KL, Malaysia Day 16

Free Day. So happy! Christian and I went down to the Megamall to do some last minute. He couldn’t find a phone charger to buy, but he found a phone store that was kind enough to charge his phone for free, so we left it with them for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, we walked around looking at electronics and luggage. One of the electronics stores seemed to have my Canon Ixus75 for a good price, till they let us check it out on Amazon and we saw it wasn’t much less than buying it in England. We haven’t been able to speak to the credit card company since it happened, so I don’t want to buy another just to find out when I get back that they will not compensate for it.
After picking up our phone, we visited Land of Leather luggage store and Christian saw the bag of his dreams. Its a shiny white ABS hardback case with black lining and little geometric grooves in it. He suddenly had to have the cute Stormtrooper bag, more than anything. He was giddy. My 4 year old green case from Target had pretty much fallen apart the day before, so the timing was perfect. And the price; RM520, or less than 80GBP was pretty ideal as well for a case of that quality. It is 4 wheel drive so you can push it in any direction. Christian happily pushed it, with one finger only because he could, back to the hotel room.
We dropped it off and measured two of the grooves, as we thought it would be cool to have personalized stickers made up at that friend of Rics we visited in our first days, at the Saigei Wang mall in KL. We went down to concierge and caught a taxi into town for RM8.
The mall is enormous, but more for locals and so supposedly cheaper. We visited the sticker guys and Christian advised them precisely of what he wanted.
