[QUOTE="Lonely Tylenol, post: 1643915, member: 18549"] [b]Kl[/b] I was stranded in KL for about a week and a half while waiting for a Chinese visa to come through. Try to find a decent hotel with air conditioning while you're there. It'll make things a bit nicer. KL is a smoggy, noisy, hot city, but at least the people there aren't hostile. For food, I can recommend a little vegetarian place called Govindas, near the Indian district. It's got really great food, and the prices are pretty sweet. Being a vegetarian myself I stayed away from the street foods for the most part since they're mostly meats. Watch out for the water while you're there, and beware of bottled water, which may have been refilled from the tap. The night markets were pretty nifty, considering that it's so bloody hot during the day that a night-time market makes sense. However, the local shops close pretty early otherwise. When I was there I went to the bird sanctuary down by the river. It was pretty nice, and they have a large array of many types of exotic birds all under an enormous mesh tent. Definitely worth a look. I really didn't find KL to be that entertaining of a place to visit, but then I'm not the sort who starts up conversations with random strangers, so YMMV. I enjoyed the Beijing leg of my trip much more. Mind you, the KL airport is one of the nicest airports I have ever slept in to save hotel fees. Also, my hotel was infested with the cutest little geckos I have ever seen. [/QUOTE]
