V noci a nadranom ma zobudili trtkajuci ludia. Nieco po 930 vykopanie sa z ubytka a tak ako vzdy ranajky v zapadnutej ulicke, masaz noh pod komixovym muzeom a oddych v bambusovom domceku. To posledne sa vsak nekonalo. V parku kopa ludi s detmi. Vacsinu cinania. Vsetky 4domceky obsadene. Koncim teda v jednom altanku. Free wifi uz neni, uz je spoplatnene, co mi skrizilo trochu plany. Co som sledoval tak par parov s detmi tu malo najatene zvacsa cinske opatrovatelky deti. Po relaxe, obed vyrieseny v cinskom food courte oproti mhd bus stanici. V beef polievke bolo minimum masa, som cakal viacej. Ubytko vyprazdnene. Trochu spanku, po ktorom pada rozhodnutie, ze kupim novy telefon. Smer western union v kotaraya mall. Odtial este pomotanie sa po okoli. V jednej ulicke zdarma rozdavali oblecenie. Takze v kl sa ... read more

V noci som si musel zvysit teplotu na ac z 21 na 22 bo mi bola zima. Rano pokus o ranajky na miestnom trhu. Tu vsak ziadne hotove jedlo. Len surove ryby, kurata, zelenina a banany. Nakonec kupujem v indomarte plnene buchty. Docapovanie vody na ubytku do malej nadoby a objednavka grabu na letisko. Gojek stal dvojnasobok 21k. Prichadza motorka avsak s inou spztkou ale pohoda. Nasadam a uz ideme smer letisko. Mlady sofer ide tuto trasu asi prvykrat, bo nevedel ako sa berie parkovaci listok. Vyhadzuje ma na parkovisku pre motorky, ukazuje na parkovaci listok, no davam mu len prachy podla appky. Okolie letiska sa preraba, robia tu novu cestu a zacali stavat daku budovu. Pred mesiacom tomu nic nenasvedcovalo. Tentoraz neni problem s mobilnym listkom. Aj s vodou prechadzam sekurity a uz som na ... read more

Na to, ze je toto party hostel to bolo v podzemi kludne. Ono vsetci boli hore a dole sa chodilo fakt len spat. Dnesny plan tak ako vzdy botanicka zahrada a bambusovy domcek. Laundry podla recepcnej na Jalan pudu, tu chceli 10rm/kg. No vedla kfc na rovnakej ulici som nasiel pracovnu. Pranie 5 a susenie tiez 5rm. Oproti penangu je tato stara a treba si doniest prasok na pranie. Ziadna obsluha tu neni. V posledny den to tu teda otestujem. Na ranajky klasicky u inda s pojazdnym stankom. Rekonstrukcia nadchodu co spaja vlakovu stanicu kl a pasar seni uz pokrocila do finalnej fazy. Pekny moderny nadchod. Chuj som sa vsak nevybral po nom ale siel som popri poste. Dojdem za nu a tam mrezove dvere zamknute. Tak zas nazad a po zbytocnom zachadzani sa vynaram pri ... read more

Sunday, 20th January 2019 I've requested a visit to the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) this morning. R was pleasantly surprised that I had wanted to pop by to FRIM as part of my tour. This was where he had spent much of his childhood days whenever his family wanted a picnic excursion. We were up by 6.50 am this morning where FRIM was just a short ride away from his home. It was chilly at this time of the day as we proceeded with our walk to the picnic grounds and waterfall. The air smelt fresh and the tranquil surroundings plus the huge trees made it a pleasant visit. After our huge serving of wanton noodles, we went back to his apartment to continue with our rest before heading out for a massage at ... read more

The last time I was in Kuala Lumpur, I was confined to a bed with a bad back for almost a week. We had to skip a trip to Borneo (Sarawak) to see the famous orangutans. I was happy to get well enough to fly home, after Sheri nursed me back to some decent functionality. I have since had a minor back operation, and no worse for wear. The main reason to re-visit KL is our friend Angela. She is a friend of a friend, Sohbee and Tom, now residing in Shanghai. She showed us around KL after Sohbee moved to China, after a short time in the U.S. Besides her skills as a chef and baker, she is quite knowledgeable about KL, and its finer (not necessarily expensive) places to dine. However, I would suspect ... read more
