Back to the Big City

October 17 (Monday)

I caught the 8:00 am bus back into Kuala Lumpur. I thought that maybe I can spend the afternoon at the museum, and maybe even a visit to the planetarium. So, I check back in to the Red Palm and turn in my laundry. But, lo-and-behold, almost everything is closed on Mondays. Shoot.

With nothing better to do, I go to the Petronas Towers to see what's inside. There's a huge shopping center there, and better still, a movie theater. After some pizza, I catch the new Jackie Chan movie, "The Myth." It's really low-quality, and the story doesn't make much sense, but like all Jackie Chan films, it's quite amusing. It's about Jackie having dreams of being a Qing general in love with the emperor's Korean concubine. Strange stuff.

The highlights of the day though are a $1 root beer float that was divine, and some freshly wrapped dumplings RM 7 (less than $2).
