We are finally on the plane and looking forward to visit Kuala Lumpur and our old friend JP, who used to work in the warehouse with us back in 2005. Our hostel is quite close to the twin towers, so we went there to check them out, you actually have to queue up from 7 in the morning to get tickets up as everyday they have bout 1600 tickets and that is it. The next they we visited the central market, chine town etc etc and around 4 o'clock we went to the Mid valley mall, which is this huge shopping centre, but we didn't go for shopping we are going to meet with JP here. We are at the Starbucks coffee, it's 6 o'clock and JP nowhere to be seen, I have got a text that he might be late, Lucy is nervous as she is not sure if she will recognise JP after five long years. Well we were in KL, is Starbucks where 75% were Chinese, 20% Indian and the rest white people, so I don't think JP will have a problem to find us ;-) and he didn't we found us right away and as he saying he has something special for us, we sit in his car and drove for good 40min to this Look out point, which is this awesome place with few restaurants, but with unbelievable few on the whole night KL. JP ordered some lovely Malaysian food and after some drink we went back to city for some beer. Btw who knows JP is engaged now and will be getting married 10.10.2010, so congratulations to him and best luck in marriage. It was close to mid night but the traffic was like mid day, when JP dropped us home. Next day we took easy, we did a bit more sightseeing and we re in bed by 23 as we had to wake up 7 in the morning to try to get tickets for the twin towers, when we got there it was around 7:30 and already there was at least 400 people maybe more. Ok we got our tickets for 16:45, we went back to the hostel as we had to check out, then we went to the city for few hours before going to see the city from the sky bridge, which is located on the 41 floor of the twin towers. Is 16:15 and we are nowhere close to the towers, man if we are going to miss the I'll be very ….... anyway let's hurry up , great it started raining, we here is 16:35 are they going to let us in??? You supposed to be here 16:30, well they did. First thing you watch this short commercial movie about Petronas the company how great they are and then finally we are in the lift which is moving 5m per second, impressive. The view is great you can see to whole city and if it would not be raining maybe even more :-). After the twin towers he went back to the hostel, watched a movie and then we went to KL Sentral to catch our train to Singapore. We couldn't get ourselves sleeper, so we will enjoy 9 hours of sitting in the train.
Konecne sme v lietadle do Kuala Lumpur a tesime sa na stretnutie s nasim byvalym kolegom z anglicka Jpm, posledny krat sme ho videli v roku 2005. Nas hostel bol velmi blizko k dvojickam. Ked sme tam dorazili tak sme sa dozvedeli ze listy su zadarmo, ale budeme musiet prist o osmej rano si ich vydvyhnut, maju ich denne asi 1600. Potom sme isli do Mid walley obchodneho centra kde sme sa mali stretnut s Jpm. Lucka bola uz nervozna lebo nevedela ci ho spozname po dlhych piatich rokoch. No boli sme v Starbucks na kave a bolo tam 75 cinanov, 20 % indov a ostatok(my dvaja) biely ludia, takze si nemyslim ze by mal problem nas najst aj keby zabudol ako vypadame :) a vlastne nas aj hned nasiel a povedal ze ma pre nas pripravene nieco specialne. Isli sme asi 40 minut autom do vyhladkovej restauracie, odkial sme mali nadherny vyhlad na cele kuala lumpur. JP objednal dobre malajzijske jedlo a potom sme isli spolu do mesta na pivko a zaviezol najst hostela. Bolo super znova ho vidiet a porozpravat sa :) Rano sme museli vstavat skoro aby sme dostali listok na vezu. Ked sme tam prisli ( o pol hodinku skor) tak tam uz bolo kopec ludi v rade. (min 400) Po asi dvoch hodinach cakania sme konecne dostali listky na 16:45. Potom sme isli naspat do hostela a do mesta. Cestou sme sa stavili na obed, ktory trval dlhsie ako sme predpohladali tak sme sa rychlym krokom vybrali k veziam. Len tak tak sme to stihli, asi by nas to dost mrzelo lebo sme museli vstavat velmi skoro a stat dve hodiny v rade. Najprv nam pustili video o tom ako tie veze zaplatili za peniaze zarobene na rope a potom sme sli vytahom na vyhladnu ktora je most medzi vezami. Vytah isiel 5 metrov za sekundu a vyhladna je v strede na 41 poschodi. Bolo to ok pekny vyhlad az na to ze 15 min predtym ako sme mali ist hore zacalo prsat (a prsi tu iba zriedkavo...). Vecer sme nasadli na vlak do Singapuru.
