Hello From Malaysia :- )

On our final morning in Ko Samui we were up early at quarter to 6 to get ready for our bus to the harbour that was coming to get us at half 6. We were shocked when the man came at 20 past because we had been getting used to everything running at least 15 minutes late in Thailand.

After going across to Surat Thani we then continued on in the mini bus all the way down to Penang, when we arrived we asked the driver to take us to the backpacker street to find cheap room for the night. Unfortunately after asking at a few hostels we couldnt find room apart from a run down place. Which we decided to take because we were both very hungry however after a good indian we went back to the hostel to discover how bad the state of the place was, it was awful and reminded me of the hostel in Khosan road from the film the beach!

The following morning we left early and caught a bus down to Kuala Lumpur, luckily it was a big coach with reclining seats so we could at least get a bit of sleep, Jen, the book worm again completed another book on the journey down where as i was just happy listening to the Ipod taking in the Malayian countryside or i was just asleep one of the two!
We checked into the Classic Inn hostel in KL which after a fun ride in a taxi trying to find the place was luxury to us so we just chilled out and had a much needed shower before heading across to Times Square which is across the road from us and then to the Petronas twin tower complex for a look around, I can see a city that thinks its New York here!

On our first full day here in KL we were rather busy, we decided to head to the Sunway Lagoon water and theme park only to find on our arrival (once paying to go in!) that it was family fun day and so the place was heaving, we didn't manage to go on the water slides due to the queues being about 1 hour long and so went in their wave pool and on a water river floating thing!
After escaping the family madness we found a donut and coffee shop combined, we only went there for a coffee but seeing as they said it went best with a donut we decided that we should take their advice and so had a rather nice donut to go with it!

There was just one other thing in Kuala Lumpur that i knew would probably bug me if we didn't see it seeing as we were so close and that was the Sepang race circuit so we jumped in a taxi and off we went.
The circuit just loomed out of seemingly no where and I instantly recognised the sail like architecture of the grand stands, we were able to look around their museum and we told by security we could go for a look further a long the circuit grand stands which we did and managed to catch a some scooter racing going on. It was actually quite amusing to watch, seeing scooter racing being taken so seriously with riders in full tuck position going down the main straight where the motogp bikes top out at over 200mph, I think the scooters were considerably less than this!
We both agreed that on a full pro weekend the atmosphere would be really good in the way it was all set up and I think I may have convinced Jen to come to a motogp race sometime in the future!

It is now our final day in KL and this evening we are on the midnight carriage (coach) to Singapore which should take about 6 hours-ish.
