Gong Xi Fa Chai
Location: Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia
Local Time: Monday, Jan 30, 2006 - 1:58pm
A local told me that sometimes people arrive here expecting some little jungle spot. Kuala Lumpur is an amazing city, as beautiful or more so than Vancouver. The Petronas Towers are tall. I have not yet been up to the Skybridge. Hopefully I'll get the chance to do that.
I visited Swensen's the afternoon of the day I got here. Apparently it is an American chain, though I have only seen it in Thailand and now Malaysia. I had the regular sized Earthquake. What is that? A whole lot of amazing icecream!
Icecream in Nepal was lacking. Since there were frequent power outages, the icecream would often melt and refreeze. And they would keep selling it of course.
This icecream was fabulous. With wonderful toppings of strawberries, pineapple, chocolate, whip cream and marishino cherries.
I had to leave 2 teaspoons in the bowl. It was just too much.
Yesterday I was at an amuzement park with some friends. I tried a couple rides, had some really good mandarin orange cheesecake with Moroccoan Mint Tea. In the evening, I watched a movie in KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center) which is at the bottom of the Petronas Towers.
Fearless, starring Jet Li was the movie. It was alright, good martial arts.
Couple of quick translations to Malay:
taxi -> teksi
restaurant -> restoran

LOL those are pretty convenient translations! :)
Speaking of Jet Li movies, I recently saw Unleashed (on DVD) for the first time. Quite interesting. It was not at all what I expected. Yes, there was lots of ass whooping but there was a plot and other stuff going on (which I won't ruin for those whom haven't seen it). Anyway, different, but I think in a good way.
Sounds like you're having a great time in Malaysia! Ray will be thrilled to hear so, I'm sure.
Cheers,
Scottie.
