The first stop Malaysia

Began, the first country, the first day and we printed the first: I got off the plane and did not need 30 seconds to be sweating, highhumidity and high heat, about 5 minutes and start the rain, typical of the tropical climate here.
Two hours later I managed to find my hostel, located in Chinatown, which looks a lot like the old center of Sao Paulo (What surprised me, I had an image of a modern city), Chinatown has Chineseobviously, but they share the midst of through the space with the Indians, the billionaires countries have large percentage population in Malaysia, a multicultural country like ours.
On the second day I met the modern Kuala Lumpur, the PetronasTowers, giant malls, saw a city that is still growing a lot with workand cranes everywhere, but to be honest I liked the most from the dirty side and old, the yakissoba for less of a dollar and the smiling Indians.





Kuala Lumpur


they look around, India and China side by side


Tropical forest in the middle of town and gets stripped of vitiligo of the sun


The Malaysian-treme treme


 
There it


freaking hot


wanna dring?

This is the beginning


For personal and here begins the blog (even without an accent) andmy journey begins tomorrow. In these next 7 months I will go through experiences, meet completely different people and cultures,I hope to learn a little about each one.

Some people say I'm brave other that I am adventurous and go on a journey like this, but I guess I'm just curious to know the will of all places, observe the local people, experience the smells (yes, my nose is almost 100%), taste the food, I want to see the gorillas in Uganda to a Safari in Kenya, diving with white sharks in South Africa, admire the pyramids of Egypt, Jorge Ben singing in front of the Taj Mahal, camp on Everest be on the Wall of China, hope for the hex of Brazil, so much that these nearly 200 days on the road I'll go through experiences of a lifetime.

Bring on Malaysia, the first stop.
