Arrived in Kuala Lumpur a couple days ago. Let's just say, the recommendation given to us to eat only live, so un-cooked food, for three days, didn't last long in this place.
We're staying in the Golden Triangle, so the ritzy area of the city, but our place is far from that, but it works for us. Went for our first run of the new travel plan that includes excise and all is starting out well. Spent the day yesterday in and around the Central Market, an old market converted to serve the modern day tourist. The entire city, in fact is very modern in comparison to others in the region; however, it does maintain it's old world, and especially colonial charm. We've both agreed that it would be a great place to live.
Malls with more than you can get at home, delectable food and culture make a great city.
Today we queued with the touring masses in order to take a look at the city from above, 170m up on bridge between the Petronas Towers. After that we enjoyed a gorgeous banana leaf vegetarian curry, which set us back about the equivalent of two pounds fifty. Basically, they just bring out a banana leaf and pile it high with an assortment of curries, chutneys, papadams and rice = awesome.
Now...it's raining, so most likely off to the movies we go!
