Malaysia

i know, i know. 2 posts in a row. amazing.

stayed the night in bangkok yesterday, which was a lot of hassle for very little sleep. and holy moses is it HOT here! id slowly started adjusting to the biting cold in taiwan, and then im thrown back into 34 degrees and humidity. its awful! anyways, i flew to Kuala Lumpur this morning. im staying in chinatown, which is a pretty happening place. lots of shopping to be had. there isnt a LOT to do in the city, the twin towers, which is the 2nd tallest building in the world (1st place until taipei 101 was built). there are some caves outside the city im going to tomorrow, and on wednesday i might take a bus to singapore (i love that i can just "take a bus to singapore") and stay there for a couple days. i wandered through the markets tonight, and somhow emerged with a giant Fendi suitcase. im not entirly sure how it happened.. theyre so efficiant/manipulative! you agree on a price and before you know it, its packed and in your hands! i walked away twice and got the price down significantly (like 1/5 of what he wanted) ut now i have to carry around another suitcase... there may also have been a couple louis vuittons thrown in there... (so cheap! how can i not?!) luckily i stayed away from the dvds.. for now...

the humidity is still killing me, but my guesthouse only had an a/c room left, so i "settled" and am now sleeping in semi-cool comfort. air conditioning and fendi. high class backpacker
