Kuala Lumpur 2011

Traveling from Malacca to Kuala Lumpur by bus was a comfortable ride, however we did not really know where in KL we would end up. It turned out that we ended up in a large train station, with a good connection to KLRapid, the local metro. Our stop was Passar Senir (gets it name from the Central Market as it is the first thing you see upon exiting the station).A  3 minute walk from our Amazing Hostel: The Explorer Guest House. As soon as one starts walking the streets of KL, you immediately feel the chaos and the energy of everyone walking around trying to make a living by selling food or services in one way or another. We took the afternoon to explore the Central Market and the China Town. There are always great bargains to be made in this part of the world, remember 1 euro is about 4 ringgit. Our stay in KL was short as we had to fly to Langkawi for Xmas, but we would return later for more shopping.
