Dinner (korean food)Dinner (korean food)Dinner (korean food)

Fantastic food!!!!
Hey people!
So here I am, in the big city Kuala Lumpur! I arrived here really early this morning!
The first plane I was on for oslo - vienna was a really tiny and shitty plane, it had two seats and TWO rows! Do I need to tell you guys that it was really little space there?
But it got better when I got to vienna (after running everywhere,30 minutes late) to find the next entry! It was a huge plane, I sat next to three nice girls the whole trip (11 hours) and they were going to Sidney!
I arrived Kuala Lumpur 6am and the first thing I noticed after getting lost in custom-baggage-people kaos: it was like breathing fire outside. I didn't even feel the smoke.. Got a taxi after much "taxiii?taaaxiiii?u want taxxxiii?" and got to the hostel!

The hostel is really nice with friendly nice people. I have my own room with a lock, and I even have my own madrass on the floor lol! I was going to sleep when I got here but that never happened!
First I started talking to some people here and we went out to eat. There is this great

..where you can check your weight..
place nearby that makes the best korean food ever! (which I have never tried before) I almost ate myself to death - it was so good! A girl here is from Korea so she taught me how to eat the food right lol.. After that we got lost in this really really big mall,I swear we couldn't find the way out! We walked around the area and such, after that we went to some theme park 1 1/2 hour outside KL with bus. Kinda disapointing, we were denied access to the casino too! Tips: Do not attempt to enter a casino without proper dressing. There is a million rules for entering the stupid casino thing...The starbucks coffee was great though ^^
After returning to the town we went in to chinatown and man,that shit is plain crazy! People shouting out for you everywhere, trying to make you buy their stuff, lots of EVERYTHING you might (or might not) need.. after that we got lost again. Well,atleast i'm getting a LOT of walking out of this lol!
It is so hot here too and humid, it is almost not possible to walk for long in the sun without some shadow.. it

the mall was huge!the picture is dark but i took one anyway!
smells special, like flowers and cars.It smells sweet and dirty! well you can hear the cars from a mile away,they fucking hunk all the time at eachother. I have now learned how to cross the road while the traffic is moving fast :p tips: run and pray you don't get hit by a car!

I have made reservations here to tuesday, I'm craving really bad for some beaches so I'm gonna move my ass out of Kuala Lumpur then! I have already maxed out my daybudget after my first day lol.. I have taken some pictures but I will edit this page and add them later so check in tomorrow or monday! Feel free to write meeeee you know i love you guys :D

Well gotta go now,time go to out and drink beer before I pass out ( i have slept 4 hours in like 2 days or something) Loves ya and take care 😊

Eating Chinese
Hi! I am doubt the food is chinese. It could be either Indian or Malay food. The food in front of your Korean friend could be Nasi Lemak(Malay food - eaten by all races).The latter picture shows tandoori chicken (Indian food)and Roti John (from the sign) is Malay food. You could be at a Mamak (Indian Muslim) stall who sells varieties of food. Sorry if I am wrong. Hope you have a good time here.

Love Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is a nice place to visit, esp the food. Only thing that needs to improve is the public transport & cleaniness. Moer Ahmad www.mytravel22.com
