Over this past weekend, Anna, Stacy, Selin, Jeff, Zack, Travis and I headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the weekend. It was another short quick trip, but a great trip to be my last before I head home. We flew in Friday night and arrived to the 6 star Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 80m from the Petronas Twin Towers (one of the tallest towers in the world.) We landed a sweet 2 room apartment at the hotel, sure was NICE!

Saturday we checked out Suria KLCC mall (adjacent to the Towers and the hotel), then headed to Chinatown where they had DVDs, delicious fruits and tons of discount clothing and goods. Afer we went BACK to the mall for more shop. That night we ate at Bijan for Jeff's birthday -- a good Malaysian restaurant. Unfortunately, the dessert was NOT memorable. They gave Jeff Durian cheesecake... and if you're never had Durian I don't suggest doing so. Durian smells like stale garbage! Haha. After dinner we went to Club Zouk to dance the night away. The club was great, played good hip-hop and R&B all night.

Sunday we went up to the Petronas Twin Towers -- but they only allow you up to Floor 41 of 88 floors. What an incredible view though! After, I went to lay out by the pool and met with the others for more shopping. The shopping was good, but nothing comparable to BKK! (Yes I said it Simon, BKK is the B-E-S-T!)

I would love to visit Malaysia again, this time see the beaches and the rest of the country. For more info on Kuala Lumpur, click here.
