We are staying in a nice and cheap guesthouse right in the downtown KL area. Everything is in walking distance, or easy to get to via the skytrain. KL is a much nicer city than Bangkok and the people all seem quite genuine and friendly. We took an organised tour of the city and saw the Petronas Twin Towers, the National Palace (where the King lives), the National Museum and Merdeka Square where the council buildings are.

Kuala Lumpar means the meeting of two rivers and used to be a small tin mining town with a large chinese influence. It is only since the British pulled out that the Malaysians have built it into the city it is now. Being a new city the public transport system is excellent and the buildings are quite spectacular.

Yesterday we took a day out from culture and took a visit to Kuala Lumpars theme park 'Sunway Lagoon' it wasnt really an Alton Towers, but we had a good laugh and the Waterpark was awsome.

We made sure we got into as many camera shots as we could waving the England flag (yes Paul brought his England flag with him) and wearing our England shirts! (unfortunately im sure that the British contenders were Scottish and Welsh... oops!) Make sure to look out for us on TV (at Christmas).

I also got a photo with one of the contenders, Bert something... I think he was Austrian... he made me look so small. I told him i'd train up for next years event.
