PHOTOS
Due to the large size of the photos and the limitation of Blogger, I am inserting a link at the end of post to point to photos relevant to the post. Hope this doesn’t spoil the look of the thing. Better a link than no photos, I think

It’s HOT!!
The train system in KL is pretty special. 4 lines (one of which is a monorail) interlink the city. The thing that I remember most is the clever ticketing system. Tickets for the end station ar bought in the usual way and are delivered as plastic tokens. These are swiped to gain entrance and deposited at the end station. The tokens are then electronically cleaned down and reused. ~Similarly entrance tickets for many of the attractions are delivered as plastic cards and once again reused at the end.
Room keys at Hotels, many of them are used to go to your floor in the lift. They need to be swiped and your floor number entered. You can’t enter another floor. Where there are general facilities on other floors like resaurant or pool, those have open acces so don’t need a swipe
It’s HOT!!
Everyone you encounter is happy to make your acquaintance without wanting something. Often they will offer assistance if you’re appear to be lost.
Medication, when needed you get the dose required as deemed by the Doctor / Pharmacist and NOT whole boxes full of tablets. Much cheaper for the Patient and a valuable means of waste saving

Both Malaysia and Indonesia are not places for pedestrians. Getting around is difficult without va car or motorbike. There are very few walkways and those that exist are very poorly maintained.
Never underestimate the importance or regular intake of water.
