The adventure to K.L... And HELLA Gucci!!!

So as planned we started our adventure against Kuala Lumpur, It was me my roomie Martin, the US guys D-Bag (Daniel) and Big Sal (Sauvik) and the deutch, with no plans at all except to get there on some way we went of from campus area by 5.30pm... Heading for the border in two cabs!!

Yeah, we did have to wait for big sal and his deutch fellow... Boooring start!

We went true the first border after an hour then we WALKED over the bridge to Malaysia... Cars and motorcycles drived like crazy and the sidewalk ( pavement :D ) was so tiny, but we survived and got to the next bordercontroll. This border took about 10-15 min, so strange how it can be such a different... Singa and their fukked up rules, you aint even allowed to brings some chewing gum across the border in Singa, cause then you got a fine!!!

Yeah thats J.B from the bridge!

Finally we where in Malaysia, in J.B , but were should we go now? All we know was that some express buses departed from Larkin bus station. So heading for Larkin was the plan, we where lucky and meet and kind man as worked on the MRT i Singa. He helped us to catch a bus to Larkin...

The first impression of Malay was people who shouting TAXI, TAXI and tryed to make us get in to their taxis, and we had only crossed the border with a couple of meters and there was already a huge differens to how it is in Singa...

Dirt and garbage everywhere, the sidewalks have huge holes and their is poor people sitting/laying everywhere... Sometimes i wished they had some D.P!!!

Hm whatever it could have been worse!!!

So after a qiuck bus trip and some haggling for a bus trip to K.L we finally had our tickets, The bus where suppose to departure 9pm, But after a while we realized that the bus would not departure until the bus was filled up.. So of we went to K.L by 10pm...


D-bag and his cat, while we waited for the bus...

Not the best bus ride I have been on but, it could have been worse... At least me and D-bag got the best seats in the whole bus, some much spaaace for our legs HELL YEAH... but was aint even wort a mind of getting some sleep on the bus!

Finally heading for K.L

After 4-5 hours we arrived in K.L, so where to go now? To find a place to sleep would be awsome... but with no knowledge of where we were, or where we could find cheap living we struggled towards down the street, we did se a sign with "backpackers in".. but there were no room for us there...

By the end of the street a man looking like Gandalf tryed to give the deutch a paper, first he refused to take the paper but he did get it at last... But Gandalf was quick and walked around us and he managed to give us his message... He had room for us at a hostel.. Stange! So we did follow Gandalf, tired and freigtened we got in to an elevator, daw it where hard to imagine from the first impression, this was kind of i nice hostel.. and cheap as hell.. we payed 12 ringas each, thats like 4-5 Sing dollars ( 24 kr) per night!!

Hungry and tired a couple of minutes later, really not knowing if we wanted to sleep or eat, Gandalf came shouting, guys.. there are some girls in the lobby that arrived earlier today, I think you should go and talk with them, they are also from Singapore! And we had some seconds earlier decided for getting some food, so we went down... said hi to the girls that was from UK and then we went for some food... Did not know where to go, so we went in one direction, but nooo food was found so decided to go back for some beers in the lobby, and some comparing of the schools in singa and so on...

Next morning we got up kind of early, and the only destination for the day where to get to chinatown and buy cheap clothes and other "genuine copied" stuff.. Did not know exactly where it was but we had an direction of where it was so whatever just go there, a couple of minutes later we found the place called Jalan Petaling, you could tell it from the smell and the people shoooting FRIEND FRIEND, come come SPECIAL PRICE for you!!!


China town, And HELLA GUCCI

Big Sal got him self lots of FRIENDS!

We did spend some hours there, haggling for better prices, the prices was not even high from the beginning but it was the haggling that became the game of the day..

Went home and got ready for exploring other stuff in K.L.. And then the rain came.. But even daw, we went and saw those towers... REALLY beutiful!! but not that exiting!

The twin towers, I can see the sun!

Went home for saving some energy for the nights adventures, but it was boooring... So me and D-Bag went for the haggling again... went out from the hostel and felt some rain drops.. Told him that hey, do you think it will start rain.. WHATEVER he shouted and before we know what happened to rain almost drown us... But we got saved under a bridge with a bunch of locals, struggling for awoiding the rain we decided for going to an restaurang in the near! A coup of tea was just what we needed...

The Rain stopped and the haggling begun, for real.. we had practised it earlier and now we knew the rules..

Later on the night we went for a bar called "Reggae bar", nice place not so cheap and big but fun anyway... And they had the best beat-box performance by some young fellow I ever have seen!

Kind of drunk we struggled through the china town that was about to close down and Hi-fived every one we saw.. Sooo funny!!

And then the weekend ended by taking a Super VIP bus back to Singa, Sooo nice...

The weekend was defenitive worth it, lots of adventure and just what we wanted!!
