Kuala Lumpur

Second country up is Malaysia. We decided to check out one of the largest cities in Malaysia and also the hill country.

The AirBnB we stayed at was beautiful! It was an apartment within this HUGE apartment complex, The Faces Suites. There was an infinity pool on the 57th floor.

 
Those views were amazing! Luckily I am getting over my fear of heights and really enjoyed the restaurant/bar and pool.

The first night we were pretty wiped out from Singapore and traveling. We relaxed at the pool with a couple beers.
The second day we got up bright and early and visited the Batu Caves. This colorfully designed Hindu Temple is located in Bombak, Selangor, Malaysia. I would suggest if you ever go, to go early!
We went around 7am and had the whole place to ourselves!


We found the most delicious breakfast cafe- BubbleBee Cafe. The fruit smoothies were so fresh! They were much needed after walking around HOT Kuala Lumpur.

After a muggy day of exploring other temples amongst Kuala Lumpur we decided to take full advantage of our infinity pool. We had a couple beers and relaxed.

One thing I learned about Malaysia- there are not many toliets. Most bathrooms just have a hole in the ground and you need to use the bidet to 'clean' yourself. This is going to be a hard concept for me; especially since it smells like a zoo too!

Rome, Naples, Pompeii OH MY!

My course has been completed and I decided I needed to get out of Barcelona for a bit, and on top of my list was Rome.  I decided to take a 3 night, 4-day trip by myself to discover the ancient city. After traveling to London and with everything that I would have done differently, I now know how to pack and travel lightly.  I know how the airport functions and that I do not need to be there 2 hours before, like O’Hare.  So everything went smoothly on my trip to Rome.  No glitches!  That was feat and I was so happy about it. So I arrived in Rome on Monday, September 3 @ 10am.  I made it to my hostel and everything went smoothly.  I decided I wanted to go see the Colosseum first since it was nice out and I would be mainly outside when I was touring it.  It was OUTSTANDING.  I cannot believe that I was walking around the inside of the Colosseum.  Only about 30% of the building remains, meaning that this was a HUGE buildi...

Lord grant me patience.

How long can you wait until you can’t wait any longer?   I am at that breaking point.   I have the feeling of dread pulling me one way in my current lifestyle and the feeling of excitement and anticipation pulling me the other way.   As July comes near nervousness is thrown in the mixture.   Soon even I will not be able to recognize my own life, things are under major reconstruction.

The REAL beginning of my year in Barcelona

Saying good-bye to Anne in London was very difficult, we had had such an amazing weekend and I did not want to go back to Barcelona.  The flight went smoothly, I knew not to make the same mistake with trying to get on Ryanair with two bags; I just checked it right away.  I then took the Aerobus back to the city center and grabbed a cab to the new apartment.  The apartment was not exactly what I was imagining or predicted; it was quite a distance away from the city and it was a host situation. Maria was the host, meaning we lived with her and not that she was just the landlord.  At first I thought it was not at all the situation I wanted and that I wanted my own apartment to have freedom to do whatever.  Well I was proven wrong when I was in Barcelona for four nights by myself; Maria turned out to be a great friend and kept me sane.  It was a blessing to have someone around that could help me get around the city and to talk to.  Maria does not kno...
