Before leaving Kuala Lumpur I had the opportunity to visit Jalan Pasar (literally meaning Market Street) in the centre of the city, and experience the vivid sights, sounds and organized chaos of a busy capital city street market in full swing. Azuani, a friend of Norlia's family from the province of Penang, acted as guide and presenter to the camera. As a budding young model and media presenter here in Malaysia it was a chance for her to practise her talents as well as provide a fascinating insight for vlog viewers to step into her culture. Thanks Azuani for doing a superb job!
By the way, I hope no one gets offended by the guy with the oranges (I think this is typical of dry Chinese humour). This is actually an edited-down version - you should have seen what he wanted to do with the cucumbers...
I am now actually tracking north again along the west coast towards Pulau Pinang. I would like to thank some very kind people who have provided an exceptional journey through Malaysia so far: Norlia (some of you will remember her from when the expedition was in Cairns, Australia), her sister Norsiah (a.k.a. the walking Malaysian yellow pages!), Azwan and Azuani and Mazlan who have provided the expedition with round the clock logistical support for getting things taken care of in the KL area. Also Tunku Maziah who has been shown great support at the various functions here.
