Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia



When we got back to Kuala Lumpur we checked back into our hostel and then explored more around Kuala Lumpur. We went to the Petronas Towers, which are the 3 tallest buildings in the world. They were the tallest buildings in the world until 2004 when the Taipei 101 building surpassed them. However, they still remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. Andi and I did some shopping in China Town and Central Market before we met back up with Aaron and Andrew for a delicious dinner of Laksa.







The next day we did some more exploring and shopping before we caught our late night flight back to Seoul. I experienced Dr. Fish for the first time. Letting thousands of tiny fish eat the dead skin off my feet. It was super weird at first and tickled so badly, but it was a cool experience! Until next time Southeast Asia!

Namsan Tower



Finally a bright and sunny day, but HOT HOT HOT! We took a trip to the Incheon China town for lunch and shopping! We walked around exploring Korea’s China town before having lunch and heading back to Bucheon.

Hanging out on the subway down to China Town. It's clearly not a heavily traveled subway line when you get towards the end of the line.

We then took a trip into Seoul to go to Namsan Tower, also known as N Seoul Tower.

Namsan is a 900 foot hill topped with the tower, which extents another 787 feet. We took a cable car up to the base of the tower and then had dinner with a view! We checked out the observatory at the top where you get a great view of the city of Seoul. Luckily we had a dry day and night making for a nice view.
