KL Killer Night

Last night I got completely smashed on some dodgy rum, Stanley Morgan which is a blatant rip off of Captain Morgans.

Met a cool Irish couple in Penang who I keep bumping into in Kuala Lumpur and met a mad girl in my dorm and we all congregated on the rooftop bar of the hostel and picked up a few other drinkers on the way. After going to the KK mart across the way to get coke and rum we ended up at the bar until we got kicked out at three, we then went and found a table on the street, bought more rum and kept drinking, we then got kicked off that table so found another one, more rum and I think we then headed home. After about an hour of watching the roof of the dorm spin Lizzie came over and said she wanted to smoke, I opened the window and the girl on the bunk above immediately slammed it shut. Not impressed methinks!

So we got up and went to the Chinese food court around the corner, got some dodgy juice and put yet more rum in that. A table of old Malay men looked over with a knowing glance! About seven, maybe eight am we rocked back up to the hostel and apparently made a hell of a lot of noise, pissed off everyone in the dorm and kind of slept for a bit.

Now in recovery mode, had a KFC and a load of water and getting back to normal, it's the first day I've had to write off to a hangover since I got here, I'm sure there will be many more!

I have been a tourist here though, went and had some fun in the National Mosque, they give you these purple cloak things to make sure you're all appropriately covered up and it feels like you're part of some cult. Everyone is walking round in these cloaks, hoods up and it looked like something from Eyes Wide Shut, an orgy may just have broken out at any time! oh and the Islamic Art Museum, pretty boring stuff, more artefacts than actual art, not impressed. Seen the Petronas Towers a few times, not made it there yet but apparently you have to pay nowadays so might skip it and go to KL Tower which has a higher viewing platform and not as hard to get in.

I'm here until I get some post which hope beyond all hope will be Friday then off to the Cameron Highlands where the weather is cooler and there are tea plantations and other things to see. For now I'm enjoying KL...
