Haha Malaysia! Glad to see made it through your first KL experience satisfied and largely uneaten.

Though I can’t believe Kek Lok Si is still under construction… I was there more than two years ago and they had already started building the pillars for that protective pavilion. And it’s still not done. I guess money must be super tight.

And Sunway is indeed one heck of a crazy company. That Pyramid isn’t even the half of it. They also have (amongst numerous other ventures) a residential estate in Ipoh that has a similarly unexplained Aztec-style theme park near the entrance. I would love to meet the mad tycoon behind it all just to see if he matches the comically monacled fat Malaysian man I imagine him to be.

PS. Wah Hong Kong oso? So good one!

Would you believe they are tracks selected from YouTube’s official collection? I was pleasantly surprised.

Oh! Forgot to ask, what is the music you used for the videos?

When Andrew and I went to the Batu Caves it was pouring down rain. I thought I would get swept down the stairs with the water when we were coming back down. There was barely anyone there though and in our tour group it was just us and one other woman. I didn’t get to see any monkeys!! So jealous.

@minwye Ah I thought that rink may have been your one. There can’t be too many around. As for the fish, they did a great job. My heel which is normally calloused ended up very smooth.

@mh That was indeed the official line. It was on a fancy sign board so it must be true. ;)

“Unfortunately the weather is not kind to the statue so the caretakers had to build a pavillion for it” – hmmm…interesting. Was that the official line they used?
