Today morning of relax, breakfast, walk on the beach.

At 11:30 we go to the Airport in Krabi, Tan and her husband drop us off. They are two suns, especially her, yesterday she tried to teach me to make flowers in carrots but when she saw my skill with the knife she preferred to do it herself.

Our flight leaves at 14.30 (it is quite cheap) and in an hour and a quarter we are in Kuala Lumpur.

We take a bus to Chinatown. We get off and take a taxi, it is quite bumpy and you can't find the address of the hostel, there is a lot of traffic, but in the end we find it. We pass by Little India, thousands of people and Indian pop music at full speed.

Our accommodation is The Explorers Guest House, is very good. The window is not airtight and you can hear noise but it is very clean and the common areas are great.

Kuala Lumpur is a mega city, chaotic but exciting, in it all the cultures are fused and it is worth to dedicate it some days.

We take a walk through Chinatown, in Jln Petaling, a street market where chaos and bustle merge.
