My journey in Southeast Asia continues. My next stop is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I only know the capital Kuala Lumpur, one of the most developed cities in the region, from photographs.
Today, with my Kuala Lumpur travel notes, we will explore Malaysia together! You can find my impressions of Malaysia along with guiding information.
A Nice Photo I Taken on the Streets of Kuala Lumpur
Journey from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur
May 01, 2017 Monday
strong>. After Singapore City and Batam Island, which I discovered in the previous days, it’s time to head to Malaysia today.. I’m going to Changi Airport for my flight that will take me from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. My flight to Kuala Lumpur will depart at 12.50.. It’s nice, sunny weather outside. After the passport procedures, we take off with a cute jet of JetStar Airlines! The distance I will travel today is only 350 kilometers. I know it’s a little short for a plane ride. I lost my excitement on this route and bought this ticket, it doesn’t cost much.. But for Singapore – Kuala Lumpur the most sensible option is of course train. There are frequent train services between these two cities.. You can get this distance in a much more adventurous way in 6-7 hours.. I’m sure there are many beautiful scenery to see on this route. There are advantages to going by plane, like me.. In just 1 hour, I will reach Kuala Lumpur without getting tired and without wasting time, Air Asia and JetStar’s flights are at very funny prices! Boarding My Flight to Kuala Lumpur / Singapore Changi Airport How to get from Turkey to Malaysia?. Turkish Airlines has direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Istanbul.. Malaysia Airlines also operated flights before, but you know what happened to them… Coming to Kuala Lumpur by direct flight I don’t think it would be more tiring than coming from Singapore by train. But, as I always say, connecting flights are both more adventurous and more convenient. Kuala Lumpur Overview Now I have to talk about this unknown Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country whose territory consists of two main parts, east and west.. Its borders extend to Thailand in the north and the Indonesian Islands in the south.. I am talking about a wide geography located between the Indian Ocean on the west and the South China Sea on the east. The Malays in these lands, which have been under occupation throughout history, have lasted 2 years.. After the Japanese Occupation in World War II, they remained in joint sovereignty with the United Kingdom until 1957.. The Malaysian State, which was established after this date, is still a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.. As a result of this, there is a people in the country who can speak English very well. How to Get to Kuala Lumpur ?
General Information About Malaysia
Malaysia has a population of 26 million, mostly Malay Muslims.. Their official language is Malay and their currency is Ringgit.. The country is one of the strong economies of its region.. The cornerstones of the economy in Malaysia are mining, tourism and agriculture.. Almost the majority of the country is covered with lush tropical forests.
Kuala Lumpur Overview
Where is Kuala Lumpur?
The capital city of Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s and Southeast Asia’s most one of the important socio-cultural, commercial and tourism points. It is located in the west of the country, about 300 kilometers north of the Equator. The total metropolitan population is over 7 million. KL has a very cosmopolitan structure, with Muslims making up half of the population, Buddhists making up a quarter, and people from other religions completing the rest.
Kuala Lumpur, 21. It exhibits a development that keeps up with the world of the 20th century.. There is a rising trend in the quality of life and tourism in the city where one of the tallest buildings in the world is located.
My Plane That Brought Me / Kuala Lumpur Airport
Is There a Visa to Malaysia?
We do not require a visa to go to this city. no need either! Malaysia T.R.. A country that does not require a visa from their passport, you do not do any paperwork for your travels not exceeding 90 days.
Back to my trip now. After a short flight, I can see the tropical forests of Malaysia from the plane.. As we descend, like these trees will catch us if we fall!
We are landing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 14:00 local time. The airport is quite big, I walk a long way to passport control and after a short while I enter Malaysia.
KLIA Express Signs / Kuala Lumpur International Airport
Kuala Lumpur Airport Transportation
Kuala Lumpur The airport, or KLIA for short, is located 45 kilometers south of the city.. KLIA Express is the easiest and fastest way to reach Kuala Lumpur. You can reach KL Sentral Station in only half an hour with this train, which you can take from both terminals of the airport.
KLIA Express is 35 ringit one way.. Turkish Lira and Ringit have an almost equal exchange rate at the beginning of 2018, so you have to pay approximately 30 liras.. Although buses are a more suitable alternative, I think it is most logical to choose KLIA Express for transportation to KLIA.
We are moving towards the city! The train is going very fast, Malaysia is not much different from Singapore in the first minutes.. You can watch a pleasant tropical forest view from the train along the way, I must not have been in such a green country before.
