It was my friend again. She told me she missed the last bus home last night and decided to sleep in McDonald&#8217;s. She couldn&#8217;t get a taxi home because she let me borrow all her money the night before (I didn&#8217;t have any Malaysian money yet). At about 3AM some Canadians met her in McDonald&#8217;s and sneaked her into their hostel room where there was an empty bed. <\/p>\n<p>We decided to see a movie (Martian Child) at a big shopping mall called <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Berjaya_Times_Square\">Berjaya Times Square<\/a>. Then I wanted to find a better place to stay, so we went to the Chow Kit area and I checked into <a href=\"http:\/\/hostelcosmopolitan.blogspot.com\">Hostel Cosmopolitan<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>There was a lot of walking for the rest of the day. Around Chow Kit to have some food, then down to Little India, the Central Market, and Chinatown. I bought some new pants around here since my blue jeans are so worn out they are falling down my legs. <\/p>\n<p>Later I went to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dataran_Merdeka\">Merdeka Square<\/a> and was surprised to see a nice musical performance with full orchestra. They played Malaysian songs and some classical (including one from &#8220;Hooked on Classics&#8221;). There was barely anyone watching it because I believe it was a dress rehearsal. Later I walked to the Old Train Station and then it was kind of late so I got back to the hostel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was woken up in the morning by a knock on the door.
