Wednesday Walk for Water and Food Part One Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

in #esteem5 years ago (edited)

My Wednesday Walk will end up getting me this yummy food and some bottled water since I can't drink the water here in my Kuala Lumpur Malaysia condo. I put this photo of food to entice you, but I will not get it until next week's post. Too many photos!

Looking off my balcony, you can almost see where I am going. Past the tree, there is a split in the two buildings where the swimming pools, restaurants, and shops are. But I do not usually walk that way and will not today.

Instead I cut through the closest building. One of my goals is the garage entrance you can see just past the tree. It's a 4 part low opening I will walk through.

Here's a blurry photo of my bottles and bag. I usually take three bottles, but on this day, one was still full! Oh happy day. My return trip will not be so heavy.

I'm out my condo door and looking at a tiny fraction of the many tenant shoes. Possibly hundreds more are in an alcove to the right.

My room is all the way back and to the right. Some of the other tenants have THREE more flights of stairs. I am forever grateful my room is on the same level as the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry.

Here is my way out.

Two of my three flights of stairs.

This has been going on for a few weeks. We used to have a river on the stairs here but - progress!

The last flight will be the first when I get back.

And I'm out!

One of my favorite signs EVER is right across the drive and I come to see it often.

The bump-to-come is some where near the turn-to-come and may throw your car into the air so be cautious.

This huge grate covers a hole at least 20 feet deep. You wonder what someone was thinking until we get a good storm.

Trying to show you my steep hill to walk down and later back up. I often rest here on the return trip.

This small grassy area has pretty flower bushes on it. If it was not windy and I was a good flower photographer, I would show you some.

Now trying to take photos of flowers for Denise @dswigle. Good shot, Sharon.

Sigh...

Looking back up the grade. The tower is where the Muslim Call to Prayer comes from 5 times a day and sometimes more. This tower is part of one of the largest mosques anywhere near here. Hence, the hotel.

(Don't ignore the bump.)

When the wind is to me the Call to Prayer is very loud. When the wind is away from me, I barely hear the chant. If I am sleeping, I never hear it.

I can chant along perfectly, but not in the right language. When I am disrupted by the sound I get up and stretch and say my own prayers. I'm pretty sure this is approved by all faiths.

My balcony is in the building on the extreme right.

This might not look steep to you, but it is to me.

w IMG_20190819_130059.jpg

I'm going into the car entrance when I get there.

w IMG_20190819_130052.jpg

Looking back down the "hill" it seems to be flat. I am tired nonetheless. The long gray thing in the middle of the frame will be an elevated highway one day. They build it at night and I never hear them unless something drops or explodes.

w IMG_20190819_130216.jpg

I should walk into the garage over there where the point is going the right way.

w IMG_20190819_130227.jpg

But I am going this way, like a Malaysian never would. If a car comes out, the driver will be perturbed. Malaysians are the best rule-followers in all of SE Asia.

w IMG_20190819_130235.jpg

Once I am up under the roof I see this guy walking who was framed in an excellent way right before I took this shot. He got off the elevator and is quite far off from me.

w IMG_20190819_130249.jpg

I wish this was better. Luckily he walked out of the scene so I could continue on my way.

I always wonder about this sign. There is no room to wait or park here in a car. I've decided it is to warn off delivery motorcycles which go in and out all day and night. They need a dedicated spot to park while going into the buildings to deliver, and do not have one.
w IMG_20190819_130317.jpg

I've made it to the convenience store and the restaurant is just beyond. Stay tuned until next week and I will show you what comes next!

What a wonderful boost! TY @trufflepig :)

Gosh! That's good exercise... especially the uphill trek!
Hmmm, food, yes... I would, water - I just boil my tap water at home...

I cannot use the kitchen here. How long do you boil your water for, @ackhoo? I am not sure about that plan for me. I am old and a westerner, so i'm not used to what you are.

Yes, I have thin, strong legs now, lol.

As long as the water comes to a boil... It's good! We just use a boiler jug, plug it in and it auto shuts once done. We use it hot for coffee, tea... Once it cools relatively i transfer the balance to another jug for drinking water, and i can boil more... Strong legs are great! :)

Thanks for using eSteem!

That is a lot of exercise! And ya, like what @ackhoo said, most of us boil water from the tap (normally will filter again before boiling the water)... And hot boiling water is for coffee, tea or milo... Then let the boiled water to cool, and that will be our drinking water.
