Malaysia - “I’m not going on any rides”


Well week one in Malaysia was an experience. Living in the Bronx otherwise known as Chow Kit brought about a delicacy of Malay foods and an introduction to rats and cats... We arrived at our hotel to find we were the only Westerners staying there, but that did not deter us from making the most of our sight seeing opportunities. Setting out on foot to explore the city (somewhat dirty but interesting), we sweated it up while seeing the Twin Towers, KL Tower and its accompanying cultural centre. Gerard even got up on stage to join in the traditional dancing!! When visiting the tourist centre Bee decides on day two of the trip to notify Gerard that she will not be partaking in any rides, of any sort (should have told me before we left!)

Highlights included the mona-doh otherwise known as the monorail and ‘Dr. Fish’ who ate the nasties off of our feet - needless to say that they had a feast on Bee’s big stompers... Maybe also the 1 ‘Ringy’ beers that were only 1 ringy after a first beer at a steep 30 ringy! Sucked in! Needless to say we got our money’s worth and didn’t quite make the soccer.
