We hit the malls – this is really the heart of KL; there aren’t too many tourist spots, and not much historical architecture, but if they know how to do anything, it’s build malls. The malls compete for size, and the competition is fierce – the first one we hit is as large on each floor as our local Hillsdale mall, but 11 floors high (and the top floor is “almost” fully occupied). The place is packed with people too, although as in Semporna, I don’t spot many locals actually buying anything… did I mention Starbucks? There is almost no place in downtown KL that you can stand and not spot a Starbucks; I’m not exaggerating, there really are that many – you buy, walk while taking 2 sips, and a new Starbucks is in front of you. I guess in a country where the locals can’t drink alcohol, they have to replace their addiction with something. <\/p>\n
We grab a bite to eat at one of Seb’s favorite mall restaurants, and head over to Times Square – a mall complete with an IMAX (ok), bowling ally (better) and complete theme park with a 7 story indoor roller coaster (this is a mall, right?). We bowl, and Mabel demonstrates that she can, even at less than 80lbs, beat the pants off me bowling. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
