Hello from Kuala Lumpur or KL as it is known by just about everybody round here. Our last 2 days have been pretty hectic so let me run through them with you and let you know what we have been up to. Yesterday we left Malacca on the bus and it was a 2 hour journey into KL this cost us a whopping 1 pound 20p each!!!! We were dropped at the PuduRaya Bus Terminal and there were people everywhere offering taxi rides and bumping into each other it was pretty manic an...

The whole process was straight forward and there were police with semi automatics everywhere!!! Got to the central...
