    Do you remember what the name of the movie theater was or where it was? That sounds amazing!

      The one we went to was at Berjaya Times Square, but they’re all pretty much like that.

    Hello there, I’m from Malaysia and I’m glad that you and your son enjoyed the lifestyles Kuala Lumpur.
    Speaking about the food in Malaysia, I had to agree that our food are tasty with different variety selections, and my favorites are the nasi lemak and roti canai. Had you try other local any Chinese or Indian food during your visit to KL?
    I had to agree with you that even for a 1-week plus visit in KL is certainly not enough to cover up the entire attractions and places that is a must for visiting. Are you guys will be visiting Malaysia soon? I don’t mind to spend my free time to give you and your son a fun tour of attractions in KL.

    Cheers.

    We spent almost 6 weeks in KL, mostly working in a shared workspace but we did see a lot of the city. KL is not our favorite city in the whole world but we do love it, in a strange way.
    Our host was a very politically involved German woman and she really got us involved in KL. We were there during election time. The whole city was buzzing with anticipation, which was great to see. I think this added to why we love KL, we saw its people go through ups and downs.
    For us, KL is a city full of memories, but it’s no Bangkok. We fell in love with Bangkok and we went back there three times already. Not sure if we will go back to KL.

      Isn’t my favorite in the whole world either, but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

      That must’ve been something to be there during the elections! WOW!

    Hey, I’m from Malaysia and currently living in kl. I’m glad that you loved our country and at the same time I feel sorry about your dissappointment while having holiday in kl.

    Kl is no doubt a business district more than a tourist area, although there are still quite a number of things to do and see, but longer stay would probably not recommended. Most visitors to kl will also visit the nearby states, if you don’t mind a little bit of traveling, batu caves, kampung Kuantan, bukit tinggi, genting highlands, Cameron highlands and Melaka city are some of the places that are worth more of your time.

    If you still prefer to explore more in kl, Chinese and Indian temples, historical monuments, shopping in major shopping malls, Chinatown are a few more attractions that should be able to kill your time. For nightlife, bukit bintang is a must go area.

    Hope you enjoy your stay during your next visit:)

      I think you misunderstood, Simon. We really liked KL and felt like we needed more time to explore it because we enjoyed it so much! There is a lot to do, and I think most people only plan on a few days, when really there’s much more to do than they might imagine.

        I believe Simon didn’t read what you’ve written Talon. If he spend some 9 minutes reading it till the end, he’ll realize that you actually enjoyed KL.

    I’m impressed by the number of things you managed to do in such a short period of time. Kuala Lumpur is an amazing place and looks so stunning at night, especially those two huge towers :). As for Malaysian food, I can’t wait to experience it again! It’s like a mixture of Khmer and Chinese cuisine for me, loooove it!

      And I felt like we didn’t really do all that much. LOL

      Malaysian food is so darn good!

    We had a very different response to KL than you did, at least initially! We had met up with some friends before visiting who had been really underwhelmed and disappointed in the city, so we rolled up mildly trepidatious. Unfortunately, our first visit went similarly to theirs, perhaps in part because we were located in the wrong district which made getting around a real pain and we just felt like we couldn’t get a good handle on the city. We left having only done a fraction of the things we thought we would, and wary about returning.

    However, the second time was the charm and we enjoyed our 2nd visit SO much more than the first. Maybe it’s because we already knew what to expect or because familiarity breeds affection… either way, we really enjoyed our second visit and found ourselves way more at ease, and really enjoyed the activities we attempted the second time around. KL still isn’t my favorite big Asian city, and definitely not my favorite Malaysian city, but it grew on me.

      Isn’t it funny how different areas can get such a different reaction from people. Bangkok was like your KL experience for me. The 1st time was blech! The 2nd time I thought, yeah I could handle spending more time here.
