Haggling on principle
Both of us forgot to record our taxi driver in Melacca:
Ed fondly thought of him as a cross between me and his late Grandfather (grandpa Gilbert):
He forgot where he parked his taxi and this car was worse than Del boy's : not only didn't it have air conditioning it didn't have much of a dashboard. Incredibly he managed to change gear only twice for a 10 minute journey. His speed probably varied between 10 and 30 mph ( the speedo didn't work) and he paid no attention to any road signs (wrong way, stop, give way) didn't feel dangerous though.
KL: not much of their own culture seemingly but cheap and fairly clean.
Met Andrew and his friend Chris at the airport, we managed to persuade locals to hold signs saying their names with rude bits added which we thought funny.
We have seen the parks, the cheap market stalls and the twin towers by night (impressive).
We leave tomorrow to go the hopefully cooler Cameron highlands on a 4 hour bus journey for 2 pound 20.
