Toichdown in KL

July 15, 2006

Here I am in the airport of Ngurah Rai, in Denpasar, Bali waiting for the boarding time going to Kuala Lumpur, actually I have little knowledge about this city, I was just lucky that Butet, also from the Rotaract referred me to Sam, her friend who lives in Kuala Lumpur, she said if I need help there I can call Sam. So when I arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport I called him that I arrived already, but he said that he is so far from the airport so he suggested that I’ll take a train going to KL Central so he can pick me up there.

Here I am at KL Central with Sam, he drove me around KL Central, he showed me the Petronas Twin Towers, it’s the 2nd tallest building in the world, It’s very high if I remember Sam told me it’s an 88 storey high building. I took picture of it from afar so I can see the whole building and even took picture from the bottom of the building, it was really fascinating to see this very high building. After here Sam said it’s dinner time so we went to Chinese restaurant, we ordered pork spareribs, vegetables and steamed cat fish, I really missed eating these kinds of foods, coz I also eat these back in the Philippines. While we are eating we get to know each other, tell some things about ourselves and my purpose in going here in Kuala Lumpur. So after dinner he told me it’s ok for him to let me stay in his house while I’m getting some information about Kota Kinabalu, that is the place that I’ll be visiting here.

After here we went to meet some of his friends, they are Chingyee Hong, her sister and her mom. They are Chinese, most people here in Kuala Lumpur are Chinese, Indians, Malays, some are mixed.

After here me and Sam went to his house, he said he has a training tomorrow so he can’t accompany me to go around Kuala Lumpur, he said his friend Chingyee is free so she’s gonna be my tour guide tom and her sister and mom.
