Even though we have only been here 5 days, we have gotten to travel to some pretty cool places! The second day we were here we went to Putrajaya…(Where the prime minister of Malaysia lives for all you Zoolander fans!) This city is only about 20 minutes away from where we live. However, getting there could have been the longest 20 minutes of our lives. INTI organized this trip for all of the new students. However, there wasn’t room for all of us to ride on the coach buses they provided. So, we got put in a van with sixteen other students. Meghan’s knees were at her chin, and Shannon almost passed out from the heat. At one point Shan leaned over to say, “I always thought we would die together, I just didn’t think we would be this young.” Putrajaya is the place we talked about in the last blog were we went to a very nice mall, and then later that night we went out to eat with some friends and to see a movie here. We have included pictures from Putrajaya of the Prime minister’s office and a couple with our friends Daniel and Serene.
On Sunday we got invited to go to Kuala Lumpur, also known as KL early in the morning, but we were just too tired to go. We spent most of Sunday sleeping and unpacking. Of course when someone offered to take us to KL, on Monday we jumped on the idea. Omar and Faisal took us into the city on Monday. The Petronas towers were beautiful during the day, but absolutely breath taking after the sun went down. They took us to a mall that was located at the foot of the towers. The mall was six floors of amazingness. There were name brand stores everywhere! Right outside of the mall was a really cool walking path, with fountains and waterfalls. We took several pictures here too, so we will include a few of those. Take note that we did get in a little fight during the walk and for the first time it actually seemed that Meghan might actually take down Shannon. After the mall we drove around KL for awhile and just kind of got a feel for it. We hope to do a lot more exploring in KL, and from the sound of it people go there a lot from INTI. So, we don’t think it will be hard to find people to go there with frequently.

Tuesday night we went out to eat with a group of people to a Chinese restaurant. Thankfully they all spoke Chinese and helped us order. We tried using chop sticks for the first time. Pretty sure we gave everyone at the table a pretty good laugh.
Classes have started and they are going well. We have American history together, and when the teacher learned that we were from the US she made everyone clap for us. It was a little weird, but nice I guess that people are excited to have us here.
We already have a trip to Bali and Penang planned so we are pretty stoked about life! Hope all is well back in the US! We miss all of you!!!
