Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

13 hrs to Hong Kong, 3 hrs to Singapore, and 1 hr to Kuala Lumpur (and about 6 hrs worth of lay overs) and we're finally at our first destination.  A couple of bus/train rides later and we finally get to our hotel at about 2100, only to discover that the hotel has given away our room.  So you know what that means... UPGRADE!  We got a top floor suite!  We get cleaned up, wash 18 hrs worth of sweat and grime off and head out into town.  Our first taste of Malaysia, a quirky little street side eatery that was a weird amalgam of street vendor/hookah lounge/bar/karoke open mic night.  Strange as it was, I gotta admit that the Laksa was pretty good.  1 bowl:  4 malaysian ringot, or about a little more than a dollar.