Going to the City Center with KLIA Express
First Impressions
To KL Sentral without realizing how the minutes passed I arrive. The point where almost all the rail systems in the city meet. This station is on the southwest side of the city.. Actually, Chinatown, where my hostel is located, and the city center are within walking distance, but things are not that easy in Kuala Lumpur!
This part of the city is so complicated that it cannot be explained! It is crowded as soon as you land in KL Sentral. an army of people welcomes me. However, the first sight I saw in the sky was the wide highway roads and the airrail.. The biggest obstacle to walking in KL is these highways and rivers that tear the city into pieces.
KL Central and Crowded Atmosphere
So how do I get to my hostel? From KL Sentral I take a ferry called Rapid KL. After getting off at Pasar Seni, which is only one stop away, my Kuala Lumpur adventure truly begins.
In a few minutes I realize that this place is very different from Singapore. While a scene I saw reminds us of a Muslim Country, on the other hand, it’s like I’m in Thailand, don’t ask about the skyscrapers rising in the distance!
The houses are a bit run down and old, the cars and the general impression are too, but they’re not too bad, Besides, this is not the most modern point of the city.. Places are wet, it has just rained, no wonder at this time.
Complex View of the City from the KL Sentral Airrail
Where to Stay in Kuala Lumpur?
The Travel Hub Guesthouse I arrive at. This is a small hostel-hotel style business. What attracted me was its proximity to the city center and KL Sentral. This was important to my flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia, two days later, very early in the morning.. You can stay in hostels and hotels in these regions.
Life in Malaysia seems much cheaper than Singapore.. I will pay 70 ringit total for two nights. Not a bad place. When checking into the hostel, I encounter a traveler who has the same bag as me.. He almost took my bag and took it to America! Luckily, I noticed and took my precaution.. I always have my name and contact information in a small part of my bag anyway.. How small is the world…
While Walking Towards My Hostel
Places To Visit In Kuala Lumpur
I’m starting to wander around Kuala Lumpur without wasting time. I’m in Chinatown first due to the location of my hostel..
This place looks like ordinary Chinatowns of ordinary Asia. More lively than in Singapore of course! There are Bangkok-style street-food shops on the streets.. His slightly shabby style appealed to me.
Chinatown Kuala Lumpur
Petaling Street – Chinatown
I suddenly find myself on Petaling Street. This is one of the must-see spots in KL. This lively street of Chinatown is home to a huge market stretching its length.. The crowd and atmosphere reminded me of the Egyptian Bazaar.
You can find products from Chinese Culture and various Malaysian items on Petaling Street.. From eating and drinking to souvenirs, this place is full of small shops!
Petaling Street Entrance
I keep walking. As I get closer to the city center, the face around me changes.. The more well-kept and tall buildings in this section are complemented by wide streets and modern people. You can see small squares and old but restored buildings with high architectural quality.
Meanwhile, the sun showed itself well. The view of the sun after the rain is another beautiful. I wish it didn’t get that hot!
Chinatown District / Malaysia
Kasturi Walk
Just on my left, I come across a pleasant street again, this is Kasturi Walk.
Kasturi Street, which I just mentioned Could be called the Malaysian version of Petaling. Kasturi is a more modern street decorated with tropical colors. As you walk here, thinking that you are in Europe for a moment, and then remembering that you are in Kuala Lumpur with the Tropical Flavors you see.
Continuing to explore.. I’m on one of the bridges over the river that divides Kuala Lumpur. I have an interesting but beautiful view with Masjid Jamek right in front of me and the buildings behind it.. The construction of this bridge is still in progress, so there are details that spoil the view.
Kasturi Caddesi
Malaysia National Textile Museum
I turn my back and there is a wonderful building in front of me! This is the Malaysian National Textile Museum Building.
This museum is not the kind I come across often. It houses textile products reflecting the Malays culture.. From the local clothes worn by this society for centuries to the sewing-embroidery embroidered works.
Malaysian National Textile Museum
It is free to visit the Textile Museum. Is it possible to come before you and not enter?
I think it is a must-see museum for those visiting KL, so you can gain a different perspective on Malay Culture, which is a blend of many cultures.
A Few of the Artifacts Exhibited in the Textile Museum
Merdeka Square
Now I am reaching a huge square. This is one of the highlights of Kuala Lumpur; Merdeka Square.
