 Hotel room in KL - Malaysian Beatles
Nathan's Beauty Shop





 These R2R machines were in the Independence museum, not really part of anything, just sitting there.

 Tour groups: nobody actually looks at anything, they just shout a lot, drop rubbish everywhere and pose in front of various objects to take photos. Selfie sticks are essential travel items.

 16thC tombstone
 We waited to ride on the Hello Kitty trishaw

 Malaysia's Got Talent! They could sing.
 Saravanaa Bhavan - the world's number 1 Indian Veg restaurant chain.......yum!
 These kinds of shows seem to be running at every shopping mall, dunno if it is always like this or some special event.

 Botanical gardens KL
 Stonehenge!!!
