Lumpur of the Kuala

I'm boiling here, I don't know what the temp is but its rediculous, I can't wait to get home! hehe Well this morning was pretty uneventful, got propositioned by a shemale prostitute over breakfast and then almost wasn't let on to my flight b/c I didn't have enough cash on me. When I got here I went to the Backpackers Travellers Inn and got the second crappiest room of the trip and its about 500 degrees in there so I have no idea how I'm going to sleep tonight. I also found out the festival I came here to see starts tonight and they march in the streets until 4 am to get to the caves 16 km away where the main part happens. Theres some meeting at my hostel at 8 tonight for more info about it. After checking in I went to find a better place to stay tomorrow and found one right down the street, its twice the price but I think its worth it, it just means I wont stay here for as long and just head back up to the beaches in thailand, what a big loss! heh I wish I could send home some of this heat, I'm sure you'd all love it. So Kuala Lumpur, I was just sitting in McDs having dinner and it hit me where I am. Its crazy, this is definalty the most modern city I've visited, the airport was beautiful and the train into the city was nicer then anything in TO, it had nice little LCD tvs with the news and was very comfortable and fast. I haven't seen much of the city yet just the main street of China town where you can get any fake thing you'd like, I'm sure you could find a place like this in any major city in the world. After the festival tomorrow I'm going to check out downtown and then hopefully I'll do the main business area, where the have the huge towers, the next day. And then the day after that I can go check out this huge park and just relax and get out of here. I'm debating stopping at one or two more towns on the way back, I'll decide in a few days. Well I'm sure at some point tomorrow I'll be back online to write a huge blog about the festival and possibly posting some amazing pictures.
