Day 7: Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur

Yum..?  Fat frogs at the street market

The first half of the day was pretty laid back.  I went to the nearby street market where fruits, veggies, meat, fish, and clothes + accessories are sold.  All the food attracts stray baby animals.  I only bought some candies that I was nostalgic for, remembering I had eaten them over 15 years ago last time I came to Malaysia.  Sugus!

Packed up, and was taken to the train station by Uncle Mike and his wife.  The train is clean, fairly new.  We passed by many water buffalo on the way to the Kepong railway station in KL.  Immediately after arriving, Uncle Allen took us to eat some fat noodles, I forget the name of the dish.

Getting on the train to Kepong

Later on in the evening, we went to the Waterfront at Park City area.  First, the park (I think Desa Park).  We came here because uncle heard I liked dogs, and he says there is a "parade of dogs" here.  The first dog I saw?  A white Peke!!  I actually ended up seeing three Pekes here!  So, I got my Peke fix for the next few days.

Park at the Waterfront at Park City

The park is very large, and the first of its kind that I have seen so far on this trip.  It is clean, well maintained, and beautifully landscaped with bridges, a variety of flowers and trees.  A large man-made lake is in the middle, with thousands of fish.  The huge schools of fish follow your shadow around, because they are used to food being thrown in when there are shadows.



 At the retail store area, I bought a phone to use while in Thailand.  Only $30 USD, not too bad.

How funny...Washington apples at the store!

Awesome fish-ball-bear satay sticks

Later on, we ate at an outdoor food area.  It seems like all I've been doing this trip is eat.  We also stopped by the Basa Malam (night market), and just browsed for 10 minutes.  Ended up buying a lot of fruit.  So sweet and delicious.

Tomorrow we see the sights of KL!
