We met a very nice man at the train station where he brought the tickets for our 1st train he payed 10 ringgits per person that's 50 ringgits! (The exchange rate is 1 New Zealand dollar to 2.4 ringgits) so he paid 25 NZ dollars for us! We tried to pay him back but he refused to take any money that we offered him. He also gave us an extremely helpful pointer towards this hotel. We are staying 3 nights and 4 days here and are planning to go zip lining.
Now, I'm adapting to the heat; I still sweat like a pig when there is no air-con, but am starting to ignore the heat.
I'm now typing this on the 17th rather than 15th we did not go zip-lining yesterday; we had a half day of RnR (rest and recovery). Today we are drifting between the high-lands or the Petronas twin-towers. The highlands is my favorite because it has roller-coasters, rides and more! Where as the towers are just two poles sticking out of the ground. Unfortunately, last night, we were eating the best satays you've never had, when Lockie, mum and Bruno decided to go home. While we were stuffing our face with satays Lockie was ,apparently, spewing up into the bushes (No spew-land this time) when he got home ,however he asked mum for a nice, healthy cup of... can you guess it? No? Well... Computers!! As soon as he got one one his face lit up with joy:
Yep, magic
Last night ,on the way down to the satay place, we saw a strange tank I walked up to it and looked inside: Eeels were swimming around inside it. All of a sudden an idea formed: Guess the amount of eels in the jar, a perfect market day fundraiser!
There were so many that they would be like Christmas lights to untangle! Besides that, there was another jar, with something slimy, small, sinister, succulent, albino and... froggy! Yes, there was a tank of plump, albino frogs there!!
Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Lockie eating them.
While were on the food topic, listen to some exotic satays:
Baby crab satay: "yum yum yum" says the store keeper.
Pork blood satay: "Oooo, chocolate" I say.
Eggplant satay: "what vegetable is purple?" asks Lockie.
Broccoli satay:" ugh! Like it isn't bad enough already" quotes Lockie.
Cauliflower satay: "umm..." says Lockie. Celery satay: "why are there so many vegetables??!!!!!!!!!!" screams Lockie.
Egg with small baby chicken that hasn't developed yet inside: "Yum, omelets" says Bruno.
Also there was the big daddy of all fattening food, worse than KFC (surprising I know!) And it was... (dramatic drum roll) Bacon! The fattiest bacon that you've never seen! and listen to the prices of these titans:
600 grams for... 72 Malaysian ringgit!!!! (to convert that to NZ dollars, half it or, if you want to be precise, remember that 1 NZ dollar makes 2.4 Malaysian ringgits) So that's 36 NZ dollars!! (but you would get a lot of bacon for that!)
