We arrived in KL after a long journey from Langkawi and were dropped off by our bus in the middle of a huge main road near China Town. We had no idea where we were but eventually with our big rucksacks ( which by the way we are sick to death of and plan to send things home in a box soon as we cannot take the weight any longer!) we found Oasis Hostel which also looked nice on the flyer we had.... WRONG AGAIN! I have never sweated so much in my sleep before, the fan was like someone was blowing on me very lightly aggggggggh! yuk! We left our room pretty quickly and went to find some food. We found a local indian canteen and had dinner here for 1 pounds fifty for chicken korma, rice, chapati, veggies and an orange drink - bargain!
After a horendous night in Oasis hostel we decided to up sticks and find a nicer one, after all we were only paying 2 pounds a night. The next one was 3 pounds each a night and was WORSE aaaaaaaagh! We all know im not a snob but it was filthy yuk! We stuck it out though as decided we only had to sleep here. We found a local canteen again and ate lunch as by now after all our drama with hostels it was lunchtime. Whilst we were eating the heavens opened and the rain came......and didnt leave for nearly 2 hours. We braved the weather and went to the petronas tower ( which is actually taller than the empire state building) and the view was amazing. We were so pleased when we were told it was FREE now this really doesnt happen very often! woo!
Inside the towers is a shopping mall and because the weather was so bad we did have a look around. I did however resist and only bought a pair of shorts which were half price - i need them for Oz! The weather was still really bad and we couldnt see the bird santuary in the rain so we went to the cinema! It only cost 2 pounds - we like KL its cheap! Shame the hostels stink boooooo!
