Kuala Lumpur...Day Two

Day two of our trip started with a trip to the Kuala Lumpur bird park. The bird park is the largest walk in aviary in the world. You literally walked around the park with birds flying around and even on you. There is 300 different species that live within the park. The highlight of the park was feeding the lories. Several of the birds would land in you hand or hair for that matter if you had any food for them. It was a little unnerving at first, but believe it or not, not one of us left with any white wash in our eye!! We watched a bird show and Evan was a volunteer as you can see in the above picture. The boys who at first didn't want to visit the bird park, in the end thought it was better than Disneyland (That is a bit of a stretch I must say)

Next we headed to Times Square. Times Square is another massive mall. This mall had 11 floors and an amusement park in it. We spent a couple of hours on the rides, with the bumper cars being the boys favorite. We wandered around a few of the stores, but to be honest 11 floors of shopping is a little overwhelming. We had Subway for dinner. This was the first time we have found a Subway restaurant and the familiarity was great. In KL one of the trends is the fish spa pedicures. So this was one of the things we were aiming to try. So as you can see in the above pictures you literally sit with your feet in the fish tanks and the fish nibble away at the dead skin on your feet. At first the sensation was so strange I didn't think we'd be able to keep our feet in for the entire half an hour. It was so tickleish! But after you got over the thought of fish suctioned on to you it was actually not bad. We managed to keep our feet in for the entire time and they really were quite soft when we were done!
