Cityscape

Still trying to work out a game plan for Malaysia, but to be honest it really so far does involve a fair bit of relaxing and nothing to stressful. Both Tom and myself have been working hard to save up for travelling, and will continue when we get back to Vancouver, so now is a good time to just chill and relax for awhile.

We are staying right next to the Patronus towers which as super impressive, but it's amazing how western the malls are underneath the towers. It's weird, just like being back in Aus. I know it's not the same, however it's the closest I've seen since I left home.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The travel here was quite interesting, on the Seattle to los Angeles flight was sat next to a really good guy from Seattle, who was flying to Australia to study! So we had great chats the whole flight, and ended up having dinner together and a few drinks at the bar. It was like some Christmas movie...where we where in Denver and snowed in or something. It was just really nice for both of us, I could tell him about Aus, and vice versa.

The flight to KL was interesting...I found out when I was looking at the board I has read my flight wrong. Turns out it wasn't a 14 hour flight. It was a 14 hour flight to my STOPOVER IN TAEPAI! and then two hours there and ANOTHER 4 hours to Malaysia. On finding this out, my initial reaction was to swear, and then try and find out where Taepai was. Turns out I was going to Taiwan. Interesting. And unexpected. We all got pulled of the plane and had a random security check, which I find intimidating after they announce on the plane over the PA that they are required to remind us, the penalty for drug trafficking is DEATH. Riiight. Lucky I had left all the drugs in Bolivia. (only joking dad, I can't afford drugs...beer costs to much).

Will update again later, hope to talk to everyone soon. Also, Erin, totally hope to catch up with you in canada, we'll be heading to Toronto later in the year, I'm not sure how long you will be there for, but let us know!

Love
Sarah

hey girly!
Well, I'm freezing my arse off over here in Toronto and you're sunning it up in KL. Nice! Although I don't think I'd trade in the beauty of the snow for the feeling of humidity right now.

When will you be back in Canada? Any plans of coming over Ontario way?

Best wishes with the rest of your travels my dear. Hope they're a little less stressful than Bolivia!
:c )

Hiya! Yeah, pretty easy going compared to Bolivia...and loving the heat. Never was quite emotionally prepared for the concept of 'snow'. Although I'm finding I'm missing Canada. Totally heading to Toronto, looking at June to get there, want to catch up for some beers? What are you doing there? Did you end up bartending?

Hope to talk to you soon,

Sarah
