APAC travel

Last week, I had to do some travel for work to Jakarta and then Kuala Lumpur. Meg accompanied me to KL since she had to renew her Thai visa. The trip didn't start out as well as we'd hoped when Meg lost her wallet on the plane. Luckily, we've hoping to get it back this week as the airline did find it.

Our couple of days there were uneventful for the most part. Meg might disagree with that statement though as she spent most of her time shopping. This was very exciting for her since finding clothes in Thailand is very difficult for foreigners (the Thais are so tiny). We snapped more pics of the Petronas Twin Towers - considering the number of times we've seen them, I think we have pics from every angle. Here is Meg trying out a popular Asian pose:



Besides Meg's shopping, the only touristy thing we did was to go to the Batu Caves, a very popular Hindu shrine located 15km to the north of KL (probably one of the most popular outside of India). It involved climbing 272 steps, which were quite steep.



As if the hike weren't treacherous enough, there were macaque monkeys running up and down the steps trying to get food from people. I even saw one violently grab at a woman's sari although she laughed off the assault. So don't let this innocent looking monkey fool you....
