My First day in SE ASIA




Today it was my first day in South East Asia. I reached early morning in Kuala lumpur.  It is nice clean city with skyscrapers. After finishing my breakfast at the airport then I headed towards my hostel. Bus Fare is 8RM .Reached at KL central. From there picked up Rapid KL train to reach my hostel. Just one stop after I reached Pesar Sani.  After that I reached at Chinatown. This is largely populated by Chinese.  Things are cheaper in here. After quickly check in to my hostel, I bought the ticket for HOP IN & HOP OUT to see KL city.  This concept is quite similar to New Delhi.

My first destination is national museum. Here we can get to know the entire history of Malaysia. After getting out of from Museum, suddenly my eyes got stuck to see 2 rare species of Python. One  with yellow skin & another is black. The owner of these 2 snakes approached us with huge smile.
Owner: Good morning Sir!
SIDD: GM, How are you doing?
Owner: Doing fine, Do you wanna take a picture with this beauty wrapping around your body?
SIDD: I guess no…. hesitantly!
 (But my other German friends insisted me to do that all together. So we don’t have to take each shot individually with this beauty without paying extra. I reluctantly agreed with them. Although some warm fluid started to flow from my spine. No it is not adrenalin rush. Just sheer sense of anxiety & fear I guess. )
Here we go. After accumulating all my courage from my childhood I step forward to touch this beauty. My other friends also joined with me.  Whether is it my luck or bad luck on that day? The beautiful face of that lady comes to my side. What the heck?? After getting familiar with human hot blood her cold blood started to flow heavily. Her strong desire to kiss a bachelor man like me started weakens my knee.
Owner: Smile sir J Say Cheese.
SIDD: OK. Do it faster..please. I already knew how I will look before getting clicked. I can’t believe my all friends started to jump after the snap leaving me alone with this beauty. I know how I managed. Anyway my heart already gets back to proper position inside my body from my mouth. Relieved..No more pictures again for my rest of life with such kind of beauty.
From there moved to another place. Destination is bird’s Park & orchid garden. After seeing that finally reached at Dataran Merdeka. Almost 421 meters long telecom tower with revolving restaurant on top. No couldn’t reach there due to expensive ticket price. Backpackers like me or anybody else find it difficult to spend their money to dine there.  Then rush towards the bus stop to catch that bus. After waiting for 30 minutes I came to know that I missed the last bus. How cool it is. Last night I had sleepless night in plane, now I started to feel more tired after full day city tour.
There have only one way. Yes my trusted legs. Then I started to walk from there. All of a sudden I can’t believe my eyes. It is like seeing God in front of my naked eyes. I saw “that last bus”. I started to jump with full of excitement. There was a proverb “All's well is that ends well”. Almost I jumped quickly to get inside of “that last bus”. Finally I reached my hostel. Not a bad day to start with in SE ASIA.
