Malaysia (continued)

Well the next part of our Journey was going to a large outdoor park where we saw some wild monkeys. This was quite interesting. The monkeys seem so cute at first. They were a bit apprehensive to get close to us but once I found half an orange, this one feisty dude came up and snatched it right out of my hand. He was standing there eating it, only a few feet away. I thought I'd get closer, maybe he likes to be petted. Well he sure doesn't. Haha in fact the second I was within about a metre of him, he tried lunging at me and was hissing and looked quite mad. Suddenly he turns from being a really cute monkey to a pretty scary monkey. Heh that was enough for me heh I wanted to high-tail it out of there. So we continue on our adventure around this "park". There were some neat paths and creeks, it was really lush and tropical. Kind of reminded me of Vancouver. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to explore everything.
Our next trip was to the Penang Butterfly farm. In Westbank, we used to have a place called butterfly world and it was quite similar to this. I got some great shots with my camera, I have new faith in the abilities of my camera haha.
So after we were done in the lovely city of Penang, we headed across the water back to the mainland to the city of Butterworth. There we were to get on a sleeper train to head to Kuala Lumpur! I was pretty excited! So for 38 Malaysian Ringgit (about $12 CND), we stayed in a 2nd class overnight sleeper train. It was fairly small, as shown in the picture above, but it was relatively comfortable. We arrived the next morning at about 7:30am, into the main train station (Sentral Station) which is the hub of KL in terms of the transit and transportation is concerned. From that railway station, we hopped on one of the many public transit lines that could take us to areas of the city. We stopped off in China town as our Lonely Planet "bible" told us that there
I find Kuala Lumpur (KL) to be quite a beautiful city. The city seems to sprawl in the middle of a rain forest. I took the above two photos when walking around downtown to get to the Petrona Towers. The above picture is just outside the Petronas Towers buildings. It was so amazing to actually be here, something I've always wanted to see.
We also went to the KL Communications Tower. This tower is the 4th tallest in the world and has quite a nice view. We went to the lookout tower at night and took some amazing pictures of the surroundings.
Ok, so enough photos of the Petronas Towers haha. I figured I might as well capitalize on the fact that I have a camera and it seems to work well.

So we spent some more time in Kuala Lumpur doing random looking around the city. We met quite a few Canadians staying in the same hostel as us. So we hung out with them for a while and shared stories.

And then it was time for me to get on the plane back to Bangkok. I flew Air Asia for about $58 CND with all taxes. And we're talking a 2 hour plane ride on a brand spanking new Airbus A-320. The plane was so nice, leather seats and everything. Air Asia is Malaysia's huge discount carrier, they're based out of KL. We always fly them for our inter-asia flight needs because they're so cheap. Usually they aren't too delayed. You don't get any food, not even water, unless you pay for it.

As we were flying and during touchdown I decided to snap some more photos. The water on the airplane window turned out really well so I thought I'd post it. So long Kuala Lumpur and Hello Bangkok. I had a great time and hope you enjoyed my photos. I enjoyed taking them!
