Hiya folks - well you catch up with me from sunny Malaysia where I am currently on holiday! What an amazing place!
Its as different as you can possibly get from Phnom Penh, Cambodia - yet a stones throw away.
Its a thriving metropolis here. Various skyscrapers, fancy cars, trains, proper roads, swimming pools, pavements all crammed into tiny little streets. Even with all this the atmosphere is clean, lively and friendly.
As soon as we dumped our bags in the Hotel last night at 10pm, we headed back out into the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur. Everywhere near our Hotel as something going on in the street, pavement restaurants, shops, massage places... its all happening here. We found a small pavement cafe, and sat down to Hong Kong Dim Song. Beautiful, fresh cooked food!
Strolling around the brightly lit streets we then came across a live band playing, so sat down to listen and shared a "hubbly-bubbly". Not nure if this is the technical name or not!! Basically it looks like something you shouls be smoking serious drugs from - like those big pipe things? Theres a water container at the top and flavoured coals at the top (we had apple), you breathe through the long pipe, through the water (hence the bubbly!) and breathe in apple flavoured smoke (no drugs, no nicotine!) - then y\do your best Puff the Magic Dragon impression by billowing out gigantic puffs of smoke out your nose, mouth, straw etc!
This is all for now though folks, later on today we're off to Kinabalu to see those big hairy orange Orang Utans - bye for now!!
