Like Cambodia, Malaysia was a quick turnaround for us. We flew in to Kuala Lumpur (KL) and spent two days walking and monorailing around the city between shopping malls. Also like Cambodia, we hit the ground running and didn't quite let up. One the first day, we arrived super early, as we left Seim Reap in a hurry and crossed a generous time zone. That first day introduced us to Malaysian barbecue, pizza crepes, the first of ten super malls in the city, the fastest airport taxi and tallest flagpole, and reintroduced us to our own beloved Seattle by way of the super cool Malaysian Monorail and the super sweet KL Space Needle.
It's fun experiencing culture in the form of artwork, built environments, and general local activities; but it's also cool to see the differences like the taxi mentioned above. It was a Proton, and in fact, one in about every three cars on the road was a Proton -- a brand/model we'd never even heard of before.
