Malaysia- Part II

After a good night sleep for me and not so much for Latanya we awoke slowly. Not having a lot on our itinerary we decided to take our time. We had some toast and coffee then headed out. First, we wanted to see the National Mosque which was quite big. We had to put on the garb to go in as well as take off our shoes. It was interesting and the first mosque we have ever been in. After the mosque we continued our walking tour to the Lake Gardens which were really pleasant. The park was huge with beautiful scenery like fountains, grass, and play areas for children. We made our way to the National Monument where they had a few statues representing Malaysian freedom from colonial rule as well as a tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for freedom.

Other sights we saw were the old train station, city hall, the Colonial district, and Chinatown. We had some great chicken fried rice washed down with a couple of Tiger beers at a little resturant in Chinatown. After Latanya looked through the petaling street of knock offs then went back to the guesthouse to regroup and plan our Indian dinner.

After a little rest we headed back to the streets to explore Little India. Little India was full of Indians, imagine that. There were many fabric stores and stalls. People were walking up and down the alleys trying to find the best deal. Little stalls were set up throughout the area serving up curries. We walked around for awhile then headed back to our area to pick up some parathas and curry to go.

We brought it back to our guest house, had dinner, and played a UNO, where I dominated, of course. Took a shower (there were only two showers and toilets in the hostel: one for the males and one for the females, repacked our bags, and called it a night. We had to wake up at 2am tomorrow morning to make an early flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Angkor Wat here we come!!!
