In the morning we slept in as long as possible before breakfast finished, making sure to sneak some bread rolls for lunch.
Back over to Chinatown to try our hand at bargaining for sunnies, trinkets and shirts. We did quite well by Aus standards, but were perhaps still too soft really.
Buying supplies from a 7-11 (after a trip to the bank - they don't take Visa doncha know) we randomly bumped into the same girls again and bade them farewell once more before heading back to the hotel to change, and then over to the shmick new conert hall in the base of the Petronas Towers to see the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra play a whole lot of Mozart. It was quite lovely, despite us struggling to stay awake at times.
The towers have a shopping centre in it, and I suffered trying a gawdawful coffee at the expense of free Internet access (Starbucks' redeeming feature) on my PDA. I finally found an iPod accessory we were after for our European car trek, and then we headed off to the airport.

Our taxi driver was a really friendly guy, full of natural life extenders and general health advice (Ginger is the secre the Japanese have been keeping all these years as to why they're always so alert!). Great timing, we checked in and ate some really average airport-priced food before settling down a bar to watch the Netherlands v Serbia & Montenegro game, which finished only 15mins after our gate arrival time! At least we didn't have to wait anywhere.
