There's so much to do in KL!

We have loved KL so far. It's brilliant. There's only 1 part we haven't liked, and that's the attitude and the stupidness of the staff at "D'oriental" where we spent the last 2 nights. In a nut shell you didn't get what was advertised, booked and paid for. Including breakfast! The daytime however has been a completely different story! Amazing...

It all started as we found the KLCC. Shopping heaven. Neither of us are overly keen spending the entire day shopping, but this was different! The KLCC is huge. Thre are about 14 floors and the floors are larger than the trafford center. You can buy anything! There were about 100 different places to eat, maybe more. We spent a bit of time chilling in starbucks again with toasted banana and chocolate muffins, and wandered about the whole day. We were going to see a film (all in english) but there wasn't anything that interested us. I can't believe we didn't lose interest - there was just so much to see and do in there. Another bonus is that the whole thing is air conditioned so you can escape the heat of the day. That was Saturday day. Saturday night was pretty good too. We managed to get ourselves very drunk in a posh (expensive) bar over the road from the beach club. We didn't go in the beach club because they wanted 7 quid entry each. It was just a simple normal bar. And the beer was about 6 pound a pint as well, so we thought NAH. Over the road we got in before 10 so for free, and stayed until the early hours, dancing away! Legless...

Yesterday we fell upon another shopping mall - 2 actually. The first we found was "Low yat" with 10 floors of nothing but electrical gear. Any computer geeks idea of paradise. We ended up buying a laptop. Couldn't resist. We figured all the money we spend in internet cafe's will make up for the purchase ;-) You can get free wifi all ver the place. Over the road was another mall - a bit like the KLCC we found the previous day and probably just as big. This one had a 50 lane bowling alley in it which we had a go in, and a rollercoaster. It's a bit strange when you're not expecting a rollercoasted to go screaming past you overhead!

This morning we had another do at "D'Orienal" idiots when they tried to tell me I hadn't paid for the previous 2 nights. Soon cleared that up and headed back to the lovely Tune hotel in a much better part of town. Same price, 10 times better! Also we can get all our clothes washed and dried for a quid - D'oriental wanted a quid for each item and we had about 30. ARGH!

All in all - we're having a fantastic time. Neither of us are even considering where to go next we like it that much. maybe we'll only be able to stay for the 4 days we have here at the Tune Hotel and then we'll have to move on. We definately want to visit the water park - Sunway lagoon I think it's called. They have a hot spring which opens up at night too. So we're planning to spend a whole day there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUEANNE!!!!!! Sorry that we didnt get to speak to you!! I callled your house 3 or 4 times and just got your machine.. Hope all you three are doing fine though? Hows Lowan?? Me and jem are having a wicked time though so dont worry about us and will speak soon xx
