Goodbye to KL

Time spent in KL was short but fun. Mackenzie, Jana and Taylor showed us around Chinatown and Central Market. We had a great lunch of various chicken salads at the Peter Hoe shop (lots of great items for decorating and furnishing a home plus a cafe). We did not get sick from the fresh veggies (whew, because we are craving fresh, raw food!).
We then went to G Tower. We wanted to go to the Bridge Bar, but I wasn’t wearing pants. They had a no shorts rule. Sorry girls. So then we went up to the rooftop bar. But they weren’t serving until 5pm. It was around 4. Instead of sitting there, we went back down to the lobby and enjoyed a few beers during their happy hours.

Funny aside: while waiting for the elevator, I saw this sign.

I started to sing that phrase to the tune of La Bamba. We had a laugh.

We ended up back at the rooftop bar (pic to come later). I finally had a Singapore Slider, the official drink of Singapore. It was ok. I like margaritas and beer better.

Dinner was at a great Indian restaurant. We ate off of palm leaves (it’s a plate and placemat all in one)! No pics from there :(, sorry.

The night was capped with a game of darts against Mackenzie and Taylor. They won, but only by a couple last minute bulls eyes. Good game, ladies.

And now we’re off to Thailand!

Ciao for now!

Rice Fields and Monkeys

Haven’t had much to write about lately. Uploaded these photos while in KL (an hour before we had to leave for the airport). Next stop is the island Ko Phi Phi off of Thialand. No cars, no planes, no motorbikes. Just boats. And feet. Serenity now.

Only in Bali

Only in Bali can you:

walk in and get a massage at sundown in a little “storefront”
While motorcycles and cars speed by
While cocks crow
While your “therapist” (who has really good hands) fields a call on her cell phone while your face is down in the table
And then proceeds to text message while gently working your neck.

Only in Bali do you get a pedicure in a regular chair while the esthetician sits on the floor
And uses a hair dryer to dry your nails
And has to turn off the 13 inch tube TV before using it because the fuse will blow.

Only in Bali do you get this one of a kind ambiance and unforgettable life experience.
