O.K. This is the deal, and I'll be completely honest. Until recently we got hooked to the expat lifestyle of wanting to escape your new home (K.L. for us) , especially during the weekends. We noticed this unique behavior with our expat friends while we lived in Houston. Every weekend, they just HAD to take a break from "city" life. So did we as soon as we moved to K.L. We took a flight to Borneo, a quick train ride to old colonial Melaka, and then across the border to beautiful Thailand. But then you have to ask yourself.. what about your own home? What about your own town? So, this weekend we decided we would take a break and explore more of K.L. We have two guide books, and in both of them they recommend a reserve called the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia. On saturday we took the KTM commuter train from K.L central to Kepong and arrived just in time to walk across the 200m forest walkway, suspended 30 m above the forest floor. This gave us beautiful views of the forest as well as the KL towers rising behind. After our exciting forest walkway, we found a waterfall. Kim sat on a comfortable rock, contemplating life while she ate her pistachios, and David explored the surrounding area by jumping from one rock to the other, which eventually lead us to a cafe for lunch. It's interesting how close nature is to your home when you really look for it. A good weekend it was.. What's next?
