Car Parks... so confusing!

So I was at an Expat mingle (put on by a mag. in town)... I had a couple glasses of wine and a beer. So afterwards I go to try to find my car... (car parks... aka parking garages, are so confusing here!) and I went down with the people I knew and wound up not knowing where I was. So I wandered around for 10 minutes, going from B1 to B2 and back asking all the guards on the way... never able to find my car. 37? Section 37? Sidenote, I really should have remembered the floor I was on...
So, thank god, some guard in a big golf cart pulled up and gestured me to climb in! At this point I was happy to oblige because nothing was looking familiar. He drove me around for 10 mins -- note: as I am directing him the wrong way to get to the car saying sorry every other sentence. Finally I give a piece of information that proves helpful (it's by the grocery store escalator!) and we are able to find my car... at which point I cheer and clap my hands excitedly.
The guard laughs and I make him take 5RM for his troubles driving a confused girl around the car park. Granted, I think that is what they are paid for... though it seemed like he was a knight in shining armor. The guys watching the CCV tape (aka guards at the front entrance) must have figured out that I wasn't going to find my car anytime soon! So they sent my golf cart man! haha Good times. I love helpful people! ;-)

Something I Didn't Know About Malaysia...

So there are many things that I didn't know about Malaysia before coming here... so I thought I would impart some info on my family and friends! I might just make this weekly thing!

I was driving around (really lost, actually) in downtown KL, and passed about 6 of these...
24 hour KFCs! The Malaysians love their fried chicken! ;-)
