Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We left Phu Quoc Tuesday around noon - after another swim -  and spent the rest of the day traveling to Kuala Lumpur.  Both flights were on time and we arrived around 7:30pm.  There was an efficient express train to the centre of the city and then a short cab ride to our apartment/hotel.  The Lanson has efficiency rooms.  Our spot is very spacious with a modern kitchen (includes washer/dryer), a bathroom with more shower heads than I know what to do with, a living room with corner glass windows and a bedroom with a kingsize bed.  All on the 42nd floor overlooking the Petronas Towers.


Our rooms and views from our windows.
Breakfast was on the top floor and it was stunning - the view and the food.  All this is costing $356 Canadian for 3 nights.  We got a deal since it is usually twice that.  I keep wondering if that is the price per night since this is such a find.  After breakfast we visited the National Mosque.  60 - 65% of the population are Muslim and the Mosque usually has 1000-2000 worshippers at this one mosque each Friday. I was required to wear full dress for women.
We were given a short history of the mosque and of the muslim faith.  This building is quite new.
We then visited China town.  It was OK but not note worthy in my opinion.  

We managed to find our way back to the hotel and Frank is out now trying to rustle up some lunch to bring back:)
