Since last post, travelled to Kuala Lumpar and stayed 3 nites there. impressive city with monorail/metro/skyscrapers. lots of traffic again. 1st sight u see coming in is the tv tower and almost adjacent to it the petronas towers. hotel was grand(ya get what u pay for) staying in chinatown. Sight-seeing trip included the KL tower, petronas towers, national museum, an aquarium and a butterfly/insect park!! View from KL tower was class, able to go around and have 360deg view of city. thought eiffel tower view was better, more to see in Paris.
Big disappointment with petronas towers, weren't able to go up to viewing area, all tickets for day we wanted to go were sold out by 9am(something lonely planet didn't tell us, get there early to avoid disappointment!)And it was our last day, still ticket girl didn't give in to that nor saying "we came all way from Ireland to see this specially" ;)
Biggest thing over last few days though were Sinead's results coming out on Friday, and brilliant news, she's PASSED, no more accounting exams, fully qualified now, she'll be on more money than me pretty soon i'd say! Had a good nite friday celebrating!
Travelled to Melaka yesterday (~2hrs south of Kuala Lumpar). Spending 2 nites here, then leaving for Singapore in morning. Nearly done with asia now, seems to be flying by, heading to Darwin on 21st. Melaka is a nice enough town, similar to Penang a good mix of a lot of asian people. Not upto much here, taking it easy for a few days, before we've to brave another capital city! Later, Kevin
