A royal sighting in Kuala Lumpur

We planned a rather brief stopover in Kuala Lumpur. We were expecting to see a few sights, do a little shopping and enjoy the comforts of a nice hotel (cashing in on Julia's hotel points, of course), but Billy got sick and we ended up staying close to the Hotel. One evening, we got a little unexpected sighting...the King of Malaysia.

We were enjoying a snack at the hotel when we noticed that there was a group of beautiful people dressed up in traditional Malaysian clothing milling about in the lobby and practicing some hand gestures. We thought this was a little odd, so we decided to check it out. Upon further investigation, we noticed a red carpet and a grand entrance set up. It turned out that the King of Malaysia was visiting our hotel. We only got a brief glimpse, but it was still pretty cool. It's not everyday that you get to see the king.

It's good to be the king, can you spot the king of Malaysia in this photo?
