The Kleinis visiting us in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (January 2026)

Back to Kuala Lumpur and the monkeys had followed us into the city. It was interesting: the locals fed them with bubble tea and chips and of course the monkeys quite liked it 🙃
Then we picked up Kleini Two (aka Ben) from the airport. He is a good friend of Racki and brought all kinds of gifts from Germany.
Together we went to the Batu Caves, the same attraction we went with Rackis brother before. But again it was nice. And this time the big golden statue was revealed again and was very impressive and beautiful.
We had all the different food Kuala Lumpur had to offer. Once we went to an Indian restaurant and Rackis meal was by far the spiciest we ever tried. Even with two extra rice it was barely eatable 🔥
Little India.
A scooter peeing while doing a handstand.
The famous PETRONAS Twin Towers as a nice reflection.
Back in our favorite bar this time the band played our favorite song Hooked On A Feeling 🥳
Racki made a beautiful and spacy necklace 💫
The accommodations we had with Ben, were nice. This one had a pretty big pool.
On the satellite photos this palm shaped resort looked interesting.
In reality I did not like it. Very artificial. Packed and weird.
And then we picked up Kleini One (aka Moni, Ben’s girlfriend) 🤗
Moni is vegan and we were quite positive that it would be possible to get something to eat for her in the restaurants. And it turned out that it was super easy and right the first restaurant had plenty of vegan meals 🥳
Next stop Taman Megara, the biggest national park of Malaysia 🚀

Awesome arts in Baling, Malaysia (January 2026)

We went to Baling for rock climbing, but there was a lot more to see. This was a projection on the main rock cliff.
There were beautiful graffiti arts.
And while taking a walk, we came across this little cafe. It was closed but still the owners allowed us to have a look around.
A lot of the art was about mountaineering and climbing.

New Years Eve in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (December, January 2026)

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 😁
