We had a wonderful trip, but this was one sweaty vacation. Malaysia was humid. And don't you Kansas and Texas people think that you know what I'm taking about, because this was crazy humidity. With that being said, I'm not apologizing for my hair in any photos. Just focus on the smile.
You thought you were coming to the blog to simply look at photos of Malaysia, but I'm pulling a fast one on you and slipping in a history lesson. (Or you are outsmarting me and skipping to the next paragraph.) The Malay peninsula was first settled by traders from India and China. In the 18th century, the British Empire began ruling the area. On December 1941 an hour and a half before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaded Malaysia and took control of the region. After World War II, the British regained command until 1957 when multiple territories came together to form what we know today as Malaysia.
Malaysia is a Muslim country, but there aren't wardrobe restrictions because only 60% of the population is Islamic. Meaning 2.3 minutes after we landed I bolted for the bathroom and changed into some shorts. Hello knees.
Our trip was spent at three different locations. Kuala Lumpur (KL) acted as our home base throughout the vacation.
I’m obviously a pro on all topics regarding KL now, so I have provided you with some lifesaving tips to enjoy the capital city:
2. Roam at the Bird Park (in shorts).
3. Purchase some counterfeit purses and sunglasses. If this is illegal than I just borrowed them for the photo. Here we are waiting to ride one of the many forms of public transportation. This would have been Meghan Vaglio's favorite part of the trip.
4. Go to Batu Caves (which is a Hindi cave temple) and dodge bats in a respectful manner.
5. Marvel at the Petronas Twin Towers.
6. Use phonetics to decipher your way through the streets of KL.
