Day 57 - first day in Kuala Lumpur

After a delayed flight from Mumbai we've made it to KL (flew over in an enormous 747 with loads of empty seats so everyone was stretched out along 3 seats each). Still recovering from another stomach upset which tainted our last days in India but all in all we were sad to leave such an interesting country.

Kuala Lumpur is another world entirely, a bit like an american city (we don't really have an equivalent in the UK, even London isn't the same) -lots of 'scrapers around - the Petronas Towers are in the distance and we're right in the middle of the business/entertainment district, the Golden Triangle. Everything is so much cleaner here - the trains are excellent and it's a world away from India/Africa. Will be interesting to see how this changes when we venture outside the city.

After catching up on some sleep we wandered around the enormous malls for an hour and had a game of chess in a local pub - drinks v expensive here (10ukp for two drinks each) but we're staying in a cheap place so no worries.

Expect lots of photos tomorrow after our first day on the streets of KL.
