Having been to Melaka for a couple for days and not really done much we retuned to KL for the MotoGP hoping watch Valentino Rossi crowned as MotoGP champion. It was a bit of a rush job as we didn't find out until last night (on the BBC website) it was actually in Malaysia. Had we known about it a few days ago it could have all been planned easily but at the moment we were literally hours away with no ticket. We were already booked onto a KL bus at 11am but with t...

We had an hour or so to waste so went had breakfast in the KLCC mall then returned for the tour.The tour consisted of a brain washing video in which you soon learn that Petronas (Malaysian oil and gas company) is the best co...

Risking it a little we tried Chinese again but this time for breakfast. To be honest it was a little better, simple Chicken and rice. We wanted to head to one of the huge shopping malls KL (it seems the locals call Kuala Lumpur "KL") so we walked to the nearest LRT station (Light Rail Transit). It's no where near as extensive as London Underground with only 3 or 4 different lines including the Monorail but it was a really good service which got us acros...
