• Kuala Lumpur

    I arrived at night, I was in touch with Winson prior to coming to Kuala Lumpur. I didn't want to keep Winson waiting so I rushed off to try and hail a cab. It was hard to find working wi-fi and I found myself going back and forth from the information counters to trying to find a hotspot. Even after, finding the place where the taxis were passing proved to be difficult. Winson ended up ordering the taxi for me and I was able to spot it and soon I was on my way to his place.

    As we entered a subdivision, I had an inkling that my stay this time around was going to be a bit higher end. Winson was there waiting for me and he kindly paid the cab driver. It was already pretty late but he asked if I was hungry and I was since I hadn`t had anything to eat yet ever since that burger in Bali. He took me to a night restaurant where I got to try some Malaysian street food. It was really good, I was full. He asked a lot of questions, questions I happily answered as I really enjoyed having that conversation with him. We talked the night away, he kindly paid for my meal as well and suggested we go home as I had to rest. I happily agreed.

    We went up a flight of stairs and his place was definitely more modern and higher end than any Couchsurfing place I`ve stayed at so far. I had a whole room to myself, air conditioned. I got to take a shower, and was pretty much ready to crash. Winson also gave me some medicine for my cough, a really kind dude. I fell asleep pretty easily.
