Once we had gathered our bearings we realised our bus from Melacca had dropped us 8 mins walk from our hostel - sweet intro. Ashamed to admit, but the first activity we did in KL was go shopping mall....Careful to avoid the international brands (Top Shop, French Connection, Next etc) which seemed a similar price, we managed to get some killer bargains and some beautiful Malaysian clothes. The next day we headed out earlyish to the Petronas Towers to get tickets to the viewing platform. But we arrived too late and tickets were sold out... fortunately there was another shopping mall at the base of the towers!
We did do some sightseeing. We caught the Hop-on, Hop-Off Bus which does a handy circuit of the city. We checked out the beautiful and light National Mosque. Before we were allowed in we both had to put on purple - jedi like gowns to cover our heads and legs.
We visited the Islamic Museum where they have very cool mini replicas of mosques from all over the world. We walked through Chinatown and got accosted with loads of fake designer handbags, DVD's, purses and watches. Little India was cool, Tash got another henna tattoo for $4.
Now for a change of scenery.........
