As we rode the bus into Kuala Lumpur this afternoon Debra and I noticed the amazing amounts of shopping available. We quickly realized that shopping is not just a Singaporean past-time but an all around SE Asian past-time. They eat, shop, eat some more, go to the mall, have a snack, buy something new, eat another meal and the story goes on. We were both excited about this especially since we had Debra's friend to show us around the town. Little did we know that we'd be traveling such style....
Debra's friend Kim shows up at our hostel and takes us outside, we expect to get on the metro, maybe a bus...but nope she shows us to a brand new Mercedes Benz sedan with a driver, yes a private car and driver. Totally awesome. We saw all of the fancy sights while driving around in climate control. Sitting in crappy city traffic ain't so bad when you're in a Benz.
It also feels pretty cool to have people open doors for you, to step out of a nice car and have a hand reach for yours to help you get out, and when you are ready to leave a phone call beckons the driver and comfy air-con back:-) We went bargain shopping after this in the heat and the hostel just wasn't the same after...*sigh
