No windows in the room, so it was easy to sleep in. Eventually I got up, and decided to walk to the KL Tower area. It was about a 15 minute walk from the hostel, and fairly simple. No hot water in the shower (damn you, Lonely Planet), but it wasn’t so bad. There’s a Buddhist temple behind the hostel, which had a bunch of shirtless and barefoot men in it – and a live broadcast of what was going on inside on display outside.<\/p>\n
Not a lot near the tower, and it was too early to go in, so I headed to the Petronas Tower. Thought I might luck out and get to go up to the skybridge, but all the (free) tickets were accounted for. Wandered around at the KLCC park for a bit, then headed to the Bintang Walk, which just appeared to be the Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, in KL.<\/p>\n
Headed back to the hostel to cool off for a bit, and then it began to rain and rain. Waited out the rain for a while, and when it finally stopped and blue skies appeared again, I headed back to the KL Tower. Got there for 5pm or so, hoping to catch the sunset from the tower (which, according to the video I saw later – is very romantic and will make anyone you see it with fall in love with you). Took some pictures, but it was a little too cloudy for the sunsets full effect. I figured I’d wait till night, but then it started to rain again, so I eventually gave up and headed down. Still raining, so I read in the lobby for a bit, and then a bit longer, and then at about 8:30pm decided I ought to just bite the bullet and grab a cab.<\/p>\n
Bullet bitten, I hung around in the hostel, did some reading and watched the new (and from the parts I’ve seen, pretty horrible) Knight Rider movie\/show. Headed to bed reasonably early, as I wanted to get to the Petronas Towers early to secure a ticket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
