Hi from Malaysia!

We only spent two nights in Phuket, mostly enjoying the movie channels in our cheap motel room but we did wonder out to find the beach and food. It's very strange - Phuket is full of Russians! We also stumbled across a little tailors and decided to bite the bullet and get some suits made. After being measured and having two fittings, we were very happy with them! They're all ready to be shipped home.

As it was about time we left Thailand as our 30 day visas were up soon, this morning we jumped on a flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur which was very pain free. When we arrived in KL, we got the express train to KL Sentral and got a budget taxi to our hotel.

Time to set off and sight see! We got another cab to the bottom of the Petronas towers where we marvelled at the tallest twin towers in the world, took some pics and wondered around the park. Unfortunately as it's a bank holiday here for the Chinese New Year, we were never going to make it up to the sky bridge!

So the next best thing and actually reaching greater heights and better views, the KL Tower. Trusting our map we found it on foot, and shortly were 300m up on the open observation deck. The views were spectacular so we decided to stay to see the sun go down and the fabulous city light up. At the top of the KL Tower there is a 360 degrees rotating restaurant but, sadly, we couldn't afford it on our backpacker budget.

The Petronas towers looked amazing in the dark so we walked back to the bottom of them to see them lit up up close.

At about 9pm when our bellies were peckish we left the towers in seek of street food down the famous Jalan Alor. Again we found the street on foot. It's street food done in a different way to the rest of South-East Asia with large outdoor restaurants governing many little stalls of chefs and you sit at their table, order the food you want, then each stall you have ordered from brings you your dish whenever it's ready and you pay them each individually when it's brought over.

Keen to try some popular Malaysian dishes, we opted for stingray fried in banana leaf, satay chicken, dumplings and won tee mee (beef noodles). All of it was really delicious and we'd definitely have it all again!

We've racked up the miles today so with achey legs, we bid you good night.
