Our last day in Malaysia was their Independence Day. Didn’t light any sparklers or have any BBQ picnics…..Although I did manage to get off the boat for some R&R. I did the comrel, but that wasn’t downtown so I was glad I was able to get off the boat. So yeah yesterday Malaysia celebrated 50 years of independence. It was of course, quite abit ordeal for their country. I guess they had an pretty intense fireworks show the night before last around midnight, but I was fast asleep at that time. Me and some ‘friends’ (thats a stretch) went in on a really nice room at the Dorsett Regency in Kuala Lumpur. (The capital of Malaysia) Didn’t do much….went to Hard Rock cafe to get another Hurricane glass for my growing collection. Went past the tallest buildings in the world (till 2004) Malaysia
we went to China Town... thats where the cheap DVDs and knockoff purses were.. Never much been into the whole designer bag thing so I passed on those, but did cash in on the DVDs. (as mentioned earlier, I got the entire SIX FEET UNDER series, the fourth season of NIPTUCK, My Name is Earl ~Season One and Two~ (wanted to change it up a bit & buy a comedy series….) Big Love, and the movie REIGN OVER ME. It was soooo hot, I couldn’t stand in one place for longer than about 3 minutes. Walking through this ChinaTown Market was hilarious. They were worse than the Carnies at the fair….everywhere you looked they were wanting to spray you with knock off perfume or have you try on a knock off ROLEX, or buy a knock off Louis Vuitton or Coach bag. Funny thing is, as dirty as it was there….the local ‘vendors’ were determined to keep their booth areas clean! haha
