Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - April 14

twin towers

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is our port today. Our tour today is a full day city tour of Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is actually about an hour’s drive to the port – these drives to the cities from the port when we have to make them are really not that bad. The tour guides typically chat the whole way about the city, the area etc which is always very interesting. On the agenda is to visit a mosque which holds 24,000 people – we don’t actually go in and this is just a photo stop. Next we visit Kuala Lumpur’s twin towers – 2 88 story office towers that are quite something to see. We also visit a war memorial, a garden, have lunch, visit another mosque and actually go inside this one – hence my attire in the photo and finish the day with some shopping. Kuala Lumpur is bustling, modern city.

 Today in Malaysia and yesterday in Singapore, getting around (although we’ve been with a guide) has been made easier by all the English on signs. Apparently English is one of the languages taught in school. Can’t say I’ve eaten anything new or exciting recently, although I did eat octopus at lunch.
