Our guesthouse for the night is a pleasant little place. From the outside, it looks very uninviting, but get inside and there is a nice little common area, a kitchen for basic breakfasts, and nice clean rooms. We have two rooms, one with a bathroom, and the other with its own bathroom down the hallway. With our planning ahead, we arrived in KL a day earlier than we had booked our apartment so needed a layover place. After breakfast, we head over to the central market. It is nothing like the central markets of places like Phnom Penh. This is fairly new, despite the open since 1888 sign. After some wandering, and Levi getting a batman belt, we end up at a tourist information. They are nice, but do not know much. Walking the streets of KL is unlike other places in Asia, and we deem it to be more dangerous. They drive wrecklessly and there seem to be no rules for crossing the road. Pedestrians are truly on their own. We witness a two motocycle collision, but both riders seem to escape injury. Our crossing streets usually end in sprints and counting heads on the other side. We then head back to our guesthouse and grab out gear to go to our apartment. This "Faces" apartment has been the cherry on the cake for the kids travelling in Asia. Advertised with a pool on the 52nd floor overlooking the twin towers, the kids have been geared up for this. After getting off at the wrong bus stop, we end up walking what we feel is the wrong direction. Then Nate picks out a face on the tall building in front of us and we are somehow here. Our view out the floor to ceiling windows on 30th floor is great, but the infinity pool on the 52nd floor is even better. Luke and Cindy are very worried about falling over the side and down 52 floors. I get into a discussion with Luke about when the last time he accidentally fell out of a pool. I also point out that if he did fall, it is only 42 floors because the hotel juts out at floor 10. He is not impressed with this part of the discussion. I reassure him that the only way of going over the edge is on purpose. We then walk to the mall down the street, and find out that there is a cinema playing the new Spider-Man movie. The kids feel this is the best Spider-Man movie yet, and are thrilled. Our first movie theatre experience of the trip. We get back for a late evening dinner.
