Well, it was ages ago but we had a really great time in Malaysia! We were only there for a few days but managed to see many of the attractions! Our visit started with a 3am flight landing during which they played an extremely obnoxious song that went something like "you'll love Malaysiaaaa it's truely Asiaaa" which made us doubt the possibility of us enjoying it - but we did! We stayed in the Traveler's Backpackers Hostel and it was great - we were in an eight bed dorm and met lots of people who had been traveling around Asia. We were also staying right next to the Chinatown section of Kuala Lumpur where there was a great night market going on. One day we spent on a hop on hop off bus tour of the city, visiting the National Mosque and botanical gardens along with the huge shopping malls in the city centre. We spent half an hour getting our feet nibbled on by these tiny foot-cleaning fish and it tickled so much we could hardly keep our feet in the water! The next day we spent with a friend from the Netherlands, Thom, and went up the KL tower to get an overview of the city before relaxing in one of the cities many bars. We also took a night boat ride along one of Malyasia's rivers to see fireflies in the mangrove swamps - there were billions of them and it looked as if christmas trees lining the river. On the last day we ignored our budget and spent a whole day at Malaysia's biggest waterpark!