Merdeka Square can be considered a touchstone for Malaysian history.. The country declared its independence at this very point and the Malaysian National Flag hoisted is one of the highest of its kind in the world!
The Fountain at the Entrance of Merdeka Square and Abdul Samad Building on the Right
Abdul Samad Building
Merdeka Square is full of architectural beauties all around, and there is a sweet little fountain in the middle.. It is in perfect harmony with the Sultan Abdul Samad Building just behind it.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building is the main member of this square, I think.. This building, which bears traces of North African and more Moroccan architectures, was built in 1897.. While the building was home to ministries in the early days, it now houses the Malaysian National Court.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Merdeka Square Lawns
Royal Selangor Club
There is a huge building opposite the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. there is a lawn. It’s not for nothing that it’s grass !
This is part of the Royal Selangor Club. The roots of this golf club are 19. century. This is one of the British traces in the region.
Royal Selangor Club and Its Lawns
The architecture of Royal Selangor Club is more reminiscent of the Far East.. With the Abdul Samad Building just across it and the skyscrapers rising behind it, this presents one of the most interesting paintings I’ve ever seen. Different country estimates can be made for each square photograph you take in Malaysia!
Meanwhile, the KL TV Tower behind Sultan Abdul Samad and the famous Petronas Towers are also part of this remarkable view.. I know you’re all looking forward to Petronas Towers, there’s more
KL TV Tower and Petronas Towers behind Sulan Abdul Samad
Panggung Bandaraya Theater
Lawn husband I’m walking north from the field. Here is a small memorial park that reminds me of the Vienna one, with a pond in the middle.. I’m staring ahead.
Must be the Panggung Bandaraya Theatre! This theater takes the architectural differences beyond what I’ve just seen.. It’s like I’m in Edinburgh…
Panggung Bandaraya Theatre, with an island architecture called the British Colonial 20. built at the beginning of the century. Although its main function is the city hall, nowadays it is the place where important art events in KL are held.
Panggung Bandaraya Theater
Masjid Jamek
I am finally in Masjid Jamek, aka Jamek Mosque.
Jamek means a place of worship in Arabic, this is where the mosque gets its name. Like its counterparts in the square 20. built at the beginning of the century. It resembles more Moroccan and Islamic structures in Merdeka Square.. The mosque has a large courtyard and is open for worship !
Masjid Jamek
Unfortunately, I can’t go inside for now. They don’t even let me near the mosque because I’m wearing shorts. Of course, you can’t enter with shorts, but I don’t think there should be such a strict rule, especially in such a climate when shorts can always be worn! Maybe this is how it is implemented so that the worship inside is not affected by tourists, mostly non-Muslims.
I’m in the city’s central financial district again.. The street I’m on is a little flat because the airrail passes right over us. Even though it gives the city a modern and lively atmosphere, I couldn’t get used to it!
Now I will head towards the modern face of Kuala Lumpur. I’m jumping on the subway !
One of the Low Streets I mentioned
Kuala Lumpur Subway – Urban Transportation
Speaking of the subway, I will open parenthesis for urban transportation in Kuala Lumpur. This place has an advanced rail network. You can reach most points in the city by metro and airrail.. The touristic spots are not far from each other anyway, there is no place that you cannot reach by walking a little after the metro.
You can buy the tickets from the machines when you get on the KL Metro.. It has a pricing ranging from 1-3 Ringit. Don’t be fooled when I say ticket! Reminds me of old Istanbul and ferry tokens…
Kuala Lumpur Metro
Kuala Lumpur Abbreviations
I think you understand where I’m going. I’m going to those famous twin towers. The best way is the subway of course.. Fortunately, there are English signs at the metro stations.. In this way, I was able to find my way, although it was not very easy.
After a 15-minute journey, I am in Kuala Lumpur City Center. To go to KLCC, you get off at the metro station of the same name.. You should get used to these abbreviations in Kuala Lumpur. They say straight KL. KLCC, the modern center of the city where Airports KLIA and Petronas Towers are located.
I Have One of Kuala Lumpur Tokens / KL Acronym this is the renewed center of the city. As a result of the works started in 1993 It was opened in 1997. This is a complex that includes a park with the same name, many skyscrapers and the KLCC Aquarium.
It was put into service in 1997, but It still cannot be said to be completed. New skyscrapers and various living spaces are being added around KLCC day by day.
