Hello all, After a couple more days in ICU and getting all signed off by my supervisor, I took the opportunity on the Friday to see the sights! A visit to the Petronas Towers meant an early start to get tickets but seeing that the price had increased from my last visit in 2008 (when it was FREE) I decided to take a wander through the gardens instead. The city centre of KL is supplied with a free wifi system so I chilled out, catching up on my emails before ge...

This week is my last week in Hospital KL and my first in ICU (intensive care unit). Starting nice and early I popped across the road to Traveller's Palm Hostel for breakfast before catching the monorail to Chow Kit. A familiar walk later and I arrived, thankfully on time, to the intensive care ward. With two wings and 30 beds ICU here is no small deal. Handover starts a 8 in the conference room where each wing discusses all the patients under their care for the...

Feeling as though I couldn't leave without having tea and scones I settled in a café in town to indulge.

Full of naan I climbed the steps back to Father's and managed to get a lift with my bags down to the tourist office w...

Carrying on up one of the hills surrounding Tanah Rata I met a troupe of monkeys hanging around near an old viewing station. I also saw a couple of snakes and several lizards scurrying around the paths. Heading down the other si...

I booked on the 'Countryside Tour' for Friday morning which meant no lie-in for me. Wanting to beat the rush to breakfast I got up with plenty of time to spare and had a leisurely meal in the café. The tour left Father's at 9 o'clock and headed for the Sam Poh Temple in Brinchang. It was very visitor friendly, allowing us to take photos and explore the various rooms of worship at our leisure. Many golden statues decorated the temple with Chinese looking dragon...
