Well now that Elani and I traveling again it’s time for me to put back on my “very intermittent armature travel blogger hat”. So, our first stop is Kuala Lumpur (which like they locals, I’ll be calling KL). Why KL you ask? Well honestly because we wanted to go to Malacca and the way to get there is fly into KL and take a bus. And instead of sleeping off over 24 hrs travel spread over two days and immediately getting on a bus for another three hours, we decided to hang out in KL for a couple weeks.
Not that KL doesn’t have plenty to recommend it. It’s a huge modern city, where you can find truly excellent Malay, Indian, and Chinese food (along with tons of others) at basically any price point to care to spend. I usually prefer the fairly cheap variety eaten at a plastic table and on those little square plastic stools that are ubiquitous across all SE Asia. Also, you know it’s full stunning modern architectural marvels (I’m currently looking at the second tallest building in the world from the wind of our condo), and all the world class museums and cultural events that you can expect from a global capital – if you’re into that sort of thing.
But so far we haven’t really been hitting up that many of the big sights. Still relaxing after all the hassles of getting our live squared away so we can be traveling full time again. That, and getting used to being in a bustling metropolis after three years mostly trying to avoid crowsd while we hunkered down in Bellingham.
I’ll write more soon. And Elani is planning on writing regularly too. In an effort to make it so I don’t get behind on the blog again, I’m going to be only doing a quick pass at editing (so, sorry for that in advance) and a lot of my photos will go straight to my facebook and instagram. Say what you like about social media, they make posting photos extremely easy. Stay tuned, Elani’s got a break down of the KL street food so far coming in the next couple of days.
