two days in a row with no rain, i love this town. We hit up the Petronas Twin Towers yesterday. They only allow so many people up onto the sky bridge, which is kind of nice. You get ten minutes, but there are only about ten of you, so enough time to get a great view and some nice photos. There is a five story mall on the first five floors so we walked around there and even went and saw a movie. Four Christmas' for $2 US. It was arctic cold, happily i had my sweatshirt along with me. We laughed outloud.
Today we took a stroll through China town, had some food, your choices are pretty much Indian or Chinese, i think we had closer to Indian food. We then walked around and found a Botanical Gardens and a, bird sanctuary that we did not want to pay to get into and an Islamic Arts Museum. We paid to get into this for two reasons, one was to get out of the heat and the other was, we have no idea what Islamic art is. Geometry, beautiful designs where you at them and think, 'How in the hell can they do this' then it shows you some complicated geometric formula and wah-lah mathematics the root of everything.
We are staying in a dorm with room at a Hostel in the India part of town, this is why all the food we find tends to be Indian. We are paying $4.20 for a bed. The first night the guy above me talks in his sleep and yells out in French. I did not mind too much since i have always kind of liked the French accent. Now i have a German kid above me and he also talks in his sleep, like full on conversations with himself. The two accents i never cared much for are Israel and German, so his coughing and yelling does not really lullaby me back to sleep.
We leave for Langkawi in the morning, we are talking about maybe staying there five or so days then flying East to the Perenthians? these are islands on the Upper East Coast of Malaysia.
here is a link to some photos so far. There are some shots from New Years Eve and a Wedding i went to before flying over here.

About Me
- travelwithbon
- I count fish for the Fish and Game Dept. in Alaska 3 months in the summer. I do the same sort of thing with Coho Salmon in Eastern Washington, the other 9 months. I have done nearly two years i a row of this 'Full Time' work, but i am seriously considering going back to seasonal and taking three months off in the winter to get back into traveling more. I love thrift stores and i love to travel. If i could travel the world and go to every thrift store my life would be complete, a nice girl by my side would make it all the better. i also dabble in clay character building in my spare time. I'd like to one day be on a sailboat, sailing and diving around the South Pacific.
