit what do I do I got to got this way to get back? This big one (they werte like the monkeys from the chemical brothers videao wheres your head at) just sat in the middle of the bvridge unflusters as I stood feet away and all the baby monkeys became curious. b It wa surreal I was fgeet away from them. Needed to get back though so approached the walkway - they started screaming at me in monkey im bricking it they were like a hands space away from me got past them I was buzzing with adrenaline.

Anyways no time to stop off to Meddacka Square where the english first landed in KL. Taking snaps round here the locals took a shine to me and had to pose in around 20 photos! All good fun though I can see how they thought I was a footy player in my spain top and my athletic phyisic lol!

After that back on the LTR and headed back to thehostel but got on the computer and the couchsurfers were meeting for tea in an hour. So got changed jumped on the ltr and headed about 40 minutes out of town for tea with a random group of prople id never met! This was cool met a real random mix of people met this geordioe george cycling round the world been doing for three years! As well as some locals, French, a belgium dude and a couple of chinese. They didnt sell any beer though and being friday I wanted to get my groove on so after a few hours headed back to the centre. It wa late though 10 by the time I got back to the hostle and booze is dear in Kl. So next door a random shop sold spirits (one of a couple of places I had seen). So a cheap bottle of torro whisky and coke slammed it for an hour before getting a taxi to zouk - the biggest club in KL. The gut st the hostel recommended this other place as well the lof so just headed off in a taxi half cut to some random club. Met a couple of ozzies had a beer or two but wanted to get my wriggle on now so headed from the bar next door into zouk. Three rooms but only one open playing RnB! - Screw that for a bag of nuts headed up the road to the lof met a couple of crazy locals with geeky specs and big hair got me in for free asaved me 20 RM! In their was crazy some dirty electro and indy athems - It was awsome. Also met some great people in their the main man was hakeem lived in KL what a dude sorted me out with jugs of mararitas introduced me to some girls he was top class. Also met some english expats as well as some great locals - It was rocking in thier. Outside met some suse from mancheaster who moved to Kl and told him about my trip then headed back in after a couple of seafood sticks. Up now after the most hectic day ever off to the bus station in Panang. Loving life loving you keep happy and keep smiling

Peace out - and good luck for the city
