Again Kuala Lumpur is a blog I have written out and managed to lose so I'm not very happy about having to write it again! But I will cos I'm good like that.
We left Phi Phi early and it was peeing it down such horrible weather, it always seems to rain on the day we are leaving places, but this was a sign I didn't want to leave Phi Phi either! Anyway after sporting our gorgeous macs bought for us by my mother we get on the boat and head to the docks and then get greeted by this guy who works at our transfer place, My sun, So char walks up to this guy who is pointed out to us and asks are you my sun? That was it I was in fits of giggles, and char realised what she had just said so burst out laughing too. We get on this tiny little mini bus and told to sit at the back (why I don't know) where everyone's bags are, so we have no where to put our feet and are very cramped and have our big bags in front of us, we are soon joined by another 10 people or so and are so cramped in this van I wanted to scream. 4-5hours later (horrible uncomfortable hours) everyone leaves and its only me and char left in the van, I venture the idea that we could be being kidnapped and on that note the guy looks round at us and smiles...a kind of creepy smile I was only joking now I'm not so sure haha.
We get dropped off (thankfully) in a place called Hatyai which we later read to be sex capital and prostitute capital Nice!!! So we made a bit of money while we waited for our next coach! haha We were told our coach to Kuala Lumpur goes at 7pmsowehadafew hours andhadnt eaten so decided food would be a good idea, we walked around for ages ( alot of the timein circles) with our big bags and the floor was wet so we were walking slowly and carefully trying not to slip, obviously we looked really cool at the same time, like bambi on ice skates, but not as cute! We in the end settled for this little Thai cafe which wasn't very exciting and we weren't a big fan of the food, also our waitress seemed to like to throw our food and drinks down at us. As we were leaving we noticed a food court down the road...typical! As we were walking back to the travel agents I noticed lots of kids clothes on sale so bought mia the cutest little yellow dress, kids clothes are definitely my weakness, not shoes, bags etc like most girls but baby clothes...great! The girls always said when they lost me in asda or tesco they'd just head to the baby clothes and I'd be there! Then me and char counted our leftover money and had like 100baht left, so bought 2 pound,in thailand thats alot of money though so we got all excited and went across the road to the shop to spend it. I bought a drink cotton buds and loadsa paracetmol ( i must've looked quite dodgy) and char boughta can of beer and somecotton buds. We saton the curb drinking and chatting waiting for our bus when this guy whois also drinking beer comes up to us to talk to us, he's nice and friendly however he appears to think we are completely innocent or stupid as when we were on the bus he points out everything to us, when we stop he says its to get food etc, we know we have been on a bus before! but he meant well. Ok so after 12 hours oftravelling we had another 12 togo and whenwe get on the bus we don'tmind in the slightest, The seats are huge like armcharis with loadsa leg room( u know i like that) and they recline proper far back. Even better me and char have pretty much the whole back of the coach to ourselves. So after going through immigration etc we are settled down for a nice comfy sleep. The lady at immigration was just being friendly asking where we had been and where we are going, so why was i getting so nervous. I actually had to hold myself back from shouting I don't have any drugs or admitting I did to get a shorter sentence even though I didn't!
We got to Kuala Lumpur around 4am and for once didn't wanna get off the bus, never thought I'd say that. We make our way to our hotel and see this girl that I'm pretty sure is a prostitute and wait yeah she's talking to us, we must all have the same sort of look!! She directs us to our hotel but only after she tells how much better and cheaper her hotel is and tells us to go there, uhhh na! As we leave her she asks char if she wants help with her bags... Again ummmm NA!!! Crazy lady.
We get in and the guy at the hotel says we can't check in until 7am or we can pay extra to check in now. We decide we should go for coffee (we saw mcdonalds round the corner) and will come back at 7 to check in. So theres me and chars roaming the streets at 4ish in the morning, later finding out this is one of the roughest parts of KL (Everyone we spoke to called this place KL So we decided to be cool and join in) Luckily it was unlimited coffee and tea at mcdonalds and we sat there for three hours before heading back to the hotel. We got very excited when we spotted ribena and nandos as well. So back at the hotel and with me and char both desperate for the loo after 85 coffees the guy says we have to wait for after 7 I look at the clock its 7am on the dot, why be so petty!! We wait till 7.15 before I ask again and he says one minute, I actually wanna punch him! Char is sat down with her legs crossed so she doesn't wet herself. Luckily another guy, a much friendlier and more helpful guy comes in and shows us to our room where we wee and then sleep.
That night we woke up and went to explore, we didn't realise the time and as we were leaving we noticed it was gone10pm! We slept a lot. Char was really excited about nando's but unfortunately it was closed by then. We had a look around the market and ended up buying perfume for about 5pound each, I bought nina ricci and char bought ralph lauren, it smells like proper stuff just doesn't last as long so we were happy enough. As we were walking back to the hotel this guy starts talking to me out of nowhere and says I like you can I have your number, I tell him I have no phone as we walk away. I wish I was as confident as him when I see hot guys, they'll probably run away screaming and clutching their eyes haha. We then went back for bed as we had an early start tomorrow to see the twin towers (now the highest twin towers in the world) Doors opened at 7am to start queuing and opened for business at 8, something like that anyway so we were up at 6 :( not fun and got the sky train to the towers where we started queuing. We had a whale of a time there even though we were queuing for like 3 hours as we saw lots of people who looked like people we knew, we saw lee and marie but they didnt know each other so we kept hoping their eyes would meet and they'd end up together. We saw an emma and ross and a deano, we had lots of giggles. We finally got to front of queue and were told to come back at1pm to do go up the tower. So off we went for brekkie and then got hop-on hop-off bus around the area to look at the sights. At about 12 we started thinking how long it will take us to get back to the towers and at 12.45 we still weren't near so the next choice we got (about 1pm we got a taxi) and arrive at 10 past we race to the door and the lovely people let us in and said we can do the tour just missed the video; we saw that as an advantage. So we went halfway up the towers and it was amazing, so high and so beautiful, you could see all over the city and we took lots of photos. After we continued on our bus tour and at one point were the only people on there, what private bus ...for us! You shouldn't have! Had a great day seeing the city and went for nandos for dinner (their food is so much spicier than us It's brilliant) and for drinks at this Carlsberg bar, the large drinks were huge! We bought more bloomin dvd's off this guy and i bought a Liverpool shirt and new little bag as had to chuck my other one. When I was looking for a bag this guy showed me one and the zip was broken i said the zips broken and he said the real bags like this have these zips me and char just started laughing, yeah i'm sure the real designer bags all have broken zips! When I got my bag where the zip actually worked (until the following day anyway) this guy walked past and I saw him eyeing up my purse, char spotted it as well so we went off the back way and although he was following us we managed to lose him in the market. He was the worst pick pocket ever as he was so obvious!!
Off we went to pack and go to bed as we were going to Singapore the following day, Loved KL would love to go back again one day!