KLCC Area Overview
Suria KLCC Shopping Center
The enormous height of Petronas, before you even see the sky while exiting the subway towers welcome me. The architecture of these towers is truly impressive! As I push my neck to the limits I enter Suria KLCC Shopping Center just below Petrona Towers.
Suria KLCC is a huge shopping mall. Inside there is everything you are not looking for. In my opinion, the most important point of shopping in Malaysia. Unlike the street markets in the city, there are quite a few quality shops and products.. The right address for those who are considering buying electronic products from Malaysia.
Inside Suria KLCC
Shopping in Kuala Lumpur
The prices in Suria KLCC actually didn’t seem that cheap to me.. More precisely, at the average level. I didn’t know if it was necessary to come this far from our country just for shopping? It is a fact that electronic products are 10-20% cheaper.. But I haven’t come across anything cheap enough to say let’s buy it out of the blue.
I walk out the KLCC Park side gate of the mall, the atmosphere here is amazing! The huge park in front of the mall is complemented by lights and ornamental pools.. Behind me are the enormous Petronas Twin Towers.
Suria KLCC and the Rising Behind Petronas Towers
Petronas Towers
Petronas Towers is perhaps Malaysia’s most iconic structure. This country Even those who don’t know much about it know this engineering marvel.. Opened in 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers are 88 floors and 452 meters high!
When these twin giant towers were opened, they were the tallest buildings in the world. Although it has now lost its throne to Burj Khalifa Dubai, it is still one of the tallest and most eye-catching buildings in the world.
Petronas Tower / It Looks Beautiful I Know But I Taken It With My Own Phone
In my opinion, what distinguishes Petronas Towers from other skyscrapers is its modern architecture.. The imposing and powerful stance of these twins, which were designed with reinforced concrete core and steel supports, integrated with the gray color, is like a message from Kuala Lumpur to the whole world!
The weather is starting to get dark now.. It is no coincidence that I am here at this hour. I chose the right time to watch the beautiful atmosphere here and these twin giants both in the daytime and under the lights.
The Petronas Towers are even more beautiful with the night lights. Luckily, with the Moon hitting her head on it gave me a visual feast!
The Giant Columns of Petronas Towers
KLCC Park – Light Shows
At KLCC Park You can also see pleasant light shows in the pool at night.. Actually the concept here is very familiar to me! It is almost exactly the same as the complex in front of the Dubai Burj Khalifa building.. But I must remind you that this place was built long ago.
I am returning to Suria KLCC with the idea of having something to eat and drink while sitting in KLCC Park and watching this beautiful view.. I stumble upon a huge supermarket on the bottom floor where my senses are dragging me on. You can find all kinds of products here.
KLCC Park and Pool
Kuala Lumpur Market Prices
Meanwhile, I have the chance to examine market prices in Kuala Lumpur.. Although the market is actually in a touristic area, the prices are quite affordable! Instead of spending money at luxury cafes in the mall you can buy something here and go to the park.
Since I am in a tropical region, I embrace the idea of buying fruit in hot weather, what is that? Yellow Watermelon ! I have never seen it before in our country. I buy the yellow watermelon for only 2.8 ringit for 0.85 kg package
Yellow Watermelon I Bought from the Market
Now I can rest at a beautiful spot in KLCC Park and eat my watermelon while watching the view.. Watermelon that we know the taste of, only yellow color !
This is how I end my long day, I will take the subway to my hostel as I came again.. I’ve been to a lot of places to visit in Kuala Lumpur, where I just arrived today, but I haven’t finished the places to see in KL.. Now a sweet sleep…
End of the Night / Petronas Towers and Me
Tuesday, May 02, 2017. Waking up to a new day in Kuala Lumpur. It’s almost my first week in Southeast Asia, time flies fast. Today, my route is to go a little north of Kuala Lumpur.
I set off after breakfast and a little chat at the hostel.. Don’t mind I said north of the city, this is Batu Caves, that famous Hindu Temple and Cave.
The Beautifully Decorated Gate of My Hostel / When Going Out
How To Get To Batu Caves?
<
Trains are the most sensible way to go from Kuala Lumpur center to Batu Caves. I am walking towards Kuala Lumpur Central Station of KTM. This place is only a few hundred meters from my hostel. You can get on the trains to Batu Caves from this station.
