Kuala Lumpur - The Second Chapter

First off before I start to babble on about Kuala Lumpur, we would like to apologize for being crap at keeping this blog up to date. For now we will blame it on the netbook we use. As we have had to keep installing the OS system as it keeps dying on us.

So here goes.
The second chapter of the Busy Town Of KL.

This place is pretty god damn good. I (Aimee) would actually consider going there again but for longer. Maybe see if we could get a working visa for there? It will be worth a try wouldn't it?
Anyway after the buildings we went to see we decided to see what other stuff this concrete jungle had to offer. He found the KLCC Aquarium and spent the afternoon in there. When we got there the que was massive and was about to walk away until we seen the fast track que. As we had the metro/bus/train prepaid tickets we could actually use the fast track as the pre-paid card was for all differnt companies other than transport. We could use it at burger king, KLCC, nando's ect.

So we used the ticket to get into the aquarium. First tank we came across was the Paraná tank. Oh boy did them things look fierce.  

They really don't look all that on this photo really do they?

 We then noticed a child's touch and feel tank. Yes so me and the Newt's went straight over to touch and feel the fish they had in the tank.

Star Fish

Shark

Shark again

There was a sea cucumber but that just looked like a big turd, which kind of put me off from touching it. I began to feel like a big kid in this part of the Aquarium. As there was a tunnel children could crawl up and poke their head out of a glass thing to see the otters closer.
And I did what I had to and pushed the kids out of the way so I could have a go. (I didn't really push the kids there was no one else there.)

Aimee being a kid.
' Aww friends Otter friends'

This is the litter feller who tried to hump the lady otter right in front of my face.

This next photo is an animal i wouldn't ever go near, the wild. Never Ever Ever Ever. This bad boy could kill me with one shock. Yes it's electric I'm glad there was glass between us to.

You can't imagine this happy looking creature killed Steve Irwin could you?
[this is not the actual one]

Craig and the shark

Aimee and the turtle.

 We would of had more photo's of the us going through the tunnel but there was a foreign man who insisted of following they way we pointed our camera. We had more photo's of him than the fish. *DAMN YOU FREAK*

After The Aquarium we headed to the Reggae Bar, in china town for a nice cold drink and pizza. And strangely enough we bumped into a work pal Aimee used to work with as SBC a few years back.

Josephine and Aimee in KL 2010

The Reggae bar we was in had some very interesting picture's and signs.

In the next chapter of KL we will talk about food, and other shit.

Kuala Lumpur - The first Chapter

All in all we spent 15 days in Kuala Lumpur (KL). We stayed in China Town (Petaling Street) for the majority of our stay. China town was such a lively place to stay. Each morning stall sellers would set up their stalls at around 10am and then spend 12 hours selling their goods then at 10.05pm their stalls was taken down and no one could be seen just traveler's.

Every single day we was asked if we wanted to buy a DVD, or a purse or a bag. Every day they got the same answer. No!


Kuala Lumpur is an exciting city, there is so much to do. But you just have to search for it. On our first day we actually did nothing yes zilch.  As we had no sleep the night before as our plane set off from Phucket at 5am so we had to be at the airport for 2am. Thinking about it now we could of actually saved ourselves a bit of cash by not booking a room that night in the hotel we stayed at.

Around 3pm we went to search for Nikki and Ross (the pals we met when traveling through Thailand) turns out we was too hostels away from them. They had the nice hostel we had the dingy one with no windows in our room. We went out for dinner as they was heading to the train station to catch a train to Singapore, we had dinner and then said our good bye's for a final time. (This time it was actually the last time we would see them until we went back to England)

Petronas Towers During the day

Our second day was the day we went out and explored what KL had to offer us. We stumbled up on the Petronas Towers. These bad boy towers stood at 451.9 metre's (1482.6 feet). They are currently the worlds tallest set of twin towers. There are 88 floors in each towers, the public can que for one of the 1000's of tickets they give out free to go up the towers. But you are only allowed up to the 41st floor on the sky bridge. We didn't go up the towers as we was too lazy to get out of bed to get one of the free tickets.

We did go take some photo's of us at the bottom of the tower, and also did some shopping in the mall which is located under neath the towers.

Petronas Towers During the evening

We went to see another tall building called the KL tower. This tower looks taller than the Petronas towers but its not. It appears to be taller but the KL tower is built upon a hill. The KL tower is 421 meters high and only has 6 floors.

That's enough of tall buildings. Catch ya later

Phucket - Our last few days.

Guess what we forgot to do.
Take the camera out with us every time we went out. Phucket to us was like Blackpool crossed with Las Vegas.

Apparently this is where most people from Australia go. I don't see why tho as Phucket was actually a BIG LET DOWN. People told us how great it was and there was so much to do. But really it was the same as Bangkok but with a few more eye catching lights, dressed up men and ping pong shows.

The beach's was not all that either. Boo to you Phucket.

Sun Set

On our second night on Phi Phi we went to see the sun set. Have you ever sat down and watched the sun go down? It's so peaceful and relaxing. I'd give anything to go back there to watch it all again.

Kit List

One of the most comment question's we are always asked is:

"What have you packed?", "What did you bring?"
