Kuala Lumpur


As usual we’re behind on the blogging front so I’ll give a quick update of our time in Kuala Lumpur. We had four days in the Malaysian capital relaxing after our energetic stint in Borneo and hence our main activities were strolling around the city, eating lots of top Asian food and relaxing in the hostel (as well as watching a lot of world cup games!). The Petronas towers are probably the city’s main ‘attraction’ so we headed there one night after an Indian somewhere in the Little India district. The towers are the rather grand headquarters of Malaysia’s national oil company and used to be the tallest skyscrapers in the world until Taipei 101 was built in 2004. They look quite impressive at night (and very high!). We also went to several markets and food courts as well as a gigantic electronics mall and made some essential purchases for our travels (new mini rucksack and external hard drive).




We’re now back in Indonesia again - this time in Sumatra. We’ll probably update the blog with our first post from here in the next day or so!
