Sleeping wasn't so great at the airport (see right), but Asty seemed to find it OK... i battled. It was a lengthy flight from MELB to KL, around 8 hours. Again, I battled to sleep. The flight wasn't too packed, so i was pretty jealous of the dude in front of us who had a row of 4 seats to himself!
We arrived in KL at 8am local time. By the time we got on the train into the city, it was 9. We checked into the Prescott Inn, but the room wasn't ready. I wasn't too phased, more relieved to just get inside an air-conned building.
We left our bags with the hotel and went to check out KL. We headed north of the hotel, towards Mederka Square. We decided to bypass the KL tower and Petronas towers, since we covered them last time. Our little venture ended up being a bit of a mish. We covered a lot of the city. Somehow we found Chinatown, so we checked out the markets and had a feed there. "Cheap cheap, you buy" and "Hey man, you want to buy DVD? Come check out my shop" were coming at us left right and center. The walk back to the hotel after Chinatown was a mission. After our best efforts of following our noses, we gave up and referred to the map. Turned out we'd done a few unnecessary sweaty blocks of walking, but meh, we had time. Also, i think we took sweaty balls to a whole new level...Anyways, we've just showered and changed (after a good amount of time in the same clothes) and are about to monorail out to Bukit Bintang for a look and a feed. Flying out to Laos tomorrow morning to start the real trip. Zul, our teksi driver, is turning up at 4:30am to pick us up.
nite y'all!
