* KL: Bad public transport and almost zero electric vehicles. Might be because a liter of gas is 0.42 € over there
* KL: Pretend-racing cars with exhausts so loud that you wake up on the 29th floor seem to be tolerated
* BKK: Having ridden #BYD cars a few times now, even their lowest models have better materials and production finish than #tesla s, to say nothing of the 3. And more buttons.

* Grab, the Uber of Asia, has so. many. papercuts. and it makes me wonder about their complete lack of UX QA, and by extension the global readiness to replace traditionally US-centric tech
* Petronas towers are absolutely *packed* with Korean influencers trying to get a photo in. It seems to be en vogue to spread your arms in all directions at once to show how much space you can take up/other photos you can ruin

* Motorbike police escorts for VIP cars do not give any fucks, they will whip in front of traffic driving one-handedly, trusting in all other cars to emergency brake
* Under-armour, a clothing brand many desperately masculinity-signalling men seem to wear, make sneakers with easily 5cm lift. I can't help but notice the similarities to SUVs and lifted pick-up trucks...

#traveltales from #kualalumpur :

* Street cleaners stop and wait to warn tourists about a snake that's on the side of a path; they stayed there for easily 30 minutes, just waiting and warning
* A street vendor sharpening his knife on a street lamp post
* Cleaner carrying and lighting _massive_ firecrackers to scare away the monkeys
* Street vendors selling bananas to feed the monkeys with (it was fun)

I love spending mornings in the nearby town centre. I just putter around, have coffee at cafes, buy food for the day or visit the market. Usually I would walk to the town centre but today I forsee a late walk back and don't want to roast on the walk back home. So I drove halfway.

The food at the market is so much cheaper than the supermarket's! I mean, I have always known this but today I found out just how much.
For example, 15 eggs is RM6.90, while the same amount could be about RM9 (correction, it's RM11.50!) or more at the supermarket. Around 180g of minced pork is about RM10 but in the market, 500g of pork is about RM12.

I love markets. Sure, Malaysian markets are not as fancy as the ones in Australia, but it can't be beat for liveliness, variety and prices.

Von Melaka ging es per Bus weiter nach Kuala Lumpur, wo ich die ersten Tage im KL Journal Hotel verbrachte - für mein Empfinden recht luxuriös mit Rooftop Pool, täglichem Room Service und Gratisflaschen Wasser, und einem extrem bequemen Bett (irgendwie sind in den meisten Unterkünften hier die Betten sehr hart).

Ich hab es noch sehr gut getimet, eine Runde im Pool zu schwimmen und auf der Liege einen "Singapore Sling"-Cocktail zu schlürfen (das musste ich nachholen, weil in Singapur vergessen!), bevor es plötzlich einen Wolkenbruch gab und mit voller Wucht schüttete.

Nachdem das vorbei war, ging es auf einen kurzen abendlichen Spaziergang durch das Ausgehviertel Bukit Bintang. Was in Kuala Lumpur so alles jede Nacht beleuchtet wird, ist echt heftig.

I can't get enough lol. It so hilarious that in this video the croc is chillin near the river .... And then there's a GIANT FREAKIN MONITOR LIZARD LAZILY STROLLING PAST

Malaysia boleh 🐊

It's called KL Eco City for a reason k
