Flying halfway around the World and first day in K.L

Wedged in an aisle seat between a big Indian (India) dude and a chatty German is by no means the best way to get halfway around the world, first class with a fully reclining seat/bed would have been pretty sweet. The only cool thing about being on a 747 jumbo Double Decker jet is that they have "In Demand Entertainment" with a T.V in each seat. Fortunately for me I feel asleep about an hour into the flight for about 6 hours; unfortunately for me when I woke up I still had about 5 hours to go, Yay for "On Demand Entertainment!"
We landed in Taipei, Taiwan about 6:30 in the morning Friday the 11th, weird thing is we left L.A at 2am Thursday morning. I think that means that for the rest of my life I will be a day younger? Landing in what is formally China for the very first time was a trip. Flying in and looking out the airplane window, the island is just gorgeous on the coast big cliffs lush greenery. When you are flying over Taipei it is very different huge industrial areas everywhere! Smokestack billowing white smoke everywhere, cool thing is at least now I know exactly where half the products we buy in America actually comes from. However I saw no actual sweatshops (or maybe I did from the air?) Everyone on board the plane had to grab their carry-ons and disembark the plane, go around through Chinese security and back on the plane. While sitting in the terminal waiting to get on the plane that i just got off of I noticed several signs with classic "anime" figures warning of what not to bring on the plane, this goes great with the sign the read "Welcome to the Republic of China, drug trafficking is an offense punishable by death." Back on the plane and 5 hours of ODE! later we landed in Kuala Lumpur. Just to recap that's about 21 hours spent on a plane.
Customs was as simple as giving a smile and receiving a stamp, good for 90 days in Malaysia. After a 30 minute train ride I got to the main transport hub called KL Sentral and from there hopped on the mono rail and straight to the hostel I am staying at. Friday was a sit around day, and I went to bed at about 6pm and slept until 8am Saturday morning. Feeling nice a refreshed I took a stroll around the market that is right next door and then walked to the National Mosque. I gotta tell ya those Muslims are friendly they let you tour around the grounds and take all the pictures and ask all the questions you like, you are however not allowed inside the prayer hall. After that I walked to the Hibiscus and Orchid gardens. After a lovely day of sweating my butt off taking pictures in the gardens I walked back to the Hostel grabbing a lovely bite to eat a place called "Pizza Hut" it was great tasted just like back home! I ate a P-Hut mainly because my stomach was feeling uneasy after the flight the previous day so I dared not to try anything exotic on the first day. At dark I went to the Petronas towers and photographed the two awesome towers.
It's 9pm on a Saturday and your a Malaysian teenager, what do you do? Well you go to the HUGE friggin mall just like any teenager around the World it would appear and hang out. The mall I speak of sits under and in between the two Towers. On one side of the mall is a lovely huge park area with fountains and there must have been 1000+ people hanging around, taking pictures and the like. The night was a bit cooler than the day and made for great walking around weather.
Well folks that's it for the first two days, today I am off to the National Zoo and Aquarium! Check out the photo galleries!
