We woke up early and hungry on this, the first official day of our
trip/visa-run to Malaysia! Nothing much was open, so we wandered across
to the massive
Berjaya Times Square located directly north of the
Furama.
A more complicated endeavor than you might imagine—first, it was
pouring cats and dogs outside, so we had to ask the concierge if we
could borrow an umbrella. A 30 ringgit deposit (about ten bucks CAD),
and we were off to the races!
Crossing the street is easier in
Kuala Lumpur
than it is in Thailand because 90% of the streets seem to be one-way,
separated by dividers. You only have to check in one direction before
crossing! Do make sure it is the right direction, though. The drivers
are very much not expecting pedestrians. They park on both sides of the
one-way street, leaving it all rather choked up—traffic is pretty
terrible.
