To start I guess I'll rewind to KL, which was an city for exploring, eating and indulging in western comforts. I payed US prices for a few good cups of real coffee and a latte here or there, which here is exorbitant, but if you know me, you know how I feel about my coffee. That's an expense I'm willing to indulge in here every now and again. We went to see two movies in the cinema, a cheese ball rom-com called
Love and Other Drugs and the well crafted, action packed,
Sucker Punch, which I really enjoyed and would recommend if you haven't already seen it. The music in that film is just as epic battle scenes.
As I may have answered before, we are creatures of habit when it comes to our food. If we find a place with good food and good prices, it's likely we'll eat there at least two meals a day. In Koh Phangan it was My Friend, in Penang it was Yaya (I think that was what it's called), and in KL it was Bakti, all the way.

| Paneer, paneer, paneer, in whatever form. Bakti, thank you for filing our bellies with so many delectable meals. |
Then there was the day that we went on the quest to find the park, and let me tell you, it turned into nothing less than an epic quest for the ages. We managed to walk an hour out of the way, getting the grand tour of the KL highway system. After the spins set in from the exhaust fumes, we excepted defeat and set a new course for a 7/11 where we'd ask directions, get some big waters, and refuel with a Kinder Egg (mostly out of Katy's desire for the surprise inside). With our new directions memorized, we set off, confident that we'd find our way this time.

| The journey begins |
 |
| We put far to much in that tiny Lonely Planet map and our skills of deciphering it. |
 |
| Katy, always dodging the camera, can't escape the fastest draw in the west. Also, note the Kinder Egg and our new little friend and his pimped out ride. |
So eventually, we managed to get so lost that it was easier just to go back to our hostel when we saw familiar landmarks, and ask them directions. As it turns out the directions are surprisingly simple.
 |
| Architecture in KL was as diverse as the culture. |
|
 |
| This beautiful building is, in fact, a train station |
 |
| This shrine is extremely colorful and detailed, I'm a little sad a didn't get a shot of it during the day |
And a few shots of the park...once we finally got there.
 |
| A funny photo from the colorful tunnel to the park |
 |
| It was green, green, green |

 |
| Katy's skills again, look at those tootsies |
 |
| Our little Kinder Egg friend and his pimp mobile |
 |
| The coolest playground ever |
 |
| There are lights hung all around KL, making the evening scenery just as beautiful as the daytime. |
And then of course, there's a few shots from the night life. We didn't explore too far into the clubs and bars of KL cause they were a bit pricey, but we found our comfort zone in the Reggae Bar which gave special discounts for ladies 5 days out of 7 and a dance floor that we initiated every night that we were there. You know we know how to get down.

| Kiernan attack! |
 |
| A little Thai Whiskey never hurt anyone |
