a couple days in KL and back to KK

back in KL, didn't do much. Did some laundry went to the movies $3 to Bedtime Stories, a waste of $3 if you ask me. Ate some weird foods on the street. I seem to alway pick the weirdest looking dishes and most of the time they are not very tasty, so i end up getting something else. One of these times i am going to find something that is out of sight good, just not yet. The food here is set up like all pot luck style. You get a plate with rice.I always ask for less rice and the end up giving more rice. Then like a cafeteria line you go along and pick out what you want. Lately i have been sticking with some sort of friend chicken in some sort of saucey soup. The spicey honey red sauce has been a favorite. Sometimes i get a piece of fried fish, that tends to taste like it was cooked a week ago. They do not have much of a selection of vegies, usually saucey onions or way salty collard greens. I go for the greens and a pineapple shake for my vegi intake.
Josh wanted to go to the gym in the Petronas twin towers one day so i walked around town and found the central market. All over town there are guys with carts selling cut up fresh fruit for $0.40 a bag, so i eat a lot of pineapple, mango and papyas. At the Central market i found a funny little spa treatment. There is a big pool with seats around the pool, you take off your shoes and hang your naked feet in the pool. The kicker is the pool is filled with little fish that nibble on your feet. 5ringet, which is a couple of bucks. the guy selling tickets said that they are fish doctors to heal all your aliments? I thought i would go back and grab Josh and we would give it a try. When we came back we both decided that since we had both recently cut big chunks from the bottoms of our feet while in Koh Lipe, that we should probably keep them clean and away from any fish spit. There were two Britts with their feet submerged and they said it tickled so much that they could hardly stand it.
We went to the airport in KL to meet Josh's friend Lori. It started to rain and by the time we got to the airport it was dumping. At one point while waiting in the lobby, a big flash of lightning went of and then a huge thunder clap. So loud that it set of thirty or forty car alarms, the whole parking lot was beeping and honking. We met Lori and then all three of us flew back to Kota Kinbalu. We are now waiting for my friend Ann to fly in tonight, but i think her flights were delayed to where she may have missed a conection, so it may be a couple nights here in K.K. Soon we will be flying to the east side of Borneo, the town of Semporna to go and dive Sipadan and Mabul islands
