Weekend Review

Welcome to Kuala Lumpur!

What a great weekend. We all got back from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia late Sunday night. Couldn't have gone any better for not knowing anyone on the trip.

KL was an awesome city. Not quite as clean/nice as Singapore but a very cool place. We took the night bus from Singapore to KL and arrived at about 530 or 6am. We then hung out/slept a bit more at the pool of our condo for the wknd until we could go grab breakfast and see the Petronas Towers. It was a great view of KL.

After the towers we cabbed it over to the Batu Caves. The caves were beautiful. So many stairs to climb but another great view of Malaysia. We also got to see a ton of monkeys running wild around the caves. You couldn't get all that close since they've been known to bite and steal cameras... Pretty cool place though. Definitely interesting to see the shines.

Then we went and hit up Chinatown, also known as Petaling Street. The streets were just FILLED with stalls selling fake designer purses, bags, clothing, watches, etc. I just got a sweeet fake Chanel watch bargained down to 20 RM, $6 US! Probably won't last long but great timing since my watch broke on the way up to Malaysia.

Most of the group then went clubbing but me and two other girls just roamed the main road of KL (which our condo was right off of). Went into a few bars and had a killer dance party at one of the plazas thanks to some guys playing Rihanna and Britney Spears. Such a funny place.

As for Sunday we just hung out by the pool and then went on the world greatest indoor roller coaster at Time Square mall while the rest of the group slept. We we're all expecting it to be pretty lame since its indoors but were pleasantly surprised! We were only able to make it on the ride 3 or 4 times since we had to run and meet up w the group to bus it back to Singapore. Butttt the ride was a blast -- fast and even spun a few times. HIGHLY recommend it if you ever find yourself in KL! (Just a note, the guy at immigration told me he threw up after...so i wouldn't underestimate it! :)
