I arrived on a red eye at the Pullman at 3 am. As there was no room ready I sat for 4 hours grading and doing work. I paid for the buffet breakfast and my room was ready super early after that. Lucky since official check in was some time away.
My only tour are hop on hop off which I used to sightsee until it became too hot. Touring the gardens and aviary was great but very warm out. I then retreated to do more work.
I did not do the Batu caves. A lot of people say you should but I’ve already seen karst formations in Halong Bay and Laos. The cave I saw on the Mekong was amazing and not commercial. Reviews of Batu caves depict how commercial it is. Yes there is a giant gold statue. I was fine with skipping it.
I left the bus at the botanical garden stop as walking was what I needed and it was close to the aviary (I really love birds!) And the orchid garden (which is closed right now for remodeling).
Petronas twin towers which were built by 2 countries. The winner in completing first won another construction job.
China town
Sri Mahariamman Hindu Temple
Night tour to see the lights. Not much narration. I was too tired.
Ice cream in Chinatown. Lemongrass-ginger and plum-honey. Yummmm.
