Kuala Lumpur (“KL” as it is known) Seems to be playing “catch up” in comparison to sparkling Singapore. The city surely doesn’t lack in culture, it is a diverse mix of Malay, India, Arabic and Chinese. However, because recent development was built upon early infrastructure, this city is hard to navigate without a clear system of organization.
Because both the main bus terminal and (not so central) Central train station are under renovation – there is really so sense of arrival for the city. The iconic Petronas Towers help to orientate oneself in the city, especially when over cast skies and an equatorial sun make it hard to sense the cardinal directions.
The primary public open space is at the base of the Petronas towers. A large water feature flows through out. A common element in both KL and Singapore is the integration of rain water runoff into the street scape. Even when it isn’t raining, if I’m able to break though the humming of the city I can hear water flowing.
It is quite incredible the number of travelers I have encountered thus far. I had no idea so many young people would be trekking though south east Asia …
