Nice as big cities go

Spent a few days in KL and enjoyed it more than expected. It is a big city but feels safe. We found it really easy to get around with lots options for eating for all budgets, loads of shopping if you want to and lots of things to see. Petronas towers are quite impressive, especially at night, bird park was a bit of a disappointment for us and quite pricey.

Insider Tip:Chinatown good for a bargain and prices seemed to go down around closing time.

Arabesque of Kuala Lumpur

Spent only two days in KL and loved it! This is a truly multicultural city, both modern and traditional. People from all over the world seem to live, study or travel here. Mosques, chinese, hindu and christian temples surrounded by skyscrapers... All the places around are interesting to visit, and people seem very friendly. As far as I'm from Moscow huge traffic did not surprise me, but I should say the whole transportation system seem very wise, so the traffic jam could not stop me on the way.

Insider Tip:All people are good in English, so there were no communication gap. Try coffee and food at OldTime cafe! While shopping at Central Market you'll see that all goods are tagged with prices, but the seller can offer you a better price.

I love KL

people is so nice in here, and there is too much to do in KL you can walk in the city for days and there is always something to do.

KL, relatively clean and hot!

KL is a great city for exploring, but it can be oppressively hot. The two major malls are a good source of refuge for the mid-day sun. The food choices throughout the city are amazing. From outside food stalls to restraunts, there are endless dining options for any budget. I am an avid runner and there is a great rubberized track that circles the park below the Patronas towers. It is about 1300m with good elevation gains and decents. Overall I loved KL :)

Insider Tip:If you are not Muslim it may take a little getting used to the culture. Most alcohol is between $3-$7 per drink, so pland accordingly.
