Kuala Lumpur to Laos

 We are in Laos.

 We woke up in Kuala Lumpur in this box of a room.  Seriously jail cell small.

 After breakfast, the four of us decided to drive into Kuala Lumpur for an hour or so before our flight to Laos.

 We stopped by the Chinatown area of KL, that is full of stalls selling suspiciously cheap merchandise

 The Entrance to Chinatown

 Meagan bought half a kilo of rambatans, which are these furry little delights.  You peel off the outer layer and eat the fruit in the middle.

 Here, Ryan peels open a rambatan

 Some random street food

Some birds

 We found this indoor meat market adjacent to Chinatown, and the smells were robust.

 These chickens were on a table that housed a bunch of live chickens, and then we ate chickens upstairs

 BBQ Pork Bun

 We took the shuttle to the airport and boarded our flight to Laos.

On the way we sampled oddities.

Ho Chi Minh II

I am extremely tired tonight, so I am just going to post some pictures and get to bed.  We are in Malaysia right now and just met up with my brother Ryan and Meagan.  We head to Laos tomorrow afternoon.  See you guys later.

 Delicious drink with a fun straw 

 Football shaped omlette 

 The White Balance on my camera was set for something else, but I like the look of this 

 In the early morning, we hired a driver to take us around Ho CHi Minh

 Pretty much like this constantly outside the window 

The rest of the pictures are inside Reunification palace, which is kept exactly as it was in 1966.  It is part time machine, part tribute to Vietnam's upset victory over America.
