Life in KL

Made it safely to Kuala Lumpur with no major events on the flight here. Yesterday, we took the Hop on Hop off bus around KL and saw some pretty awesome sites! Today was our first day at work for the company we are helping and it was quite a long day. Looks like we'll be working until 7 every night, but that did not stop us from getting dim sum for dinner!










Here is our hotel room at the Prescott Inn literally right next to our workplace. We have about a 1 minute commute. Guess they are trying to keep us on a tight leash. It's not an especially nice place, but it's not bad for free.










Sunday we hopped off the bus at Chinatown. Awesome knockoffs galore! And then we ate lunch at some place surrounded by food stalls. I got some bbq pork on noodles. The drink is a soda drink called "Kickapoo Joy Juice," which I couldn't resist when seeing the name on the menu.










Here are the famous Petronas Towers to the right. At the base is a large shopping mall full of luxury brands and gardens. The tall building to the left is called the KL Tower, which has a revolving restaurant at the top. I'm sure we'll make it there at some point.











We did some grocery shopping and couldn't resist buying this candy. It's called Double Corn and it is actually soft chewy candy that is made to taste like sweet corn. It's actually good, though the first one tasted rather savory!
