Welp thats a wrap folks

Hello,

Welp as most of you know my journey has come to a rather abrupt stop and i am now back in the great white north i like to call home. So this will likely be one of the very last post on my trip. I have decided to summerize it mostly through my pictures as you sill soon see there are alot on here but i have alot more, about 2800 more infact, though lots of them are duplicates or triplicates so dont worry im not that weird, just gotta take a couple to make sure you capture what your looking for right?? thought so.

Anyways i would also like my readers to make some sorta post even if its a hello, or maybe there fav part of my trip so well i can see what you guys liked about this and well just to make yourselves known to me. I mean not to guilt trip you but this thing takes time to do, and well it was all for you. Yes you and no one else. Anyways this is bob signing out for one last time

flight From Kuala Lumpur, cutting night into day

KL, Yikes

So im now in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, scary as it is, this is probably the craziest place i have ever been but after a few days its grown on me thats for sure. But its also very extreme. This city is well from one extreme to the other, one spot you have state of the art buildings and right behind them you have slums with people cooking your food right outta the gutters. then you have a pocket of jungle right in the middle of town and about 20 monkeys in it, yeah you can say this place is a bit perplexing.

So let me go through some of my findings and experiences here so far.

One day i went up the tower they have here which is the 5th highest in the world, and i must say it has nothing on the CN but i mena it was there right so i had to do it, I then walked around the little patch of jungle and saw about 20 monkeys which were like right at the base fo the tower that for me was weird. but i couldnt stay long cuz the mosquitoes were pretty bad.

The one thing they really have going in this city is SHOPPING, they got like 4 malls that are like 6 stories each one of which is stockked full of designer fashion, and pretty decent prices on the ole exchange rate, its crazy. Though going shopping here as i have found is a bit of an experience, i donno if its just them alone the people working in the shopps or if its the fact that im white and from somewhere else but when i walk into a shop the people drop everything they are doing great me, and then follow me around the damn place watching everything i do like i was gonna steal something, makes things real awkward especially when you like something cuz then they start pulling out things ahhh so brutal.

Next its really hot here and well i have realized why they walk so slow, like first few days i was nothing but angry at there pace it was disturbing. But then after slowing down a bit you realise your not quite so dirty and sweaty by the time you reach a destination. So next time your stuck behind some slow walkers remember maybe they are just trying not to sweat through there shirt before there destination. And then go past them

So yeah the other extreme here is the food, most of it is chinese thai or indian as the population is mostly a huge mix of them. But ontop of that they have an interesting setup here, like little booths setup along the side of the road and you basiclaly just choose one, i must say though the price is right, you can eat like a king here for 10cdn and thats about 30rm here but you can get a decent pad thai for 7rm which is like 2.30 amazingly cheap and so good. The other night we went to a thai food place and the guy couldnt read so we had to point at what we wanted then he would show it to the other guy who worked there then get our food, it was just outlandish for me but thats how it is here.

So one other thing here is they were colonized by the brits so you have this pocket of nice old colonial buildings from when the brits were here just smack dab in the middle of everything you cna litterally walk out of slums into these old beautiful buildings its bizarre.

The coolest has been these monkeys there are these tiny patches of rainforest just among various parts of town and there will be about 15-20 monkeys just walking around doing there own thing. But cool cuz there monkeys i mean first "wild " monkeys i have seen, how many have you seen out there? just wondering thats all..

anyways thats all for now hope all is well and ill be home in a week

Cheers

Stay precious

Farewell Aus

Well Its that time again, leaving another continent. So i flew down from Cairns the day after my diving extravaganza and embarked around sydney for one last hurah. And good it was, my friend Pip came down for the occasion mostly cuz shes awesome and well cuz shes awesome. So she was around and we headed out one night to the sydney jazz festival where there were litterally more people then the last concert i was at and it was a free event, like there wasnt a bit of space to sit on this huge area there were so many people. So that was pretty cool but it wasnt so much jazz as world music. some funky african stuff was playing then a little latino.
The following day we headed down to Bondi Beach were we had brunch and chilled out for a while then headed back into town as we were meeting our friend Kristens other link partner Ben(thats also how i know pip) so they met for the first time in manly, so that was fun i got to introduce the two of them as they were in guelph in two different semesters and i got to hang out with both of them. So we went for some drinks then dinner and then more drinks then headed back to the harbour as ben had a long drive back to the northern beaches. Still good to see him though. Hes ok lol.. that was mainly for when he reads this...
So yeah alot of great times in australia and a great way to end it off with my two fav aussie mates. i really hate saying that word though, something so awkward about it for me.
I would like to do a shout out to pip and her family as they so generously brought me into there home and treated me like one of the family which was probably one of my favourite experiences over here. Thanks
Also i hope you have all enjoyed it and im sure there will be many more to come.
Thanks again and ill get some pics up soon. Got some gems from the airplane on the way outta sydney and leaving mainland aus sooo im pretty happy with that. That last pic there is the last of mainland Australia i saw from the plane. I believe it is to the west of darwin somewhere.
Cheers
And as always
Stay precious
