First, J had meetings in KL, so I thought, heck why not, air fare was so cheap, the airline had a promotion for S$1/way, I kid you not, with S$35 in taxes, I would say it would be wasteful to not take advantage of. From Singapore to KL is a mere 55 minute flight away. Malaysia is an Islamic country, but also has great diversity. It was neat to visit mosques and different temples. The standard of living is much lower than Singapore so things are much cheaper, and the food is even better than Singapore, in my opinion! Public spaces and amenities aren't as streamlined, almost reminds me of China with a middle east feel. Here are the pictures to do the talking...
Saying hello to J's colleagues at the hotel bar
Patrona Towers from our room
Dinner at Tamarind Hill - Burmese & Thai fusion. Yum!
National Mosque staff fitted us for our robes to enter the mosque. I had to cover my head, J did not have to.
We also visited a Hindu temple
Since the Hindu temple was around Chinatown, we took a stroll through Petaling Street, where counterfeit goods filled every vendor's booth. Then we saw 2 trucks arrived with at least 10 cops confiscating the goods booth by booth. It was quiet and solemn, they must have taken at least 1000 purses.
They will probably end up at the cops' wives
After walking around for hours, we each got foot reflexology massage for $15/hour. Complimentary, was the fish spa, which I was NOT a fan of. Here's Josh getting ticklish -
We returned to Sing on Saturday, and less than 48 hours later, I was getting on the plane again. Next stop, Beijing!
