As the title says, I'm in Kuala Lumpur, known here as KL. The first sight I saw as we drove into town was the amazing Petronas Towers. They look almost too delicate looking to be a pair of huge skyscapers. I'll write in more detail about them when I take some photos of them.

I'm excited to be taking photos again because I don't have to carry around the huge brick of a battery pack anymore. As soon as I rolled into KL, I hit the mall to get a converter so I can recharge my cam battery as well as a few disposable batteries for when the rechargable one is dead.

To digress, there's a weird aspect of travelling in Asia- you run into the same people over and over again. As I was sitting here at this PC, Kathy pointed out two guys we had seen in Starbucks in Georgetown, and again at our hostel in the Cameron Highlands. Now here they are again in KL. There really is only one trail in Malaysia, down the west coast and up the east because the east coast is in monsoon right now. It makes you feel a bit like a lemming after a while... I'll probably wind up seeing them AGAIN in our dump of a hostel, which had come highly recommended by a girl in our dorm room last night. When she rolls in tonight, we can ask her what she was thinking....

I'm still working out my plans for the rest of my trip, which really won't come together until I reach Singapore and check out some airfares from there. I'm still in limbo and seriously considering a side trip to Egypt/Turkey/Jordan to get back the travel tingles. That said, the idea of learning to surf in Bali is beginning to appeal to me again because I am losing what little color I did have. I'll just have to put on SPF 30+ instead of 8 or 15.

Other than that, I'm back in the heat, and sweating like mad again. Toodles!
