KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
Today we journeyed from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur: First we took a local bus over the causeway to the Malaysian border (where we had to get off the bus, go through immigration, get back on the bus, etc.), then at Johor Bahru we caught an express coach to KL, which took about four hours. For almost the entire journey all we could see from the bus were acres and acres of palm trees--not coconut palms, but the kind they use to make palm oil. These were huge tree plantations, which unfortunately have replaced much of the natural rainforest throughout Malaysia.
We made it in to KL by late afternoon. Since we're only staying one night here and because we were pretty beat from traveling all day, we settled for a ratty little hostel across the street from the bus station.
Who'da thunk there would be a Kenny Rogers' Roasters in Kuala Lumpur?
