Port Kelang, Malaysia

In Malaysia, we chose not to go on a two hour bus ride from Port Kelang to Kuala Lumpur, a large city with the famous two towers connected with the skybridge. Instead, we rode 20 minutes on the shuttle bus to Klang and a brand new, ultramodern, 5-story shopping center. It was hot and humid outside, and air conditioned and pleasant inside. After checking at 2 opticians, we found on the third floor, one who could repair Jerry’s broken sunglasses while we waited. He was so happy to have new ear pieces and adjustment to the nose piece.

The next stop was a factory outlet store, FOS, where Jerry found a lightweight red and black Tiger Golf shirt. The shirt was the right size – get it? So he bought two identical shirts. Next we had to buy 4 AAA batteries to operate the free FM radios and flashlight we were given in Singapore. The radio was free, but the batteries were $1 each. With very little Malaysian money left, we returned to the ship for lunch. Before we reached the ship though, with our remaining money, Jerry negotiated the purchase of a keychain with a bottle opener and a keychain with nail clippers. What a day for $20 US.
