If you're in to shopping in air-conditioned malls, KL is the place to be, since it has a plethora of modern six-level shopping centers, and the prices are cheaper than back home. I hate shopping, but I need some stuff, and KL is as good a place as any to buy it. First off I needed a ton of toiletries. Secondly I needed guide books, and after scouring KL's meager supply of book stores I picked up Lonely Planet's Trekking in Nepal and the Rough Guide to Cambodia. After browsing through it I liked the Rough guide, and may switch to those from Lonely Planets, which are dry and boring and have terrible maps. Also not everyone uses Rough Guides, so I may see some different places. I also finally picked up a SE Asia phrasebook, and a Traveler's History of SE Asia. So I have a ton of books now. Finishing the Lord of the Rings is now critical, since that will free up lots of space.
