First week in Malaysia

Hey all!

So it's almost been a week in good ol' M'sia (Malaysia). The flight from Singapore to KL was really short.. 30 minutes as I recall? Pretty much listened to like 4 songs, filled out the customs card and bam - landed in KL.

Was a bit confusing at first because I thought KLIA and LCCT were the same thing, but apparently not. The budget airlines land in LCCT, and you walk from the airplane to the terminal. Anyway, that was that.

So Malaysia is a place to eat and shop. Beware - if you have a sensitive stomach like mine (hyperacidity), Malaysian hocker food is delicious, but very oily.. and it is hard to find fruits and vegetables, except in the supermarket.

As far as touristy things go, so far, we've seen Batu Caves (my second time), and the Petronas Twin Towers. Batu Caves is always cool to see, so that was fun. Petronas Towers were not that great in terms of an attraction, but it's something that everyone has to check off their things-to-see list right?

In terms of malls, we've mostly checked out Berjaya Times Square, Pavilion, and KLCC. Pavilion is mostly hi-end stores like Prada and Gucci, with some mid-range stores like Forever 21. KLCC is like Pavilion. Berjaya Times Square is huge.. 12 levels or something like that.. the first 4 are store stores, and the rest of the mall are those stalls like Burgis Street, where you can't try anything on, but stuff is realz cheap.

One crappy thing that happened was that I left my camera battery charging in my aunt's kitchen this morning, the day we were going up the Twin Towers.. so sad. We're staying 2 days at the Renaissance cuz apparently Malaysia is the cheapest place to stay at a 5-star hotel. Then we're off to Penang for 6 days.. so I gots to find me a camera battery and charger ASAPs!

Hmm.. what else.. oh public transporation is bleh here compared to Singapore. There are like.. 3-4 different transit types, done by different companies, and they only meet up at one point - KL Sentral.

Anywho, will leave you with some pics again.

Peace out ^_^
