Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

For the next part of the journey, Randi and I were joined by Randi's sister, Karen. We spent our first 2 days in Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. We stayed in Chinatown, where we enjoyed some clay pot chicken rice (yum!). We spent a day doing the "Hop On, Hop Off" bus tour around town. We visited Little India, where we did some shopping and enjoyed some Indian food. We visited the National Mosque, where we had to wear long purple robes with hoods covering our hair. We looked more like witches from Harry Potter than Islamic devotees. Lastly, we visited the Petronas Towers, which was once one of the tallest buildings in the world. Although we only spent a short time in the city, we enjoyed the greenery, the parks, and the pleasant architecture.
