Bicycle Touring to Australia: Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur to Gemas
My latest bicycle touring to Australia update: cycling through Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur to Gemas. 106 miles. Despite it being Valentine’s Day yesterday and loads of loved-up couples, I had quite a good evening in Chinatown. I ended up talking to a couple from Manchester. They were there on holiday and had just travelled up from Singapore. They were saying how expensive Singapore was, which I’d already thought. A good evening with a lot of beer drunk!
There’s not much to say about today. Nothing has happened, or nothing that I can remember! It was, however, nice to ride along without having that annoying clicking pedal. I saw loads of monkeys, but they soon scurried away when they heard me coming.
I had Chinese for dinner again tonight. It’s the only place I can get a beer with my dinner. I tried to order the “special frog delight.” But they didn’t have any. They must have all hopped off! Sitting in the restaurant, they had a television on in the corner. And on it was a programme, which I remember from my childhood in the 70s. Monkey, a Japanese series they’d dubbed into English, very badly, I hastened to add! But that’s what made the series so funny. I think it was on BBC2, after 9 pm.
