Kuala Lumpur

Have been in Kuala Lumpur for the last 2 days, is a pretty crazy city i keep getting lost, cant seem to get my bearings. First night I got a nice full body massage as body aching from all the walking and carrying of backpack. Then had a walk around the night markets in Chinatown which are on every night ate some nice food and found this tofu desert which i have been adicted to ever since. It is very soft warm tofu with brown sugar syrup and black jelly pieces, I love it! have eaten at least 5 since getting here, just finished one and also 2 chinese tuna fish buns which I recognised from china town in sydney. Next day I went to batu Caves, about 30 mins NW of city, Massive Hindu shrine inside these enourmous caves! Gaurded by the biggest Murga statue in the world. There were monkeys, cats, roosters pidgeons everywhere and beautiful statues and shrines throughout the caves. Second night was spent walking around the night markets in Little India, these markets are on every Saturday night and were great, so much food! I ate way too much so headed back to hostel for shower and early night sleep. Going back to hostel now to get backpack and then catching bus 4 1/2 Hours north to Cameron Highlands.


Tofu Desert, Batu Caves 43 M high Murga Statue, One of many monkeys eating peanuts, 272 steps to Hindu shrine, Night markets in Little India, Girls with everthing imaginable on a stick (including offal!), My Dinner, Cooking fresh fish on top banana leaves with curry-coconut sauce.
