kuala lumpar

the first thing we noticed about kuala lumpar was the heat!!! It was intense! Very hard work.

we managed to get a great place to stay. The coliseum- an old run-down hotel which looked straight from a graham Greene book! Downstairs the pub was full of old men, and the guest book looked like it was about 100 years old. All faded wood decor and high ceilings...Really cool.

we headed out for a walk, and in search of an internet cafe to try and meet up with Becky and Chris, which got too much after about 10 mins...way too hot! And right on time we spotted b and c right across the road! How's that in a city the size of kl?!

we headed for a drink and some cool air in a bar nearby to catch up. Ended up staying for quite a while cos an amazing thunderstorm started-loads of lightning and loud crashed as it hit the buildings, and torrential rain. As well, we got given vip tickets for that night at the bar, with dirt cheap drinks. Later we all headed off to a bar which had 'ladies night' on. It was quite dreadful- so trying to be glam, but girls got free drinks and we all got free food, which was so good. suchi, salmon, pakoras and stuff. We went up several times of course ; ) . When the music got too bad to bear, we headed back to liquid bar. We knew we had these vip tickets but I have never in my life had such amazing treatment in a bar. Seemed we were the only ones with these tickets as well. We first got a lovely polaroid of us in a frame, then they were constantly coming over bringing us drinks, and general being really nice, and we even got free champagne! Was a great night, dancing and everything. So much fun!

also went up the petronas towers which was pretty special and to a few nice parks. Its a really fun city. Lots on and the skytrain is amazing! We said goodbye to the others which was really sad. Will miss them, but it wont be long till we see them again so that's good news!!

we spent the last night in the airport, and slept pretty well actually. Somehow, we STILL ended up running through the airport to catch our plane to the Philippines. We hadn't accounted for the 50 million people at immigration- argh!!! But, we made it. We got our flights free a few months ago, with air Asia. Don't ya just love budget airlines!!! So that's where we are now...and I ll tell you more next time. Bye for now
