Malaysia

I'm in Malaysia right now and the best part is that Will and Jen are with me! We had decided that they weren't going to come here because I was going to be so busy with the conference that they wouldn't hardly see me anyway. But at the last minute I thought it would be fun to have them here so I called up Jen on Tuesday afternoon around 3pm and told her to leave to the airport at 4pm so she could catch the flight that day to come down to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They got here really late, around 3am by the time they got to the hotel. Some of the other people involved with the conference also brought their families so Jen had some company during the long days that I was working and she was able to make some new friends. I had to work long hours but it was so much fun to come back to the hotel and have my family here! It was great. They also got to come along for some of the activities. Will was the star attraction at the conference. My customers loved playing with him and Will now has new friends from 11 different countries!

The meetings ended yesterday so today we got to take Will and go play a little bit. We went to a shopping mall and had a Cinnibon, awesome, and then went to a little zoo. Tomorrow we will also go play around before heading back to Shanghai on a late night flight. Below are a few pictures from my phone.

These are the twin towers in downtown KL. They were the tallest building in the world from 98-04'. They are 451 meters tall and remain to be the world's tallest twin buildings. Part of the Sean Connery movie, Entrapment, was filmed here.


We had dinner at the top of this building in a revolving restaurant that overlooked the whole city of KL. It was right next to the twin towers so we had an amazing view of the tall buildings.


Here is Will prarie dogging it at the zoo.

Here Will is thinking to himself, "Polly want a cracker?"


Anyone remember the cartoon called Ed Grimley from the 80's? Here is Will's best impression as he sports a great hair do and trying to show his new 6th tooth coming in. It is pretty hot and humid here and his hair has a little bit of curl to it.




Will is so excited to look at some of the animals. We've been reading an animal book with sounds to him recently so it was fun for him to go to the zoo and see the animals in person.




This zoo was just a small zoo. I think tomorrow we might go to the national zoo which is much larger. Hopefully we will get some good pictures.
