Nick and Natty back on the road...first stop Kuala Lumpur!

Lokhee and Anthony took us for galmegisal. Delicious! Beautiful Lokhee. x

So, we're back on the road, but before leaving South Korea we spent a week in Gwangju and Seoul with friends Lokhee and Anthony and then Josh and Mel.

Before we left Seoul, with plans to return in six months, we went for a much anticipated 9 course meal with Josh and Mel at OKitchen in Itaewon. It was AMAZING! Forgive the terrible pictures, but this was what was on offer!

This was the very first course, some delicious seafood. There was plenty more but I am no food photographer I'm afraid!

It was a pleasure staying with our friends for our last few days in Korea, we'll miss them!

On the 8th of March, we set off for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a cheap upgrade to premium class on Air Asia! Nick had a wonderful time in their flat beds, as you can see!

We stayed at Ribbon Stayyz guesthouse in Kuala Lumpur for two nights and it was comfortable enough, with the only downside being the shared bathrooms were very busy, seeing as half of them were being repainted and therefore were out of use. Good location though, with the busy Petaling Street just around the corner.

Our first breakfast was in a vegetarian restaurant in what we believed to be the Little India neighbourhood...it turned out this was not where we were, but we got to eat Indian anyway! Nick got his Puri Bhaji for breakfast after such a long time!

We had a great start to our travels in Kuala Lumpur. It is a much nicer place than I imagined, people don't seem to have a lot of nice things to say about it. The colonial buildings are overgrown and charming, and we found everyone to be helpful and friendly.

The highlight for both of us was probably the KL Bird Park. It is the biggest walk in aviary in the world, and there are plenty of species to see. Nick was especially pleased when this Hornbill regurgitated a piece of banana in an apparent attempt to befriend him and possibly share his lunch! If only the cage hadn't prevented an exchange!

Nick also enjoyed it when I I decided to feed some parakeets who were apparently very hungry! They have surprisingly sharp claws, and I should have know it wouldn't be the peaceful experience I had imagined!

That'll teach me to feed the birds! It isn't like Mary Poppins promised!

So, fun times were had all round, and next we are off to Kota Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo! Woopee! Natty xxx
