Krietings from Kuala Lumpur - la

Hello - la!

Welcome in Kuala Lumpur - la!
I'm having a great time - la!
But weather very hot - la! So, I'm sweating like crazy - la!

This is not working.... ;-)
Too difficult for me, but not for the people who are living here. Ending every sentence with 'la' is very common. So all the time I'm like 'what are you saying?', before I understand it is a useless la again. Their writing in english is even more funny. They write how they pronounce it, for example how I wrote 'greetings' in my title. But although they speak and write in a crazy way, they are extremely friendly. I feel like I'm a VIP over here! There are many expats living in Kuala Lumpur, but somehow they are not used seeing white people/foreigners, so they are staring at me all the time... Where are you from Miss? Is the question that I hear the most. They even came out of shops today to walk with me ;-)

To keep this short, because we are sitting on the 3rd level of a huge shopping mall so you understand we want to look around (no, not buying, but just for the simple reason that I've got more Thai money in my wallet than Malaysian money), a very short summary of today. I've been to the Twin Towers / Petronas, which are the tallest twins of the whole world and afterwards I visited the Kuala Lumpur Tower which is amongst the tallest telecommunication towers of the world. There you have the best view!
In the afternoon Marleen, Kia and I went for some sightseeing, but it was simply too humid to be very active, so we decided to cool down in Marleen her swimmingpool. Sounds pretty good he? ;-)

Kuala Lumpur is great! Very modern and western if you compare it to the Thai cities. It's clean, lot's of green, huge skyline and big shoppingmalls. I've the feeling that big cities in the US look the same. The good news is; my coughing almost disappeared, just because there is hardly any pollution over here. So no worries about my health anymore!

Friday I'll be flying back to Bangkok and have some time off before I'll fly to paradise in the late evening. So I'll put some more stories about me in KL (and pics) on my weblog by then.

Bick huk - la!
