I arrived in Kuala Lumpur airport to find my friend Young waiting for me at my gate. We will be spending the next three weeks traveling Southeast Asia together. The first two stops are places I have been before but I am excited to visit again.
KUALA LUMPUR
The capital of Malaysia and the former seat of the British colonial power in the region, Kuala Lumpur is a rapidly growing city with an interesting history.
Drinks at our hostel's rooftop bar...
...with great views of the city.
The Brickyards--KL's little India
The food here is incredible...especially the vegetarian
Too many turtles at the Chinese temple.
The old British colonial administrative building looks like a moorish version of parliament.
The old British train station
SINGAPORE
Our arrival in Southeast Asia turned out to have great timing. Young's cousin was finishing his study abroad program in Singapore just as we got in which gave us the opportunity to pay him a visit. Crashing at his apartment made visiting this expensive city easier on our wallets.
Turkish food on Arab street...is this Singapore?
Free concert at Marina Bay
Squirrel Monkeys at the River Safari
Hindu temple in little India
Street side shops and hawker food in Chinatown
Really gonna miss this incredible city, but I'm excited for uncharted territory--Indonesia
