Just so you know...

... nobody likes you Lobbie. I didn't want to be the one to have to tell you...

ok fine point taken, picture removed... but yes, me and MF DOOM are homies. He doesn't like you either. He told me to tell you. He said it was time you knew.

Anyway I am in KL, I have to say Petronas Towers is a gorgeous building, it's super wicked.

The bus here was about as far removed from the bus to Melaka as you can get. I got up and packed up and got a cab (actually two, I for some reason had to change cabs half way to the bus station...?) and running purely on luck and cunning(?) I got there five minutes before the KL buses left (why, WHY do they all leave at the same time??), and bought the first ticket at the first counter and ended up on a nice new (by Malaysian standards) coach, and we rocked north for a couple of hours. KL seems like a good town... Ryno Travel Tip #219: Buckets of beer (five beers) are cheaper than buying three beers individually... dammit... but hey, when you are trapped by the rains in a place with bars, you need to do something with your time right? Always, ALWAYS ask "how much?" before you buy beer... %$#*ing bar in Melaka charged me RM22 (about NZ$14?) for a Corona...

Squid I took a photo of a T-shirt for you... "SIG SAUER P229, the gun that protects America". I didn't buy it for you though, cause over here you are a XXXL. And you don't have a P229

Once again I am taking a sanity break to write some stuff between exploring, it is the only time in the day/night I can sit for a bit and chill. I will probably venture into Chinatown for food shortly, the guesthouse I am at is in a great location in central KL. This is the first place I have stayed with other Westerners though, and it feels a bit too much like going to Auckland Central Backpackers or Embargos for drinks like we did back in the day... KL has more tourists etc than anywhere I have seen so far, surprisingly more than Singas did. That should change as I make my way north, the next leg will be a pretty long haul.

I am now one week without my own music (I know, I don't know how I am surviving either..), my searches for cheap iPod chargers have proved fruitless (what do you have to do to get someone to sell you a cheap chinese knockoff in this country, seriously??!!) so I am living with the music (and voices) in my head. Hard to believe a week has gone by already. But of course you are reading this, so it's like I never even left... lucky, lucky people. Oh well... enough now, I am about to step back outside into the heavy hot damp and go explore some more... y'all enjoy work.
