25 June Malaqa

 At least they used RCDs, gives you a 50% chance of survival, depending whether you touch the wire going in or the wire going out. Open connections like this are everywhere on the streets, people seem to be smart enough to leave them alone.

Sadly the sign telling us this is a great photo spot was blocking the view of the supposedly great photo spot. A bit further along there was a guy in the water collecting shellfish. Pretty certain this river is mainly raw sewage.

 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.
