My crazy cab driver...

Ignore the title of this one until the end.

After a 7 hour bus ride we arrived in Kuala Lumpur. We found a place to stay and headed out for a place to eat. Close to where we were stating was a street filled with bars and restaurants. It was a little commercial and touristy, but we were in the mood for that. We settled down somewhere- drank some beers and had some food. Just what we needed after a long bus ride.

The next day we walked around the city for a while. KL homes the famous Petronas Twin Towers. Of course it was too expensive to go up them, but we got some cool pictures from below. The towers are located in a big park so we walked around there for a bit. We found a kids swimming pool and just wanted to put our feet in, but security guards stopped us immediately. We were just so hot!

We headed back to our hotel and stopped for some bubble tea. I think I had bubble tea like 6 times over the two days we were there. It was a toss up to name this entry My bubble tea or My crazy cab driver. We hung out and read in the comfort of our lobby's AC. For dinner that night we ate at a kind of cafeteria style Indian place (and maybe we had lunch here too). Cafeteria style doesn't really describe it accurately- it was a big open restaurant with amazing Indian and Malay food. It started pouring rain and we were happy to be under the roof eating delicious food.

That night we went to bed early because we had to wake up at 4am to get to the airport the next day. Enter our crazy cab driver. He was nuts. Speeding through empty streets but yelling about traffic. He kept going on and on about "youngsters" and how they just party and basically ruin the world. He told us that we were maybe going to be late for the plane which is why he was going so fast. I wish I had taken his picture. Oh well, off to Thailand
