Day 154 -- Kuala Lumpur

Slept in this morning and definitely needed the rest from the last two nights. Spent most of the morning wandering around the Central Market with Lea, one of the Swiss girls who played Uno with us last night. At the market we indulged in a fish spa treatment for 10 minutes where these small teethless fish, nibbled at our feet and ate away at our dead skin cells. Felt really strange but feet were refreshed when we got done...@5RMB or $1.33USD for 10 minutes who can complain. After that had some dim sum for lunch and she was off to the bus station headed to Singapore. KL is extremely hot so spent a lot of the day in the hostel common room reading my book, Gangs, which I picked up in Hanoi...fascinating since it talks about 7 of the world's most deadly gangs. Headed to the Reggae Bar to meet up with Mike at 3pm since he got in today...he got settled into his hostel and then a few of us including the Norweigan (still don't know his name...) headed to Little India. Cool neighborhood with sari and jewelry shops everywhere and tons of Indian people wandering around. Had some authentic Indian food and then headed back towards the Chinatown area where we were staying. Had some curry at a nearby restaurant followed by chicken satay at a street stall thats been around for almost 30 years...really cheap at a quarter a stick and amazingly good! Took it easy that night and just hung out around the hostel's rooftop patio since we were planning an early start the next morning.
