No one let us get away with saying "Kuala Lumpur"
constantly corrected and taught they call the city "K.L."
We arrived at 5am by an overnight bus and I was sooo tired.
After 8 months of taking day and over night buses we now know what seats are ideal and less desirable. In this case we got the last 2 tickets from Kuala Besut (Perhentian Island dock town) to Kuala Lumpur and had NO CHOICE! We got the last seats on the bus and the seats did not recline! We didn't get sleep and took a taxi to Chinatown. After circling the town and ending up exactly where the taxi driver dropped us off we found the guest house that was recommended to us.
We walked all over town looking for it and it ended up being right where we were dropped off. so sad. Even more sad, it was full and the only room available when the guests checked out was too expensive. Next hotel: booked. Next hotel: Monkey Inn, available and the tiniest room I have ever seen. Almost no room for our backpacks and we are paying 55 ringgit. divide by 3.1 and you have the U.s. dollar value.
We napped and MISSED the free breakfast. Gotta choose sleep over food sometimes.
