Kuala
Lumpur Day
Tours and Short Tours |
With
a population of over 1.5 million, the capital of Malaysia is one of
the most colorful and dynamic
cities of the world. "KL", as it is most popularly known, is a
unique mixture of old and new... where graceful Mosques, elaborately
designed Chinese and Indian temples merge with modern skyscrapers
and office blocks.
You'll find shops selling traditional Chinese medicine, wizened fortune
tellers setting up on pavements, little hole in the wall shops with
signs in Arabic, Chinese and Roman... selling everything from incense
sticks to deodorants...and all of this amidst supermarkets and malls
stocking the latest designer luxury items.
There'll be the ever popular open air stalls (or hawkers, as they're known)
serving up all kinds of local cuisine, from South Indian
dosas,
idlis, wadas to Malay
Nonya
food to Chinese dumplings and yaung tau foo.
And if you fancy Western, try out the plentiful coffee shops, pizzerias and
restaurants scattered all over the city. It's
a dazzling blend of cultures and people...all of which contribute to
form a colorful milieu... and give an introduction to the country of
Malaysia. |
