A quick stop in KL

MALAYSIA | Saturday, 6 December 2008 | Views [205]

I had a very short visit to Kuala Lumpur (KL) on my way to Cambodia because my flights did not connect, so I visited for less than a day. Most people say that KL is boring and there is not much to see. I just can't understand that. I had lots of things I wanted to do there. And architecturally its a very interesting city. Anyway, I basically spent an evening in the Bukit Bitang area (where the tall buildings and nice shopping are), where I spent way too much money at a Spanish Tapas bar (mmm, spanish brandy). Actually KL is an expensive place, except that there was a really nice hostel right in the think of things, that was quite well priced (I forget but around $20 for a single). In the morning I went to see the national mosque. People kept trying to get me to go somewhere else. And hardly anyone could tell me where it was (just behind the main train station in the center of the town). The mosque was quite beautiful, and there was a volunteer there who gave me and this philopeno couple a nice 1 hour tour with lots of information about Islam. I highly recommend visiting there. But my visit was too short (I go back at the end of December). I had a nice lunch and had to catch the plane for Phnom Penh.
