Day 55: Twin Towers!

Mood: Worried
Music: Assorted dance, including The KLF - Last Train to Transcentral

This morning we were picked up by a bus at 8:30am after packing our still wet clothes into plastic bags inside our luggage and strapping our still soaked shoes to the outsides of our baggage. The bus took several hours to snake it's way down the old road until we reached a motorway that would take us down into Kuala Lumpar.

To entertain myself during the journey I read a little, listened to music and watched the film (Salt) they had on a screen at the front of the coach. I could just about make out the chinglish subtitles on the screen and read these rather than trying to make out the sound on the bus's speaker system.

We were advised to get off in Chinatown rather than at the central station by the person loading us onto the bus from the hotel but when we got there we realised that to get to our hotel we actually needed to go back to the central station and change from there. This meant a brief ride on the monorail again before changing onto the underground train line running towards the twin towers.

Our hotel is located directly opposite the towers and our room on the 30th floor gives us a lovely view over the park below and the towers themselves. Rolf is pictured looking out of the window this evening.

This afternoon was spent having complimentary afternoon tea (2:30pm - 4:30pm) in the lounge a couple of floors above us and then complimentary cocktails from 5pm until 7pm... Free bar, free food, what more can you ask for?

This evening we went down to one of the restaurants for dinner. That means that we've not left the hotel since checking in at about 2pm. Oh well, what can you do ;)

Until tomorrow.

PS. The Worried status is related to the events in Japan through the day. Obviously I'm keeping a close eye on the nuclear developments as well as the Earthquake / Tsunami carnage.
