Today is my last day in Kuala Lumpur and one of my old friends from Australia is also here in the city so I have invited her over for lunch at my Host Joys house.
There is a nice gym at the apartments so first thing this morning I went down and did some weights.
About mid-morning I went and met my friend Emma- I used to work with her at the Deen Nightclub in Perth. It's been about 5 years since we last saw each other so it was awesome catching up on everything. She has also turned into a world traveller and is now off on an 8 month backpacking trip across Asia and back into Europe.
Joy made us a wonderful chicken vegetable stirfry and we all sat down and chatted the afternoon away. I am so glad we got to hang out we almost didn't as it was looking like it would be too hard but from now on: I will go to any length to catch up with old friends on the road - the chance to reminiss to inspire and to remember where we come from. Emma and I made a promise to meet each other in South America later in the year - cant wait would love to travel with her.
My friend Marcus from the states who has also recently been to Philippines organized for a family to host me on the island of Bohol and today I hope to hear from them.
My flight tonight is at 9pm so I will make my way to the city around 4pm giving myself lots of time in case of any delays.
Unfortunately at about 3pm I was struck with stomach cramps which followed by a complete flush out! Not feeling so great I made my way to KL Sentral. From there I caught an airport link bus and arrived at the airport by about 6:30pm and luckily without any more rushing to the toilet. I checked in and made my way to my favorite shop at LCCT the dried fruit and biscuit shop where you can sample to your hearts content. I actually made this stop my dinner and ate myself silly on biscuits, nuts, sweets and dried fruits.
Some great advise from my Filipino friend Elenita - hide your cash and don't have your wallet in your backpack at anytime!
3 and a half hours and I will be in Philippines - new country, new people, new adventures.
