I got to Malaysia today from Perth, and once again it was a very early morning. My flight left at 7:15 am, so my taxi to the airport showed up at 4:30 am. I wish the cheap flights were not always the ones that were first thing in the morning.
There is not too much of a culture shock yet. YET! I have only been to the hostel and I think I will take the day easy, relax, sleep, etc. Tomorrow I will do some sightseeing. The woman (Sofie) who runs the hostel I am staying at (red palm, http://www.redpalm-kl.com/ ) told me to be careful of scam artists and purse snatchers. So with that said, I am going to try to be very careful. I am meeting up with Heidi and her friend tomorrow night at a proper hotel near the airport so we can get to the airport for yet ANOTHER early flight to Cambodia.
The cost of things here is so much cheaper than back in Australia. 100 MYR is about the same as 28 US dollars. So today I got some lunch when I got to the hostel at this little place next door, and it was rice, cooked veggies, and chicken for 5 MYR or $1.40 USD. So nice to be somewhere where things cost less than they do in Oz.
Tomorrow I will go to Chinatown and explore the city. It is quite humid here, not the dry heat of west and south Australia.
Today is my 11 week anniversary of traveling. crazy... time is flying.
