Luckily, my group (college buds Fernando, Stephen, girlfriend Malia, fellow teacher Rylan) and I were fortunate enough to get a hefty summer vacation all with the same dates, so we planned out a jam-packed trip to Southeast Asia. We discovered flights to be cheaper if we stopped through Kuala Lumpur, the hub for our airline, Air Asia. Kuala Lumpur is a healthy mix of Chinese, Indian, and Malay, so it goes without saying I was excited for the food there. I wasn't disappointed. Cheap and delicious. Kuala Lumpur is a massive city and we only had a couple days there, so we planned to only see a few things. This wasn't a Malaysian vacation, anyway. It was just en route to Indonesia. So we stopped by what we deemed the essentials. Steve and I went to the top of the Petronas Towers, the world's largest twin towers. We also went to the Batu Caves, one of the most famous Hindu sites outside of India. Luckily we visited the KL Bird Park, the world's largest free-flight, walk-in aviary. Other than that we ventured around Chinatown and the City Hall-like area, basically just aimlessly browsing. It was fun. A good first step toward our end goal.
