After a thirteen hour Air Asia flight complete with no entertainment units, faulty chairs and left over air Canada storage units, we were thankful to fall into our plush 4 star resort bed. We were so happy with our room complete with skyline view of Kuala Lumpur (KL), that we spend the rest of the evening watching the thunder storms roll in. We only ventured out once for a traditional Malaysia style dinner of noodles, rice and questionable looking meat.
The next morning we had our fill of the free buffet style breakfast (travelling 4 star is brilliant; I don’t know what we’ve been thinking for the past 2 years!) We then headed into town on the monorail destined for the twin towers. Unfortunately, we zigged when we should have zagged and ended up missing out on free tickets to the sky bridge. Which crazily enough sells out at 8am most days!? We quickly rethought our plans and decided to head into China town for some lunch and a bit of shopping.
China town is amazing! It’s quintessentially Asian! And I love it! We started off wandering through the main stretch where we strangely began to see a pattern of items on offer in the long parade of stalls (DVDs, watches, clothes, shoes, DVDs, watches, clothes, shoes, DVDs, watches… you get the idea). We then headed towards the Central Market, briefly stopping to refuel at one of the crazy deep fryer carts that line the streets. After playing a quick game of charades with the owner we settled on a crab stick. In the Central Market you could purchase everything from chopsticks to satin pillow cases to fish tank massages. Crazy stuff?!?!?! You place your feet inside the tank and basically the fish pout and suck the dry skin from your feet!!! I’m afraid to say that I chickened out and we left the Central Market with our dry skin in tack! We ended the day with a lovely dinner of duck with noodles and sweet and sour pork down on Bintang Walk.
Our final day in KL saw us wake late, but not too late for the free food ;), then head into town for a look around the designer shops. We had one last feed at Bintang Walk before heading out to the airport for our Perth bound flight, excited to be heading home.
