I got me a haircut in KL, but for the first time I guess I have went to a hair salon. It was dead cheap compare to Norway, but I guess it was expensive in KL. I paid 75,- Ringit, or a bit under NOK 150,- That included 3 people working on my hair, head, neck and shoulders for one hour, just the shampooing took 15-20 minutes, awesome. Then I got like 5 min. of rinsing, around 5-10 min of massage and finally they started to cut the hair, slow and being very careful, still I did not got it exactly how I wanted it, but still satisfied with the full treatment and also the cut even it it wasn't totally right. I have never before had better service at the hairdresser.
Since I got myself a haircut in KL, it also mean that I managed to get to KL, I was not to sure about that on the last blogentry. But I got out on the first plane ticket I had on Friday the 21st, which mean that my second ticket for Friday was a wast of money, but who cares. The ticket that I needed to get from Bali to KL was kind of expensive, even had to pay the luggage for itself at the check-inn, but I did not care really, and hope to get some money back on the travel insurance when I get home. I had an interesting flight over from Flores to Bali, got to talk with a Belgian in the check in, and was seated next to him. Had an interesting talk about relationship and kids and more, one of the very open and honest conversation you sometimes have with a stranger that you never will see again. Interesting. I also got talked to and recognised as a Norwegian on the bus from the plane to the gate, and it was a Indonesian from Flores. I looked over myself, and asked him what made him make that guess. It was my Bergans shorts (Norwegian brand), and the Indonesian had been living in Denmark for 30 years, and spoke off course fluent Danish, which mean that we had a Danish - Norwegian talk on the bus to the gate. Fun.
As usual I took a taxi from the airport to the Red Palm, my home in KL, staying at this hostel for the 5 time in the same amount of year. I like the place, a very relaxed hostel. Had a great driver, since it was Friday the traffic was crazy, and he took all the short cuts he knew about, still he had to stop for a pee on the way, and he also give me the latest insight of Malaysian politic and what wasn't good about it.
I lost a day in KL because of my cancelled flight. I only had one day really in KL. Did some shopping, one shirt, so not much really. Just meant that it would be good to have one more. I also managed to met up with Meng Yee and her boyfriend, for those who doesn't know, Meng Yee stayed with me as a guest 2 years ago and we hiked to Kjerag together, and also her friend Amanda. I urged for sushi again, I do not think I will have that in Sri Lanka, so I suggested that we should go for sushi at the Paladiom, since I have a place there where I usually stop by when I visit KL. It was nice to meet Meng Yee again, and also her boyfriend, great people!
I have in a way found the food street Jalan Alore on this visit, even if it is only 5 minutes from my hostel. I have been there before, but I did not realise that it was so long, since I only have stopped at the top of the street before. I walked the full distance on it this time, and it is lots of great food to find. I had my dinner in Jalan Alore both nights this time, and it was good food for a pretty nice price.for dinner. It is an amazing street, can not understand that I only have been there once before, but from now, I will come back for more food there for sure whenever I go back to KL.
Next destination, Sri Lanka, and that is where I am at the moment, just arrived a few hours ago. a bit delayd flight out of KL, about one hour. The flight itself went as most flight does, without any problems, and so did the arrival and entering into Sri Lanka. Got changed some money and took a taxi to the hotel. Looks like I will have a room for myself on this trip since I have gotten a double bed. Good!
By the way, I am on a Intrepid trip again here, group trip for 2 weeks, so I will have company for the next weeks, which will be nice.
