Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur

The first very noticeable thing about Malaysia is charming friendliness and hospitality of Malaysians. It really is exceptional. We spent 2 nights in a really fantastic hostel. I read good reviews about this hostel before coming there, where many people mentioned Sofie, an owner of the hostel, as a very smiley and helpful person. I was very true. The staff made everything to make you feel at home and give advice. They remember you by name and greet you in the morning and when you come back at the end of the day. I also found one very unusual thing about Malaysia - people take off their shoes before entering hostels.

The durian, probably the smelliest fruit in the world, is very popular in Malaysia and is loved by many people. Due to fruit's strong smell durians are sometimes not allowed be carried in public transport or hotels. We actually liked the taste very much!














Passing by one very nice looking bar we decided to have a drink and to smoke some shisha there. The place looked really fancy, situated in the street not far from our hostel with comfortable chairs, and all surrounded by palms. After ordering some drinks and shisha, we were sitting, relaxing and enjoying all the atmosphere when suddenly I saw a huge rats running under from one table to another. The rats were huge! We told about it to the waiter, who didn't look very surprised about it, he just shook some empty tables probably to scare the rats and went away :)














Famous Petronas towers are the highest twin towers in the world. By the time we arrived to visit the towers all the tickets were already sold out. Surely, it was disappointing...

Just a funny sign, if you are not Lithuanian do not bother
