Entering the land of sudden rains and satay

Oh god, I love satays and Malay satays are the best. I am staying at the Red Palm in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle district. Got into KL yesterday night and had no reservation at any of the hostels but was hoping to get a reservation here. Arrived a little bewildered at KL Sentral station but took the monorail and eventually found my way there. The Red Palm was fully booked but recommended a guesthouse close by. I stayed there yesterday night and staying at the Red Palm tonight.

Anyways, after putting my bags down I walked around the Bukit Bintang area and had some amazing satay. I had five sticks of chicken satay, five sticks of beef satay, and a seafood fried rice. That in total was about 13 RM; equivalent to approximately 4 dollars. Looking forward to trying keow teoy or curry laska or asan laksa.

Malaysia is an interesting country. Really nice people, great food, and not extremely crowded. Too bad people skip it in favor of Thailand or other locations. Although, the large amount of backpackers says otherwise.

Going to be going to Penang tomorrow and maybe headout to the Perehentian Islands. Should be an interesting week in Malaysia.
