Chinatown….Again

 Ok. So it appears I may be obsessed with Chinatown. It just feels so familiar. It’s bustling and fun with so much to explore. Yesterday I decided to ditch the Grab ride and make my way there via the new MRT station a stones throw from our place. As it has just opened it is free until the end of the month. A 300m walk, one train to Tun Razak Exchane, change and three stops and there I was. Probably 15-20 minutes in total. Traffic can be mad here especially when it rains so it is great to have a plan B. 

Super clean and organised. Just pay for a token from the machines (or free for now). You tap the token on the way in then insert the token on the way out. The maps are pretty easy to read but if you get confused the station attendants are all happy to help and understand English. 

Hungry when I got there (what’s new!) I grabbed a bite from the local food hall in the market. A wonton soup and a lime and sour plumb juice for a total of $5AUD. 

I spent a bit of time sussing out the prices on an amazing array of knock off goods but was not buying today. Just getting a feel of how far I could barter down. I did buy a bag the other day where the guy started at 380RM and I purchased for 80RM. You can take the girl out of Vietnam!!!

I decided to walk home which left me a sweaty mess but a total of around 8KMs for the day. Bonus was I found my “I’ll just have one drink” glass on the way home!
