Kuala Lumpur at last!

Saturday Night

We finally made it to Kuala Lumpur today! Yay!

So some background info: Kuala Lumpur is in Malaysia. Actually, most people around here call it KL for short, so I will also resort to the abbreviation. Malaysians speak Malay and I really have no idea as to how much English to expect everybody to know and understand. Malaysia is a predominately Muslim country, though it does not restrict other religions. Another big one in the area is Hinduism and probably Buddhism after that.

If you read my last post, you will know that we were supposed to arrive in KL Friday night, but we missed the flight and had to take one this morning instead. We made it to the hotel, a Hilton, though not the one my dad thought we were staying at. It was close to lunch time when we got here, so we decided to just eat at one of the hotel restaurants. They had this buffet… it was awesome. They had Western food, Indian food, typical Malay food, and other Chinese/Japanese selections as well. There were also a lot of good bread, soups and fruits. So good! Besides that, they had desserts! All types of strange looking little cakes, chocolate fondue (for the fruit), ice cream and shaved ice!!! Yummmmy! Needless to say, we stuffed ourselves.

 We took the LRT (Land Rail) into the midst of the city after a brief resting time (okay, okay, I conked out for almost 2 hours!).

We went to Petaling Street, this area where venders line up as close together as they could get and sell you all types of goodies. I GOT SHOES FOR 3USD!!!! Oh yeah! We also each got a pair of sunglasses!... mine are Louis Vuitton… or at least that’s what they say they are. Lol We got some Satay from a local vendor, later made a pit stop for some sodas at a grocery store, at McDonalds for some ice cream, then back on the LRT to the Hilton. Whew! Might not sound like much, but it was an exhausting day!


So tomorrow we have a tour lined up of KL. We are supposed to visit these really old caves and some of the tall buildings and stuff! Will let you know how it goes! :)
