After eating very greasy lemon chicken the night before my bowels had gone nuts on me. Great. Ah well we were filled with renewed vigour for KL as we got up bright and early to head to Reggae Guest House. After checking in to our new corner of paradise we decided to hunt down the wholemeal sandwich shop only to find it was CLOSED on Sundays noooooooooooooooo. Decidedly unhappy, we went to Mcdonalds for some grease filled food bought with our free vouchers.
The afternoon was spent looking for laptops. We spent a few hours in Pantip Plaza a hugeeeee shopping centre devoted entirely to electronics. The place was even more crazy than the centre we had been to in Singapore! Hundreds of people milling around everywhere trying to sell you the latest laptops and electronic gear. We had NO IDEA what we were doing. AT ALL. We had no idea of prices, whether the gear was kosher or what. We headed down and across the road to the “official” HP shop. After a bit of negociation we were ready to purchase a laptop each but alas only 1 was available. We were duly informed that if we returned the following day we would be able to buy 2.
Utterly shattered from the heat and general weary nature of KL we went back to the hostel. We were HAPPY to go back to the comfort and loveliness of our new hostel. Back there we settled in for an evening of DVD watching taking in the critically acclaimed Revolutionary Road. It was good, but insanely depressing. Probably not an unrealistic account of the plight of housewives back in the first part of the 20th century though. I can imagine the frustration of being stuck at home not being able to live out your dreams must be somewhat soul destroying.
As we went to bed we discovered the only downside of the hostel was that you could hear the music from the Reggae Bar below. Luckily for me I had my trusty earplugs to save the day. Bliss.
