Didn't get a chance to go to all our usual haunts in Chinatown, 'J' was alittle over the walking, just did the necessary things (stock purchases). 'J' loves Spongebob and spotted a wholesale shop with Spongebob in the window, all of a sudden 'chinatown is cool' and mum can you buy stuff from there so I can buy Spongebob stuff, so in we go...I buy some stock and 'J' walks out with a huge Spongebob cushion, backpack, drink bottle, wallet, stickers etc etc etc, so I now have a bit more 'credit' to keep her walking. I find the shopping here, if your a size 14 plus, a little more user friendly and soon purchased a beautiful satin top, a few TShirts and of course a girl must have ANOTHER pair of shoes!!!.
Time for afternoon showers so we head back to the monorail station (MAHARAJALELA) and head back to IMBI to go to The Pavillion for lunch.
There is a HUGE food court on Level One, there is something for everyone, we head for the Sushi Resturant we spotted the other day, with the longest train I have ever seen that weaves in and out all the booths, 10 plates and 2 drinks later (A$13), we depart.....but we spot a display case with what looks like ice cream cones, on closer inspection they are actually PIZZA!!!! Yep, the 'cone' is the pizza base and filled with your toppings. YUMMO!!!! (RM9.90).If I could somehow win lotto and bring this to Australia........
Anyway we attempt again to leave, and oh look there's a Bread Talk, lets get something for later...eventually we roll out of there.
Kenko Fish Spa is also at The Pavillion - other 'fish spa's' have popped up in various shopping centers, but do your self a favour and go here. Its spotlessly clean, very relaxing surounding and worth the RM38.
There are different packages available, we just did the 'fish' bit for 30mins.
You are given a locker to put your shopping in :-), then you go to the wash area to scrub your feet.
Then upto the wooden platform which is surrounded with a glass tank, this is the best place to start, the fish are about 2-3" and the minute your feet hit the water, they are ready to do their job!!!
Initially the feeling is to get your feet out, this passes in mere seconds, the sensation is like pins and needles but without the awkward feeling you get. The fish don't have any teeth - remember that. After a while we decide to try out the inner tank that has bigger fish in it, these are about 4-5" long and its more like a 'hit, hit, hit' feeling - apparently men prefer this. It's still good, because you know they are removing all the dead skin, but we prefered the feeling of the smaller fish.
The 30mins goes quiet slowly, your number you are given is displayed on the screen when your time is up, you re-wash your feet and walk out with new feet, that don't feel like they have been shopping for the last 8 days!!!
I have plenty of information here, if anyone is interested...if I get the time I will put it on my website to make it easier.
There is so much more I can report from KL, but don't want to push the boundries any further than I already have.
SO will sum it up here, with saying flight left on time, airport extentions are finished, and there is more places to eat and shop at before departure, we were in the new? Air Asia planes, and i am positive the seats are narrower???, nor do they recline, but do have the individual screen in each seat (pay on the screen via credit card for RM28, pay cash RM30), plane wasnt full, most people had at least one spare seat beside them.
Arrived pretty much on time, sailed through proceedures in record time.
Happy to answer any questions, so fire away!!!
