Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I’ll keep this blog a bit shorter. We popped back to KL to obtain our Chinese Visas. Let’s just say they have a more reasonable and understanding Consulate than the one in Indonesia. But we were successful in getting approved and after 4 days in KL waiting for the processing to go through we are now cleared for 60 days touring China. Excited-yes, Nervous-a bit….who woudn’t be, China is a bit different: huge language barrier and outside of the big cities, nothing is written in English, so getting around and communicated should be fun challenges. Before we go, we did get a chance to take in the Incubus Concert in KL. We opted for the crazed fans area down on the floor about 20 feet from the stage. We’ve never sweat so much nor been so close to a different culture, let’s just say. What a blast though, we had a killer time and moshed in the pits with all the youngsters, jumping up and down and singing along like a couple of groupies. Christina got more than enough pics of the lead singer. We snagged a few souvenir tee-shirts and drank Angkor Beer and ate Kao Lai to celebrate.
To top it off, we met some cool Malaysian NBL basketball stars that night on the street and they told us about their championship game the next night, which we happily went to and had another great evening rooting on the home team with 5,000 other screaming fans. Our friends lost by 1 point on a last second shot for the title match, but they made an incredible game out of it. Was so exciting to see some pro hoops.
Well, off to China (Terracota Warriors, The Great Wall and hopefully Tibet, here we come)
