Night Life in the big KL and a personal tour on our last day of the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM)

 Many street performers - 2 ringets gets you a photo




 Coach- just for you, Emma!

During the Lunar Chinese New Year, this si a big tourist time. Lots of crowds……living in China- very used to negotiating space. The difference is people actually queue up, say "pardon me" and make way for you. So "Canadian", I thought!
Nourani- Professer of IT for Social Sciences at the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) took us to a near by city out of Kuala Lumpur - to visit the government buildings and then to her university for a tour. This university is so big- it has three kindergartens on campus and has it's own helicopter landing pad for visiting dignitaries. Very Impressive.
Victoria has been invited and has formally applied for a teaching position here for the next two years. (Guess who has a place to stay next year if I want to visit Kuala Lumpur ???? When Vicky asked my advice about the job offer- I simply could not be totally "objective"- lol!)
This day was pre-planned and I really enjoyed the day! How else would I have experienced a guided tour of this university.




The architecture building was most impressive!



Our last dinner was in a pedestrian open-air mall with tons of bistros and shopping - all outdoor- beautiful! It cools down to be quite pleasant. We selected an "Italian-fusion" restaurant.

Fish is plentiful and inexpensive. I had it all - except Lobster.
