Double post today, because the previous one deserved to be recognised in it's own right.
Today I was finally able to catch up with my friend Jane, a KL/Cheras native. I literally just missed her last time I was here, so it was good to finally have time to just hang out!
We decided to do the lake gardens, Thean Hou and a bit of shopping. The lake gardens were pretty cool and aside from a dead squirrel and a dead outboard motor, the wildlife (including two half-naked fellow tourists) was a sight indeed. We ate ice cream, checked out the Orchid kiosks where Orchids were on sale for as little as RM6 a plant (that is $2 AUD) and posed in front of fountains and bridges.
Next stop was a major mall in Cheras, where Jane and I looked at pretty clothes and shoes, checked out Daiso (Japanese $2 style shop) and had all kinds of drinks at a place called Boston. Wetalked about everything from Religion to travel to politics, then had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant there before cruising towards Thean Hou. The chicken curry was great - spicy and the chicken just fell off the bone!
The traffic was pretty bad and we got to Thean Hou just as it closed, which Jane was very apologetic for - not her fault at all! I can come back another time, no big deal! Jane then dropped me back at the hotel and seemed to like the Kangaroo toy I brought her from Melbourne!
So, here I am at the hotel and in need of a good night's sleep. I will download the photos off my camera and post them up here when I get time and WiFi.
