Another impressive guest post: This time by the fabulous Sabi, aka my little sis! Enjoy her account of just one of the many adventurous stops on our South East Asian tour so far! Thanks for sharing Sabi...
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (or KL for those who are familiar) - Day
18-19 (5/1/12)
As soon as we landed in KL, we were blasted with the 32 degree heat we had
been hoping for this whole trip. I took a bus & train to get to my hostel and as soon as
I arrived everyone was coming together to make plans to check out the local
pubs and entertainment for ladies night, which in KL means free drinks for the
ladies all night (Alberta should get wind of this!). I met a friend and we went
to the mall where upon entering I first saw all the independence bears, which
were each equally amazing for several countries. Canada’s looked like an
optical illusion once you took a picture of it. Other favorites were USA`s statue of liberty bear and the Irish bear, decked out as a giant leprechaun. The malls
were so big and filled with really familiar stores like Zara and Sephora. We went
out for the night having lots of fun with the temperatures staying right around
26 all evening. The owner and worker from our hostel took us all out to hit their favorite
spots, ensuring that we all had a wonderful fun filled stay. We went for some fabulous noodles (when in rome!) before calling it a
night.
The next day went to
see the beauty of the Batu caves, which was the light at
the end of the tunnel, the 400 stair tunnel to be exact!! It was quite the trek in the heat, and since it hasn’t been
that hot all trip it seemed like somewhat of a shock.
There were lots of
monkeys running freely so we put our sunglasses and water away just to be
sure they wouldn`t get a five finger discount, as they were snatching at people and grabbing food and bags. They were
really entertaining to watch fly around so fast and carefree and the babies
were so adorable.
Bet he`s eyeing up my shades right now |
We then headed out for some street supper- where I have
become addicted to banana and coffee flavored milkshakes so I had my fix before heading off to the local shisha hot spot. We walked to the twin towers at night
and they were amazing. Lighting up the sky in perfect design, it was a
great way to end the night and quick trip in KL. Great time with some new
friends!
Until next time…

Great post Brina!! I am loving following your travels! I wondered about those fancy bears. Ladies night sounds like a riot there ;) Any special ingredients in the shakes that make them so good? I always think of the time you were in Mexico when I think of monkeys now.... I bet Mom would advise not to touch them, ha ha! Keep the blogs a flowin... xo Meliss
