    Day 178: Still shopping in KL

    December 11, 2016 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Another day of shopping, as we only got about half of the presents we needed to get yesterday. This time we took a slightly different tack, and headed to Chinatown, Petaling Street and Central Market. Much more of a tourist market than a proper shopping mall, so the goods are slightly less authentic but also much more affordable!

    Again, no spoilers for what we bought.

    We were all finished by mid-afternoon so headed back to our room. In the evening we went out to Jalan Alor, the long street food street, where we met up with a travel blogger we knew from TBEx. This was the same person we'd met in Coron as well - double coincidence! She's Polish and travelling around extra slow - she writes a lot more than we do, and tends to work her way around (front desk at hostel/guesthouse etc).

    Headed for the hotel around 9pm, though I realised Manchester United were playing at 10pm so headed for a nearby pub. I didn't have much cash so I had one schooner and made it last the entire game. Very tense, but we pulled off a 1-0 win over Spurs. Back to the hotel just after midnight for our last full day in SEA!
