Well, as it turns out, it isn't so easy to do a blog post in Malaysia...at least not in the places with sketchy wifi connections like we've been staying at. So' we'll do our best to catch up on the days since our arrival. It took us a while to settle in after the 30 hours and six flights.in fact, I would go so far as to say I was a bit ready to throw in the towel and come home- but I knew that I didn't really want to come home, either. I chalk it up to "travel fatigue", which can strike at any time.
Kuala Lumpur is a big, bustling city, and big cities require more time, money and energy than we realize.
That being said, though, we did finally find a groove and started to enjoy it. Shopping is big there, and they seem to have at least one of almost any brand name store you can imagine. I had fun browsing the art section of Kinokuniya in the mall under the Petronas towers. I also found a Muji across the street, while Jim watched a lively Chinese dance performance. We are NOT shoppers, but it was entertaining to watch the bustle around us, and we finally stopped for a big mug of tea at I heart San Francisco.
Our favorite place in
Kuala Lumpur had to be Bukit Bintang seafood street where restaurants set out tables along the street and you could stroll the street and choose a good spot. We lucked out the first night and had a fabulous meal of satay and noodles with prawns at a crowded place. So good that we went back the next night, as we are won't to do. I'm going to attempt to post this before the wifi goes away again...
