It is WARM here like New York in July and August! Malaysia is always around 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the only difference is whether or not it's rainy season. We are currently in the rainy season, but I have been here a week and have not felt a single raindrop. It is humid, but the evenings cool off nicely when the sun sets (usually about 75 degrees Fahrenheit).
I saw some stray gods on the street of the city, lizards in the parks and monkeys in the suburbs.
I saw monkeys jumping on trees!
Kuala Lumpur has been a great place to see a combination of city and nature. Many buildings have rooftop gardens and vines hanging. It makes even a dense, business district feel like the jungle!
