We arrived at KL as the last leg of our journey across Malaysia and Borneo. KL offers excellent connection to and from the LCCT as well as KLIA terminals to the City Center (KL Central). We stayed at Pasar Seni, about a stop from KL Central on LRT (light rail transit). There are quite a number activities in and around KL. KL is typical like any major Asian Capital City. It is a confluence of ethnic communities and offers life on the fast lane.
The main shopping area (Bukit Bintang) is well connected with LRT through Monorail. You can hop on and off through transfer stations at KL Central or Dang Wangi. Low Yat Plaza is the place to be for tech enthusiasts. This time I saved time from shopping for DVDs. Although there is a notion that Malaysia can be a destination for shopping electronic items, I don’t think the price of consumer goods offered by American Stores is beatable! America is the place to be to shop for tech gadgets! On the other hand - if you are looking for counterfeited stuff, South east Asia is the best bet! That should make you extremely cautious about shopping for branded items in small retail shops in those shopping malls. It is advisable to go for reliable chain stores or hypermarkets (as they call it here).
Finding a decent budget accommodation can be a challenge in KL. There are quite a few in the China town area but they are priced in the medium range (RM 60 and above for a night). I heard that KLCC offers decent budget accommodations. If not try the Little India and Chinatown area. Based on our shopping experience, we found that the Guardian Chain of Stores were quite expensive than the Watson Chain of Stores. So, cross check the price before deciding to purchase.
