We were up at 4:30 am, wondering what excitement was happening 15 floors below our window - police car? crowd? Just one of the local popular clubs letting out!! Well, we were wide awake, so we updated our records, checked emails, etc. Walked out and bought SIM card for Jean's phone so we could have GoogleMaps and never get lost again - all for only about $20.

After breakfast, headed East to Ampang to search out small park known for birds and monkeys. Not quite what we expected 😞 but everyone you ask for directions or info is very helpful, if they speak English of course. We chatted for a long time with this family, who explained that the park had seen better times. A few families were still enjoying the stream but no jungle walks. Still, we espied a bunch of crazy monkeys and were mightily entertained!!

Returning home we realized that we had failed to bring our car charger for the phone so once again faced returning to the city without GPS. Unbelievably challenging...to our sanity and marriage, but we prevailed and eventually found our way. No lunch today except for the fantastic pressed pork slices Joseph and Anita gave us.

Napped and now watching the exciting Olympian badminton semifinal competition between the Malaysian and Chinese men. Evidently Monday will be a national holiday if the Malaysian wins the gold. We will walk out for dinner after - 9 pm is not too late for this city!!
HE WON. THE CHEER FROM 15 STORIES BELOW COULD BE HEARD. YEAH!!!!
