Kuala Lumpur

My trip to Kuala Lumpur was overshadowed by exhaustion from Beijing and made me far more lazy when I was there but it was filled with people who spoke English, lunching at Nando's, peering down from the top of the Petronas Towers, feeling stupid about how excited I was to see shops like Marks and Spencers and Top Shop which made me feel at home, big colonial buildings, mosques, people rushing home to break fast through Ramadan, catching up with missed friends, meeting up with even older friends, reading by the poolside, palm trees swaying in the breeze that promised storms that never showed their faces, a ladyless ladie's night and markets where I expected to see flying carpets for sale. As you can see, I didn't quite have the authentic Malaysian experience, but it was nice to have a few days to relax before going back to Busan.
