Sight: The Petronas Towers glowing through the night sky in Kuala Lumpur; What a marvelous sight. The Islamic architecture really stood out as the towers each display two interlocking squares with circles on each intersection. All of the details are brilliantly lit up to display its beauty amongst the calm night sky.
Sound: While we missed the opportunity to hear the cry of the Gibbon in the wild while in Laos/Thailand, we did hear it in the Singapore Zoo! As Chris said, "it sounds like the squeal of a teenage girl." The monkeys would talk back and forth, and swing through the jungle as they belted out their unique song. The noise was mesmerizing; I could have listened to them all day.
Taste: Cheesy Nan bread dipped in sweetened condensed milk while eating at the mamak on the streets of Kelana Jaya, Malaysia with Sam. Slightly non-traditional, definitely like no other Asian cuisine we had tried, but uniquely Malay and so delicious.
Touch: The touch of newly-printed train tickets from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (after missing the original train). The part that stands out the most would be the relief we felt from holding those new tickets in our nervous hands. How nice it was to feel such hospitality and graciousness from the stationmaster.
Smell: As we explored Little India in KL with Sam, the smell of unique curries filled each breathe with new scents. We were able to taste several delicious curries at lunch. In addition, we enjoyed the familiar and wonderful smell of our lunch at Nando's. The smell of peri peri spices brought back many memories from our time in Australia.
