Big day!

Hi all! Malaysia is pretty cool 0 well not really, it's actually pretty frikken hot! Althought yesterday I spent a lot of it walking either indoors or outdoors, and either way you seem to either ignore the heat or just not notice it. It's not too bad really, the temperatures are easily in the 30's and in the late 20's at night, with a truckload of huumidity. After a little you realise you can't hide from it and just deal with it. It's a lot easier when you are travelling around and looking at things. Yesterday we over to the twin towers, the tallest building in the world, which was pretty spectacular. There was a pretty big mall in the bottom of it and we wandered around there for a while taking photo's and looking at things. After that we went up to the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Central City) tower. A lot like the Sky tower, only a bit taller. It's supposed to be a 4th tallest, and in comparison, Auckland's Sky tower is 6th tallest. The have a Flying Fox park at the bottom of the the tower, which I went on twice, everyone else was chicken haha. There was some american guy who I gave a bit of grief too because he was bitching about the terms and conditions he had to sign. I told him to 'Butch up' which he didn't think was very funny, his girlfriend did though and I got a good laugh out if it. I had to go first and it was pretty easy. It wasn't really that big and I had been on bigger, but as I was pretty much ared to go on it, I couldn't really say no haha. The American chap was a bit stressed though to say the least. On my second go I had to jump of the platform backwards with no hands haha. Damn that got the heart rate up a little... only 1 previous attempt to trust the hardness I was in gah, I did it though so rawr to me haha.
After that we walked around several malls, which was great as you escape the never ending heat and humidity. Plus looking around 10 storey malls is pretty fascinating, there is some amazing things to look at. I was even taken to a computer mall haha About 6 storeys of just computer shops. haha Crazy! Some of the prices for things were pretty cool. I'll have to come back and get some new gear sometime. TV's were a similar price to NZ but other things like HDD's and memory were a lot cheaper for instance.
So last night we decided to get some dinner and go out into KL for some drinks and a bit of a dance. Well, as things turned out it was 10:30pm by the time we got hom and changed and then we found a little place to eat some food and then drove into KL. Unfortunately it takes a little while to drive from Seremban (where I am staying with Julie and her family) to KL, about an hour really - and with a few other stops (picking up other people and money stops) it was just past 1am when we got into town to our first pub stop. Well, when I say pub, I actually mean Hotel pub. The hotel was called Traders and the pub was called the Sky Bar. Now you know people like to say "the drinks are expensive here" well screw me, can you say 17 NZ dollars for a Heineken! haha! And I got 2 of them and a vodka and a bourbon. Needless to say that were the only drinks I bought there and we left soon after. But I must say, walking inot the pub which had a big 25 metre swimming pool in the middle of it, and AMAZING views of the twin towers and the casinos off in the distance of the hills, it was pretty unreal. I was thinking that maybe if there was actually a cover charge for the place it might have evened out the prices a bit - hehe Trying to make myself feel better :-)
After that we went over to a bit of the strip where KL has a load of clubs and the place was packed out.. we even had to barter to get into the club, which ended up us buying a bottle of Jim Beam Black and we got to drink that all night, which wasn't too bad in my book haha. But sadly 3am came around pretty quickly and the nightclubs all closed up and we got kicked out... so we had to drive home... Now 3am KL time is actually 7am NZ time, so I fell asleep in the car on the way home, which was good but I feel a bit stink about that... nevermind... went to bed that night and that was my day (reather long) for quite some time.
