Kuala Lumpur - a great city

We arrived early in the morning with the night train at KL Sentral. The night was loud because the door between our and the next car was broken. Very tired we took a taxi and checked into Wheeler's Guesthouse, a place those to in South Korea studying Germans recommended to us. Indeed it was a nice place at a reasonable price, just near China Town. Kuala Lumpur is a shopping paradise - you can walk for kilometers through malls which are connected to each other without seeing daylight or getting wet in one of those monsoon rainfalls. We spent quite some time in those and I bought a new MP3 player and an electronic shaver. I just cannot live without my music although I have to admit that it is time for new songs because listening to the same over and over again is annoying in the end. On the first day in KL we went to the Patronas Tower, the second largest building in the world (after a skyscraper in Taipee). This building is just amazing - Uli and I just love those towers. Interestinly, the architecture embodies designs of the number one religion in Malaysia - the Islam. We decided to rather get on the observation deck of the TV tower because it was higher than the one in the Patrona Towers. We did that the same night trying to catch the sunset but unfortunately some Malay told us the wrong way and we were almost to late. When we arrived at the top we could still see the sun - a red ball surrounded by fog. We spent quite some time up there and enjoyed the view on the lightened city below. From there we went home and enjoyed the Internet in our guesthouse and a beer on its roof top bar before we went to bed. The next day we again did some sightseeing, looked at a mosque near by and a building belonging to the sultan. Malaysia has 13 provinces ruled by nine sultans and four ministers. Every five years a king is elected from the sultans (just some information input :). From there we tried to catch a bus a big park and while we were looking for a bus stop to Malay girls were passing us in a car, yelling at us "handsome, handsome". So I said to Uli: "Hey, they at the red light - let them take us to the park." And so we asked them if they could take us and so they did. In the park was some "Flora and Founa Faire" so it was full with poeple. Later we went to China Town at bought some fake music CDs and DVDs as well as clothing. I have not heard anything of Uli yet if he arrived safely in Gemany - I hope the custom did not bust him for a backpack full of fakes :) After that we again enjoyed a beer on the roof top bar...The next night we left for Singapur with a night bus. I love Kuala Lumpur and I love Malaysia. I was really surprised by realizing that Malaysia is far ahead of Thailand concering infrastructure, transport, and in terms of Western influences. The most impressive issue about Malaysia is that Indians, Chinese, and Malay embodying the three big religions Islam, Hindu, and Christian, live together peacefully!!!
