We deposited our bags in one of the luggage drops at KL Central, our flight not until 6 more hours, we figured that we had time to kill. If only it wasn't so hot.
Central was your typical metropolitan city. Buildings everywhere, buses, cars, chaos. Well, not as chaotic as some places I've seen, but chaotic enough to be near annoying. In order to get to the mall (shopping, window shopping), we needed to take a train further in to the city. What we have in Singapore, is leagues better compared to KL, but it's decent public transportation. Unfortunately, there aren't that many english translations on the signage and it becomes a guessing game. Yep, another great day to get lost.
Our exploration this time was urban. Nothing really spectacular where we walked to, but this place is definitely bustling compared to Penang. The malls were clean and plenty. We managed to walk through 3 interlinked malls that offered food, shopping and shelter during our waiting time. Prices were decent, it was slightly cheaper here than in Singapore, but only just. There were more toys (variety) here as well, which was all me and Jakjak needed to know. However, traveling light meant no excess baggage. So we had to manage our hand carry bags.
Buses, or what they call coaches here are a good way to travel. They have enough room for weary passengers and their luggage. Even loud kids. It was also comfortable enough to catch a cat-nap on the way to the airport. We finally landed in Singapore by 10PM and the rest is history. It was tiring, but I have to ask, is there any trip that isn't?