Train services to Batu Caves are made every half hour on average.. You only need to pay 2 ringit for this trip. You can easily buy your ticket from the machines at the station.. That’s how I do it and I wait for my train.
It seems like it’s hotter today! I still can’t get used to Southeast Asia’s hot and humid weather. While I’m waiting for the train, it’s like I’m going to faint from the heat. Fortunately, I get on a beautiful air-conditioned train without waiting too long.
The train to Batu Caves is comfortable and modern.. Most of the people inside are also tourists.. You can watch KL scenery along the way.. After 45 minutes, I arrive at Batu Caves !
While Waiting for my Batu Caves Train / KTM Kuala Lumpur Station
Batu Caves
First of all, I would like to talk about Batu Caves. Consisting of the Batu Caves and the Murugan Statue, this region is one of the holy places of Hinduism.
These wide and deep caves are said to have been formed over 400 million years.. It was discovered and became famous in the 19th century.. 20. Along with the stairs and temple built at the beginning of the century, this place has become one of the most important Hindu Temples in the world.
The First Sculpture I Came across after the Station / Batu Caves
Murugan Statue
The Lord Murugan Monument was built next to the cave stairs in 2006. Dedicated to Murugan, a holy Hindu God, this monument is 42 meters high and one of the most famous and majestic among its kind.
I’m leaving the station.. This region has a mystical and unique atmosphere. The steep and steep mountain rising next to me is as if it will topple over me!
Murugan Statue and Stairs to Batu Caves
I walked up to the entrance of Batu Caves. Along the way, there are tourist shops, local facilities integrated with nature and plenty of beautiful monuments.. Finally, I can see the Murugan Statue rising in front of me.
In the photos it is it looks bigger and more eye-catching. It impresses you when it integrates with the stairs next to it and the nature behind it.. It is not difficult to understand that this is a religious place.
Strength the base now! It’s time to reach Batu Caves up these stairs.. First of all, let me note that it is free to exit here.. You climb hundreds of steps of stairs, but there is such an exciting journey to the atmosphere that it is impossible to get tired.
Climbing Towards Batu Caves / Kuala Lumpur
Chimpanzees of Batu Caves
As you climb the stairs, there is a more beautiful one behind you. the landscape appears. We have guests on this journey too!
Yes, these stairs are full of cute chimpanzees and monkeys. Although I’ve seen them in zoos before, it’s surprising that they are in such life. This is the first time I’m getting this close to them.
One of the Delightful Chimpanzees on the Stairs
I’m taking photos and videos with these little chimpanzees before I even visit the temple. The biscuits in my pocket have caught their attention! I feed them with my hands
I reach Batu Caves. The atmosphere here is very different.. It’s like a vast world that grows as you enter.. The ceiling of the cave is so high that it is as if I plunged into the world of the Lord of the Rings.
Inside of Batu Cave
Batu Hindu Temple
You can cool off a little with the water dripping slightly from the top.. Inside the cave there is a path and stairs that you can follow. Finally gets you to an open spot. Right here, you arrive at the Hindu Temple.
It is not such a small temple, what makes this place important is its location.. I come across a small ritual, this is my favorite ! It is always a pleasure to have such different experiences abroad.
Batu Hindu Temple
Today, I am at a moment when I witnessed it for the first time. Lighting candles and wishes…I only enjoy the photos, of course.
It’s time to go down. There is a separate section at the top of the stairs.. Here you can tour the depths of Batu Caves for a fee.. The unique bat species and environment in these caves must be amazing.
I Hold One of the Lighted Candles in the Temple
I can recommend it for those who have time and interest,I don’t know how safe At the entrance, the dead states of some living things inside are exhibited in glass lanterns.
Going down the stairs requires a little more attention! I’m finally at ground level. I was so thirsty and sweaty that I can’t describe it. I have a good idea for the solution.
Exotic Creatures in Batu Cave
Things to Do in Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia’ Do you think you can come back without drinking Coconut water? Whatever you call Kokonat or Coconut, one should not return without tasting it in this region.. There are many places around Batu Caves that you can buy for 5 ringgit.
They break it with a few knife blows before my eyes, fix it and put a straw on it.. I’ve never had it before, I like the taste. I think I can love anything cold in this heat anyway.
With the Kokonat I ate / In front of me / Batu Caves
I have finished the places to visit in Batu Caves, I am returning to the center of Kuala Lumpur again. I’m at KL Central station where I took the train. Now I will explore the area behind this station, that is, to the west of the city.
