Saturday was largely a day to rekindle old friendships with some of the marketsmen that we told we have to get more money but never returned...
We started the day off catching the monorail to imbie which was the station opposite our old hotel the melia, which only boasted a 9 story shopping centre with Asia's longest indoor rollercoaster so nothing realllyy special I guess. After doing a bit of market shopping it was time to leave unfortunetly neither of us could figure out which way the exit was. Only 45 minutes later with a couple more purchases under Lauren's belt did we find the exit to the monorail (we must have still be disoriented because we jumped on the wrong direction for the monorail, which is strange due to my impeccable sense of direcion, everyone has their bad days I guess). Afterwards we headed back to bukit bintang plaza where after getting lost in myriad of walkways finally (and regrettably) cross paths with a marketsman that we had haggled with just The other day and said we just needed some money (after telling him specifically NOT to follow us after many attemps). We were then snatched from the walkway and had turnip cream slapped on our faces and hands and so convincinly told to buy 8 bottles, without breaking The hearts of our new friends we spat out the oh so familiar sphrase 'we just have to go get some money' but we don't think they bought it.
After an exhaustive amount of shopping we then went to central market to watch some hybrid performance which turned out to be some old men rambling so we fled to the Chinatown markets where we were in an abundance of friends, one even calling Lauren lady gaga which I can see the resemblance...
Shopping shopping and shopping later we ended The night in the usual fashion, spend over an hour in The rooftop pool with the petronas twin towers illuminated in view, something that NEVER gets old.
Well today we are off to the Batu caves so that should be interesting (all 272 stairs of it =) )
Well stay safe and stay tuned and we will communicate soon!
Kristian & Lauren.
