I'v been here last year in January for my Management Training, was there for 5days out which 2 days were my training & rest i was exploring KL With my friends.
Kl is the capital of malaysia, and singapore & thailand are its neigbouring countires. There are people from different places over here, like English, Chinese, Malay,Indian & so on.
The language spoken over here is Malay or English. I stayed in the Prince Hotel which is 4 star hotel & its really good one if you see the services they give you 325Ringates.(Ringates its the local currency of Malaysia 4Ringates=$1). so the price of staying at such a hotel was quite cheap. My room was at 12th floor so was having a good view of KL, also petronas Tower is quite near to it.
The KL Internationa Airport is just brilliant, once you land over here and you see the architecture of this you just say Wow. there is tube service running to take you from your check out & check in To the terminals Gate.
If you dont have any friends over there who could guide you then the best option for you is to book a tour, there are many tour provider who will take you in an out of KL showing you the places.
The KL railway staion has air -conditioned waiting halls if you travellling by the train, which is a good ride and the fastest way to reach from one end of KL to another. You will find money Exchange booths Everywhere & also tourist information booth.
The central Market is a center for the display & development of Malaysian culture, arts & crafts. You can see some activities & performance going on most of the time. Like Fortune telling, Shadow puppet Plays, glass blowing, Batik Painting, art classes, Singing performances etc.
Also to visit places are the Royal Palace, National Museum & Jamek Masjid which is the most famous Masjid over here.
The Petronus Tower or the largest twin tower todays are also worth watching. The Shopping mall next to it i dont remember the name, i think its KLCC is one of the biggest in KL and you will have a good time shopping over here as you will find all the top brands over here. You;v got food malls which have some delicious food. Malaysia is a place where you can do some good shopping.
Chinatown is also a place to shop where you get products from China, Its good but you have to be good at bargain, coz if you good at it then you can get the same product at a very good price. Then also visit craft Cultural Complex. I have also seen some of the rural houses on Ampang road. these house are built to be protected from heat & Humidity. so they are built on stilits,have tiny holes in walls & high peaked roofs. Even if there is a slight breeze it helps to cool the interior.
At KL Tower at the top there is Seri Angkasa Revolving restaurant where i has a buffet Lunch. it was a nice exp to be at the top when its revolving and have your food.
Also went to the Batu caves where there are 300 steps to climb. There are large limestone outcrop & it is done by Hindu Dieties.
there are quite good Shopping malls from where you can do your shopping. Night life is good in malaysia you will enjoy overe here.
Food is also good, if you want to eat local dishes then you have to go to some street side restaurant , i;m sure you will enjoe the tasty food.
But you shold avoide going out alone at night in KL as its risky, crime is still common at night, even though the goverment over there is working hard on it. Few places which are near to Kl are more risky, so do check if you going outside KL.
I have not been for much time in KL so could not explore it more, but would definately like to go once more & visit place that i havent. Also when to visit the Batik Factory to see how they make Batik, it was a good exp.
