I did the most tourist-y activity in Kuala Lumpur --- take the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus around the city! It went pretty well actually; I didn’t have to struggle with a map and an MRT route. Plus I maximized my RM38 for two whole routes, jumping from the Craft Cultural Complex to the National Museum to the Petronas Twin Towers to China Town (Petaling Street) and finally, the Central Market. There were loads of photos along the way, presenting the progression of improved photography skills. Little Enzo’s looking better each time.
All I have to say is, Malaysians are probably the best modern architects out there. Of course, I have to give primary recognition to the Petronas Twin Towers. These magnificent structures look like they jumped out of the drawing board — almost looking animated and 2-dimensional, which is impressive for something 3D. Putrajaya was of course just ridiculously extravagant, in a modern way. They don’t have a lot of tours going that direction, but if you get the chance to drive by before entering KL, you should. It’s worth watching the light hit the glass buildings when you get there.
Oh and a little tip, when you get to the Central Market, look for the small stall that offers a 10-min foot reflexology for RM5. The catch? They use fish (and no pun intended). These little fishies bite off your callous feet because for the first time, there are actually creatures that get excited over dead skin cells! They have something similar at Underwater World Sentosa (Singapore), but they charge an arm and a leg. Trust me, 10 minutes is enough. The European ladies who sat next to me were squealing to no end! Hahaha!
