Kuala Lumpur

Woods and I are waiting in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur Int. Airport) for our last connection to Phnom Penh. It's really exciting to be in another part of the world. There is just so much to take in. Malaysia has beautiful mountainous regions that rest behind the city of KL. There are several ornate mosques (that's mos-kees to a local we spoke with!). Buddhist monks walk in the streets and approach people. They hold bowls containing small bracelets to sell (think of friendship bracelets, Hope and Anna). The city is full of high-rises that are vibrantly colored. New high-rises are popping up all over, but there is plenty of lush green land as well and forests of palm trees. It was about 85 degrees when we arrived and this was in the early morning! We ate in Chinatown and did some exploring. We even got to watch the UEFA final match between Milan and Liverpool.

So there is a tiny bit of Malaysia. The people here know Kentucky (Woods' home state) because of KFC - what a legacy!

We arrive in Phnom Penh in about 6 hours. Hope you all are well.
