Hello Memphis Peeps!

Hello people in Memphis! My name is Aidan, and I originally come from Scotland, but now, I am living Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It's really interesting. There is a huge mix of nationalities and places. There are the KL Petronas Twin Towers in the city centre, which look fascinating at night, when all the lights on the sides of the towers are turned on. There is also the KL Tower, right next to the Twin Towers. The KL Tower is basically just a needle-if a needle was 800 metres high!
Outside of the city, there are little Orang Asli (Native Malay) settlements. These are amazing to visit, and if you ever do come over here, I would recommend visiting them! They live very basically, but all have shoes, old phones, and small TVs. Some of them also use blowpipes, others just farm.
I also enjoy cycling. Once you get out of the city centre, there are some beautiful bike trails! There are loads of hills, but there are also flatish trails, so everyone gets their choice! At most trails, there are food stalls, selling dough nuts, curry puffs, and chestnuts. Mmm.....
When it comes to food, there is plenty of choice! Since many people of different live here, and aren't all Malay, their food of choice is usually featured in some place or another.
Types of Food-
Western
Malay
Chinese
Indian
Middle Eastern
Mediterranean
Thai
Turkish
Japanese
Korean

There is also a local fruit, called durian, which tastes fine, but smells terrible, and is therefore banned in most public places.
Anyway, I have to go and do some other school stuff in class, so I'll continue this later.
Aidan.