This can be described as the museums and theme parks section of Kuala Lumpur.. Before I forget, I think that the station building is also historical and worth photographing, it should not be overlooked.
I’m Not The Only One Cooling With Coconut
Malaysian National Mosque
The National Mosque of Malaysia is the first thing I see.. This is a new generation modern mosque. You can sense this futuristic atmosphere from the courtyard to the interior design.. There is a mountain of difference between them and Masjid Jamek a few kilometers away!
The Modern Courtyard of the Mosque
This time I can get in, it’s not legal at all! I do a few prayers and take pictures, regardless of the prohibitions. The interior of the mosque is so spacious and clean that people’s spiritual feelings rise.
There is also the Islamic Museum right across the street.. I didn’t have much time to visit.. It might be nice for those who will spend 3-5 days in KL !
Inside the Malaysian National Mosque
Kuala Lumpur City Park
Now I’m entering a huge park. After seeing this place, I can’t call any place a park! A regular landscape has completed a lush vegetation as far as your eye can see.. Walking in the park seems to extend one’s life.
In this park, there are KL Bird Park, where you can see tropical birds, Kuala Lumpur’s general botanical garden and Orchid & Hibiscus Gardens.. You can visit all the parks I have mentioned for a small fee.. It will be very enjoyable even just to walk around and look at it from the corner of your eye.
The park also has a pleasant member Planetarium Negara.. This is KL’s sky observatory. The colorful stairs can take you to other lands.
Walking in Kuala Lumpur City Park
Rains of Kuala Lumpur
I will now walk through the park to return. The sky began to give its signals. All of a sudden it started raining so strong! I was expecting such a rain discharge from the heat of the air.. When caught in such a rain in a tropical region, among the forests, the exotic colors of plants and creatures become even more beautiful.
I was stuck here for a while Fortunately, I found myself a tiny gazebo. Watching the rain has always made me happy.
In this way, I can see the places to visit in Kuala Lumpur. i have completed. Now, I would like to tell you my general recommendations as a result of my impressions in the city.
In the Rain After a Few Minutes
Why Go to Kuala Lumpur?
First of all, I suggest you all come to Kuala Lumpur. This place has a striking cosmopolitan nature. As you walk down the street, you see conservative Muslims on one side and people walking around in Buddhist Clothing on the other.. On the other hand, the daring clothes of Christian tourists!
Everything you can see in Kuala Lumpur is unique to this city and country.. This place has both a different geography and a different culture.. To experience all of this, you must mingle with the public.
Kuala Lumpur Botanical Garden
Climate of Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur
Speaking of climate, Kuala Lumpur and General Malaysia are very close to the equator. is located. It is under an Equatorial and Tropical climate. It is very hot here all year round! Come whenever you want. But if you are going to visit in the spring like me, be prepared for occasional rains.
While making plans to avoid these rains before you arrive. When I came here, I said “I hope it will rain”! The weather is so hot and sweltering that rain is an escape for life.
I don’t know how to travel in Kuala Lumpur without rain
Me, Soaked in the Sudden Rain / Kuala Lumpur Park
How Many Days to Visit Kuala Lumpur?
I think it would be ideal for you to spend 2-3 days in Kuala Lumpur like me. You can experience the places to see in this city during this time.. You must explore other cities in your remaining time.

How are the Malaysian People?
I didn’t talk much about the Malaysian people, but you learned about their ethnicity.. As a result, people in this city are very respectful to each other.. But Malaysia doesn’t have a conservative air either! If you don’t act too absurd, you’ll get on well with the people here, and their English is surprisingly good.
Kuala Lumpur Financial Center / One of the Modern Faces of the City
Kuala Lumpur Nightlife
I did not mention the nightlife in Kuala Lumpur. Since the busiest schedule of my route coincided with Kuala Lumpur, I was content with just visiting.. I may have saved my entertainment needs for Cambodia, which I will visit tomorrow
There is no place that can be called an entertainment center in Kuala Lumpur. I came across bars in different parts of the city in a scattered way.. most of them were in restaurant-bar concept. I’ve already said that this place has a somewhat conservative Muslim side.
Batu Caves / Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Those thinking of nightlife in Malaysia can head to the entertainment center islands, including Langkawi.. The famous spots of Thailand, Phuket and Pattaya, are very close to this geography and it is very easy to reach.
