Kuala Lumpur: Stroke of Luck and Tall Buildings

Just as all hope for ever using airbnb again was almost lost (after the cockroach place), we snagged a 3br penthouse for only $26 USD/night in Bukit Jalil (they have since increased the price to ~$70 USD....??)

This place wasn’t right in the city, but with an infinity pool, sweet observation deck, and even hammock gardens, we weren’t complaining. 

This was the view from the balcony (yes, that is a rainbow):

And from the roof:

We had this pool all to ourselves!!

And I practiced how to be able to drown a little less in case I’m ever thrown overboard:

Speaking of being thrown overboard, it seems like many of the sidewalks in Malaysia (particularly the area we were at in KL) wanted you to die. 

I wonder how many drunk tourists trying to get home at night ultimately fall to their deaths...

There were some fancy restaurants near us. Like this gold one we were too plebeian to go into: 

And we had the most picturesque waffles and lattes:

We sadly said bye to the penthouse after a couple of days and finally went into the city! (Mainly Chinatown.) I bought an overpriced dress here U_U.

And of course we gawked at the Petronas Towers:

There are SO many malls within walking distance in KL (including a multiple story mall for electronics ONLY).

Louie found a bunch of his people (wearing Metallica shirts *cough*) listening to some tunes, too:

After that, we booked a 3 day 2 night trip to go into the Malaysian rainforests.
