Kuala Lumpur

Back in KL, feels different than last time. Most likely because I have been here before, but also because I have been in more places in Southeast Asia since, so it feels safer and not that strange. Have off course booked my bed at the Red Palm, the best hostel in KL, haven’t tried anyone else, and I do not have to. One complain, a very bad water pressure in the showers. But location, staff, bed, is excellent.

After a couple of nights it sort of hits me that it feels like I haven’t been home for 10 mounts, it feels natural to go to sleep in a bunk bed in a room with strangers and eat out, maybe I should live my life more like this. Well, maybe not, will most likely be good to get back home again too, but still 6 weeks to go.

KL, i do a hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus trip around KL, which is good, gets a lot better overview of the city and have a little walk true China town and little India and a pizza stop in the Twin tower. Recommend it as a starter of KL. Must admit that I do not jump off to much, tired and are almost falling to sleep on the bus, but that is the jet leg talking. Have one of the other day a tour in KL tower, which also was good for a overview. Are all of the days in KL struggling with been sleepy after the flight, not doing to much else that the stuff mentioned, reading a lot. AND, not to forget the couchsurfing party, great success, still amazed about how many showed up, fun night out.

Next stop is Singamata outside Semporna on Borneo. Looking forward to get back there, loved it last year, which also make it a bit risky, easy to get disappointed. Will not meet the same great people that I met last year, but hopefully some new great people. Will be good diving, lots of reading and relaxing, hopefully also sunny. The monsoon season is running late this year and it have rained a lot.
