People watching in Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is like a dirty version of Singapore. Our hotel Katari, is really good as for the price it has the most amazing view of the Petronas towers and the KL Tower but as we are starting to discover really is in one of the skankiest places outside the Putrapaya Bus Station. If you turn right out of the hotel then you are hit with people touting for business to get you on the buses, if you walk left though it changes and takes you eventually on to Bitula Bintang road and this is a great road, lots of shops and a pub that we have taken to siting outside of and watching the world go by. Its perfect for people watching.
Last night for instance we are sat there wondering why people are in a huddle and suddenly this guy stands up and its like 'oh my god' he was enormous and he was just on the pavement touting for people to pay 15RM to have their picture taken with him. It turns out that hes the 2nd tallest man- Ajaz Ahmed in the world. It was funny watching the 3 lanes of traffic slow down and nearly cause frequent accidents. At about 10oclock at night suddenly a parade came down the street of an army band. They were doing their brass band music stuff and then suddenly they all start dancing waving the trumpets in the air. Of course the giant over the road has got the best view leaning over people waving at them with his enormous hands.
Our meal last night was at the Outback Steak House and is probably the first meal that we have had in the past couple of weeks where the portion sizes were actually normal. We rolled out of there bang into a fashion show on the street. It gave Simon a good opportunity to snap like a professional photographer with his flash new camera. haaha i still reckon i get better pics with my little camera.
Sent 3 parcels of yesterday, by sea, will take a couple of months but it does mean when we get home we will have loads of things to open. I reckon at the moment we could have a dining room table to seat about 25 people with the amount of place mats etc we have bought. Oh yes and we are collecting chop sticks. In fact im gonna see if i can pinch some from the restaurant we are going to tonight.
