Lost in Kuala Lumpur
2014-03-29
Saori Saori" in Philipines means to wander aimlessly, I do this often, now without the aid of my compass (stolen from my home in the states) I walk through Hindu, Moslem, Buddhist, Lutheran neighborhoods without fear. A simple smile is always returned. I sample street food from all cultures and make serendipitous discoveries and acquaintances. When I get tired . I turn 720 degrees looking lost. within minutes I am approached and asked "can I help you?" In Malaysia 3 languages are taught in school! I am soon directed to the nearest Bus or train and am on my way back to my familiar location. Today I returned with an SD card to take more pictures, new pair of shorts, 2 books from Buddhist temple, and flower necklace. spent <$US15.

Notes: Malaysia
: Quadruple standards - ethnic Malay 60% get priority for schools & govt. jobs, ethnic Chinese 20% own 50% of biz., ethnic Indian working class _SOL Foriegners pay 2-3 times the price for purchases- even 10 times for the naive.. however my 4-5 days cost me aprox $US150 total - mostly travel xpense
for me it is , Get me to a subway train, KL is a big place! and AnaZImG!
Nice! I do "saori saori" very often too... And LOVE KL. I walked a lot there as well! Brings back good (and tiring) memories!
In KL, I always figured: look for the Petronas Towers . That will give you a clue!
