Walking Kuala Lumpur..

Walking is what we did yesterday, we figure probably about 12 miles. And it was hot out, around 32, with no breeze and not a lot of shade, but we suffered through it....

First we walked up through the Indian street markets and over to the National Monument, which was designed by the same guy that did the Marine Corps War Memorial , the Iwo Jima monument, in the US.Malaysian National Monument

From there we wandered through one of their large parks, down through the Chinatown market and their rows and rows of knock off purses and watches. Where we finally decided that we had walked too much and just needed to take a taxi back to the hotel...

The taxis here are funny, as they all refuse to use their meter and instead charge a flat rate. I get stubborn and we climbed out of a few cabs this weekend after arguing with them over the fare and their insistence that either a) the meter is broken, or b) nobody uses the meter, you'll pay this much with any taxi. It's an odd thing to be bartering for a taxi ride.

From there we went to a nice rooftop bar to watch the sunset.

After the sunset we then out for a delicious Indian dinner, truly a great meal for our last night in KL. Then up to one of the bar streets for a drink before heading back to the hotel for an early night.
