...and my boyfriend stayed in Kuala Lumpur for three nights in October this year and had a wonderful time. GETTING THERE We visited Kuala Lumpur as part of a package deal. We flew to Borneo, stayed there for 2 weeks, and then flew from Borneo to Kuala Lumpur, which took us about 3 hours. A flight direct from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur would take about 13 hours and many people choose to do stop overs in Kuala Lumpur, as it is very easy to fit into any ...
...a stopover in Kuala Lumpur (often called KL) was because it was offered to us at a very cheap price, £8 per night per person and we thought it would break up our flight home. ACCOMADATION We stayed at the 4 star Capitol Hotel which was right smack bang in the middle of town.

Advantages: A Modern City On The Way Up.
Disadvantages: Lacking The Intensity Of Many Other South East Asian Cities.

...the south and the capital Kuala Lumpur. With such an exotic name as Kuala Lumpur (the Malaysians call it KL) it is easy to be disappointed when you actually arrive in the city. Compared with other capitals in South East Asia, KL (like most of Malaysia) is comparatively wealthy. Its huge shopping malls are packed with kids wearing the newest designer gear and many of the restaurants are places to be seen in rather than eat in. A thriving economy means ...
...small enough pub scene in Kuala Lumpur, much like the rest of Malaysia. The most popular places are found in the Golden Triangle area and include the Hard Rock Cafe (awful) and the Long Bar (expensive). There is a cheaper alternative near the central market called the Bulls head although we never got round to visiting it. Many of the bigger hotels have night-clubs. It seems that the most popular place to drink amongst tourists though is in the restaurants ... Read review

...The trip to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur was triggered by an invitation to a wedding in Kuala Lumpur (called KL from now on). We didn’t get that much time to plan the trip because we got the invitation on pretty short notice. We did manage to get tickets round trip from Stavanger to Singapore for about 6000 Norwegian kroner (about 650 US dollars) and that is not bad. Maybe the price is related to the time of year when we went on the trip. We started ...
...Bus trip to Kuala Lumpur The following day we took the bus to Kuala Lumpur. The round trip ticket to KL cost 46 Singapore dollars. The ride itself takes about 4-5 hours and on the bus they show a movie. There are normally a few stops on the way where you can buy something to eat and drink. I have taken this bus before but I took it by night the last time. It doesn’t really matter cause there is not that much to see apart from green, thick “jungle”. ... Read review

Disadvantages: Busy

...been a shopping hub in Kuala Lumpur and today houses a number of one stop shopping complexes such as Bukit Bintang Plaza, Lot 10, Star Hill Shopping Centre and Sungai Wang Plaza. My favourite,however,is the KL Plaza. This place pioneered the concept of shopping under one roof. The anchor tenant is Mun Loong department store which is a great place to buy exceelent value-for-money ladies and gents clothing. I regularly buy shirts for my husband here. ...
...There is the Coco Thai Suki restaurant which provides authentic Thai food or if you want healthy Japanese food you could opt for the Omoto Robata-Yaki restaurant or alternatively the Nakamura restaurant.
