KLIA Info

This was the KLIA Information counter. They gave out information, but not good information. You had to go back and ask more questions. Maybe it would have been more accurate to say that they gave incomplete information. After three tries I got the information I needed. Both times I went back I got a little more information until, eventually, I got it all. One thing I’ve learned about information centers is that, if you want more time to be able to do your nails and make personal calls while you’re working at an information center, the last thing you want to do is give out good information. People will like your information and they will come back for more.

KL Entertainment

They were having a fair at the central market. For 3 days they had continuous live entertainment on stage these guys were, apparently, local headliners. They drew a really big crowd. I stopped and watched them for a while. They were pretty good.

Airport Express- KL

This is the airport express. It cost me about $11 to ride it to the airport. I could have gotten there for a dollar if I had been willing to ride the local subway (elevated train, actually) to one of the outlying stops on the line and than caught a local bus to the airport. I would have been tempted had the flight I wanted to catch not been taking me home. It was very important that I go home.

KL Monorail

This is the KL Monorail.. It’s sorta like the elevated trains, only a little snootier. It goes to all the nicer sections of town and only has two cars and it has more seats. It’s ridden by a higher class of clientele as it costs a little more than the regular trains. It’s slower than the regular trains, too. You get a more leisurely ride, I guess. All in all I prefer the monorail. It’s also less crowded at rush hour.

Me – KL Bird Park

I got my picture taken with a few friends at the bird park. It cost me about $2.50 for them to use my camera. It was easy. Walk in. Sit down. People put birds on you. Snap, snap, snap. Pay. Leave. I think they had a little cash cow at the photo stall. I could have gotten a really nice high-quality glossy for an additional $10.

KL Bird Park

It’s the world’s largest walk-in aviary. It cost me about $14 to go, a very pricey ticket for KL. Then again, it is the world’s largest. It was a good time. While it’s not a definite must-see, most things in KL are so cheap that it’s easy t have a few extra dollars for the world’s largest anything.

Monkeys – Batu Caves

These are some of the monkeys that reside in, on or near the Batu Caves, and, believe me, there were more than a handful of them. They were all over the place. I worried about stepping on one and having the little critter bite me as a consequence. Needless to say, I’m not a big fan of loose monkeys running around all over the place. However, I have to concede that they were probably here first and I wonder why people built such a serious temple on a monkey habitat. They are, also, seriously overfed. One had a little sign on his lapel that said "I only eat f-r-e-s-h bananas."

Petronis Towers Sky Bridge

This is a picture of the sky bridge between the two towers. It’s basically a walkway that connects the two towers.
