Selamat Detung Well just another noisey, smelly, overcrowed city, but it has to be done!! We’ve had major problems with the camera, so it seems that K L should be the place to buy a new one. After debating, and comparing prices, we bought the newer version of one that's just failed, I really would have liked a SLR, but the prices weren’t competitive enough!! Everyone told us that KL would be the place to do any shopping we have, not that we need anything or are able to carry any more!! However the few things that we did price were not any cheaper here. We’ve done the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower. At the KL Tower we took the option of a free nature walk, a very BIG mistake, as this was the ... read more

Well after a very eventful flight over I was finally in Kuala Lumpur airport. The flight over was ok flown from Gatwick to Dubai then to Singapore and finally LK.I sat with 2 very interesting people on the plane. A young Indian guy called Ben on the first flight then a teenager called Edgar from Euganda. He was going to Malaysia to study for 4 years and has never travelled before. He also had a culture shock with the type of food that was being offered, as it really wasn’t what he was used to. He was a great guy and enjoyed passing away the flight time with him. I arrived in KL airport in the early hours of Sunday morning and was shattered was greeted by a very smart Malaysian man who got me a ... read more

Heya guys, heres the second chapter of tales from Malaysia. Had a fantastic time last night, the guys who own the hostel cooked up a great dinner for the irish girl, claire, whos birthday it was.

Just a quick note before we run out of Malaysian Ringitts for the internet. We spent two night in Kuala Lampur and head out tomorrow morning for Myanmar. We've gotten prepared by getting $100 US bills which we've heard get the best black market exchange rate in Yangon...should be interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we'll have internet or email while we're there so check back after 6/26 when we get to Bangkok for a post on our adventures in Myanmar. The highlight of KL was going up to the sky bridge in the Petronas Towers...the 2nd tallest buidlings in the world - and Mike's favorites. We were initially disappointed when we arrived to find out that all the tickets for the day had been given out already. We dejectedly talked to the head usher and ... read more

I have arrived Malaysia alive and well. It is definitely quite different from Japan. At the airport it feels like arriving in India. No pics yet. Just did a little exploring last night and today we are heading off to Melaka. Not much to say, really just letting everybody know I arrived. Our hotal last night was awesome. We stayed on the 18th floor and it was nice to have a big bed. Check you guys later.... read more
