It was touch down at KL airport on Saturday 26th September 2009 @ 18:00, I had two days left before jetting back home to the lovely winter days of England. KL was a typical city & fairly expensive in some areas. Chinatown seemed to do me alright though and you could get pretty cheap food, drinks, clothes, sunglasses etc from the markets. It seemed to rain the entire time there so was a little hard to keep myself motivated to go out and get drenched, but as they always say “skins waterproof” though people don’t account for the fact your clothes aren’t and when wet they stay wet until they dry.
The most impressive site of KL is the Petronas Twin Towers, it’s a pretty epic site when you actually consider man’s creations in this world and how they achieve it! A feet of excellence! Other site seeing took me to the “Menara Tower” a small reptile zoo next door and the “Aquaria” though these didn’t seem to be so impressive & the fact the tower and aquaria were £7each made it even more disappointing.
This is where I stayed, it was a new hostel and some of the points on the flyer weren’t really valid! but it was chilled out so can’t knock it too much.

Inside Suria food court – My £1 Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream.
Random shop name, not sure if he did much business??
Menara Tower – No photos from up inside the tower of the city unfortunately it was night time they didn’t come out too well.
Reptile zoo & F1 gaming, part of the Menara Tower ticket.
Don’t know the name of this, but like most people I will refer to it by colour… Yellow Snake
Day 2 @ KL – Flight @ 22:00
“Aquaria” – bit like the sealife centre, but not really as good.
Bit of a mad rush to the airport, ended up missing the bus by 2min to the international terminal airport so had to get a bus to the internal terminal and getting another bus from there, the timings were a bit tight but I made it in the end… All good, fortunately I was also just under my weight allowance, so didn’t need to be getting a sweat on.
19KG! just under the 20KG allowance
Just after 01:00am I touched down in Brunei Airport. Strangely I had to fly to Brunei (back in Borneo), even though it was further away from England than KL. All pretty backwards
I managed to get a bed in one of the dayrooms at the airport, 8h for £12 and worth ever ££ for some good Gonk! It was a goodnights sleep before a sightseeing tour around Brunei and then a 16h flight home.
