Kuala Lumpur

KL was a little tin town 150 years ago and now is home yo 1.5 million people. KL is among the club of nice cities in east Asia. It has skyscrapers, colonial houses, Metropolitan parks modern public transport and a buzz ling nightlife which is centered in China Town. That's where I stayed at in a huge gym like hall with about 30 beds among the walls. It's the kind a place you expect if your home gets destroyed and a government agency brings you to a emergency relief shelter. But I liked it a lot and it was cheap. I wanted to go on top of the Petronas Towers but you have to stand in line for hours and then you are only allowed to go the skybridge in the middle of the amazing twin towers. So I enjoyed them from the ground. Then I walked through the city in the suburbs which is not suited for pedestrians. Only foreign tourists were walking a.k.a. waiting to get to the other side. But I found a nice little park with apes and from there I got to Little India. Which I liked once again.
The omnipresent mosques are not as load and aggressive as the ones I witnessed in Indonesia. They are more focused on low key. Maybe there is no need for PR if 90 percent is Muslim. The next day I went to the airport to fly to the Philippines.
