Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, the city I dreamed of seeing! And now, my dream has come true.

Although I only had a day for this city, I was convinced that even in such a short period of time you can fall head over heels into these walls of concrete and glass!

We didn’t have any special plans for visiting the sights, so we first walked around Chinatown, and then wandered towards the TV tower.

Chinatown is not only a cheap area with hotels, but also one continuous market. From lunch, the empty streets are filled with stalls where you can buy a fake of any well-known brand. This is one huge anthill.

Real China with its own traditions! ! !

I really liked the metro in the city: convenient, bright, cheap, and automatic (we did not see the driver). You can drive along the ground line and see everything around.

And the buildings around are just huge, perhaps this was influenced by the not so large territory of the city - everything is growing up.


Once upon a time, Malaysia was an English colony, and not only Catholic churches and abandoned buildings remind of this, but also the Malaysians themselves - they speak English, which is very convenient if you are lost. Well, to the white-skinned girl there is special attention from men. When I myself was riding the subway, they constantly tried to get to know me.

On the day of our stay in Kuala Lumpur there was some kind of holiday. Many did not work, and the streets were empty.

One of the tallest buildings in the city is the Menara Kuala Lumpur TV tower. Its height is 421 meters, which is 30 meters lower than the Petronas Towers. You can climb to the observation deck of Menara, which we decided to do. There are different ticket options, we bought a standard one for 47 RM

In addition to the observation deck on the TV tower, there is also a mini aquarium and a mini zoo, around which monkeys walk imposingly.

After walking around the city, we returned to our hotel and decided to take a break from a difficult move. Our room had no windows, which allowed us to switch off for a couple of hours. When I came to my senses, I went out onto the balcony in the hall and watched the bazaar growing at an incredible speed before my eyes...

And then it started to rain! Bright lights lit up all around, and I understood that at the moment the Petronases should shine! ! I pushed my friends aside, we took the subway and randomly drove towards the twin towers. When we left the passage, and I raised my head, I could hardly hold back my tears! They were PERFECT! And the rain passed, and I stood without a tripod and understood that complete garbage would come out of the photos! The clock was 22-00, there was little time for reflection. I left my friends and rushed back to the hotel for a tripod.

I can’t convey all the beauty, but I was kneeling in puddles, unscrewing the tripod, and tried my best ....

I don’t know what this city hooked me with, but I really want to go back there! There are so many more interesting things! ! !
