From Merapoh we took a train and a long distance bus back to Kuala Lumpur to celebrate New Years Eve. We found some interesting “German” advertisement 😁

And the remnants of Christmas in Asian style🎄

And a nice Mediterranean restaurant with delicious food, live music …

… and a good cocktail deal 🥳

On the roof terrace of one of the many malls, we enjoyed a funny Asian concert 🎶

The Maybank tower displayed a sand clock…

… and at midnight there were some but not too crazy fireworks 🎇

We met a lot of nice people 🤗

Got a bit confused while searching for another party spot 🙃

But eventually found the main party area which reminded me quite a bit of the Reeperbahn in Hamburg but in a different style 💃🕺

This was our next aquarium without any outside windows for the new years eve time 😁

We went back to Kuala Lumpur and spent some hours in the KLCC Aquarium 🐠

I found the sharks, …

… turtles, …

… and rays the most impressive 🤩

The interiors of the aquariums appeared sometimes a bit sterile 🛀🏽

But it was nice …

to see all these different animals 🙂

Especially the crazy looking ones like these ones sticking in the ground, …

… or this funny fellow 😄

😳

But always asking myself how it is for these animals being locked down in these small pools 🤔

These were the big insects making a lot of the loud sounds in the jungle 🔊

😄

And there were some rare dinosaurs as well 🤣

We had a last, very delicious dinner together in an Indian restaurant, …

… some last impressions of the skyscrapers, the jungle, …

… and the contrasts between old and new, …

… and then Tom had to leave and fly back to Germany. We had a great time together with a lot of discoveries and experiences 🤗
