Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

April 2001

Visited Kuala Lumpur for 2 weeks with my sisters, Janet, Lily and her family and Veronica. Stayed at the same timeshare resort as last year, Duta Vista.

The holiday started off horribly when Darren and Justin left one of their backpacks in the back of the taxi that took us to the resort. Easter showbags, books and two new swatch watches which their mum had bought for them for their Confirmation went with the bag. With so many of us, we didn't notice the bag was missing until we had checked in. By that time the taxi had driven off. With only the name of the driver to go on..we didn't see that bag again.

Anyway, after that the boys just wanted to go home. But with shopping, swimming, and eating, they soon put the incident behind them. We visited the Mi Valley Mega Mall, which is the biggest shopping centre in KL. Spent a few days walking the various shops and shopping centres. Travel to and from the resort was in taxis. Managed to buy myself a whole new summer wardrobe. Visited the Bangsar night markets with lots of food stalls and other nic nacs for sale. Otherwise just relaxed, swimming and lazing by the resort pool.
