How to get to Kuala Lumpur Chinatown & Central Market

It is a must to visit KL Chinatown if you want to taste some street food while you shop for fakes and Chinese gifts to take home. If you want quality crafts the Central Market is the place to go. You can access both using KL Monorail: get off at Maharajalela station and go down the stairs, on your right you will see two temples which are small but nice, just keep walking and you will see the Petaling Street sign, which is the entrance to Chinatown.
 After walking along the street just keep walking a little bit more to the left and you will soon see the sign Kasturi Walk at the entrance of Central Market. Take into account that there are some stalls outside the market but the nicer ones are inside.

The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey : opinion.

The Dark Lake
What I really liked about this book was the atmosphere. You feel you are in Australia in a hot summer just some days before Christmas.

I enjoyed the plot as well: a young teacher had been killed and there are many people hiding secrets in the town of Smithson.

At the beginning, I just couldn't put the book down but as I kept on reading the plot slowed down and I felt that some chapters describing the troubled mind of the main character and her relationships didn't contribute much to the novel.

To make matters worse I guessed who the killer was before finishing the novel. I know I may sound too demanding but I love being surprised.

Although my high expectations weren't completely fulfilled, all in all, I liked it and I thought it was entertaining. It's a good summer read but a better winter read if you are cold and you wish you could go to Australia to spend your Christmas there.
