By the time we arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, we were exhausted. Jet lag had finally set in and Tom's two weeks of 12 hour nights had finally caught up with him. Despite being exhausted and having limited time, we tried to see as much as we could. Burmese refugee friends had spent time in KL before coming to the US. I had been looking forward to Kuala Lumpur because most of my Our first stop was at the Kuala Lumpur tower which looks like the Seattle space needle. From here, we got great views of the city including Kuala Lumpur's iconic twin towers. Our ticket included admission to an "animal experience" which turned out to be animals kept in rather poor conditions so that was rather sad to see. However, I did get to hold 2 iguanas and the bigger one was just about the coolest and most beautiful lizard I have ever seen.
After that, we took a brief trip through China town. The tourist market had just about anything you could ever want. The sites, sounds, and colors were overwhelming in a fun way. I really wish we could have seen more, but we had to get up at 3:30am the next day so we went to bed early. Plus, the humidity was so intense so it was hard to have a long day. Enjoy the pictures!
