Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)

We arrived in Malaysia after long travels from the Philippines. It was late into the evening that we made our way out of the airport to what seemed like a sleeping city. Lights were on but everything was so quiet (cars and the few pedestrians made no noise) and clean! Quite the difference with Manilla we had just left behind. At first we thought it must be because of the time of day, but it turns out the next 2 days spent in Kuala Lumpur were just that. The city is clean, almost sterile, and quiet. Don't know where people were but we didn't see the typical asian crowds here. What we did find to our great delight, were some fresh fruits (rambutans, mangosteens, mangoes) and delicious street food! 
We of coarse detoured to see the Petronas Twin tour by night and enjoyed a lovely water fountain symphony. The water, lit by all the colors of the rainbow, dancing to the music was mesmerizing. 

Rambutans!

Food truck and street food

 As we were walking around, we noticed there were some electric scooters (trottinettes) for rent just about anywhere off the street. Alex and the kids got super excited at the idea of trying them out. They managed to convince me (I wanted to call a cab) and after some fumbling around to download the app to access them, off we went on 2 scooters, whining around the area on our way to the Petronas Twin Tours. Funny thing is, they are programmed to keep out of certain areas in the city and stop dead in there tracks if you cross these unseen and virtual lines... so we didn't quite make it to our destination as planned... good old feet, they take you wherever you want to go!

We only spent 2 days relaxing here before moving on. Those who know us well know we are not into cities but rather nature and wildlife and that is what we are after here in Malaysia!
