Indian wedding
by xaver
My favourite thing in Kuala Lumpur has been an indian wedding I attended to.
A friend of my friend had been invited to this wedding and so, somehow I got invited too. The wedding itself was nothing special, but it was the first real DIFFERENT experience I had in Malaysia.
What I mean is that ofcourse I visited temples ate local food excetra but nowdays you can't say you feel in another world when you visit a modern city like KL, instead I could say I was in another part of the world when I found myself at that celebration as it was really far from what I am used to see.
Shopping paradise!
by beachboy
Shopping! 'Bintang walk' area and KLCC Suria are now the most prestigious shopping haven in KL. Especially the KLCC Suria where the Petronas Twin Towers (World tallest building) are just next to it! If this is still not enough, then what about Sunway Pyramid, Midvalley Megamall and One Utama. Good news is all the shopping malls normally open from 10 - 10, 7 days a week. Kuala Lumpur is a city of 'night life' (But bear in mind, no strip bars in Malaysia). Many cafes, pubs, discos or even hawker centers operate untill 3-4 a.m. early morning. During the weekends, these places are usually crowded by people. Imagine, you can have supper/ breakfast at 2 a.m. early morning. Something you don't always get in Australia.
Shopping in Kuala Lumpur...

Shopping in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, the commercial hub of the country, has its fair share of famous landmarks, historical relics and heritage buildings plus a pulsating night life to keep the visitor occupied day and night. None of these, however, would be complete without the sheer fun and excitement of bargain hunting within the cool comforts of ultra-modem, one-stop shopping complexes or the thrill of browsing among antiques and curio items in the older establishments in the older parts of the city. Mingle with the jostling crowd at the numerous roadside stalls or share in the heady excitement of the carnival like 'pasar malam' or night markets. Jalan Bukit Bintang
Jalan Bukit Bintang, the 'Golden Mile' of Kuala Lumpur contains ultra-modern shopping and commercial complexes, interspersed with towering international standard hotels. Shoppers would lose all sense of time, browsing through the shops of Lot 10, Sungei Wang Plaza, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur Plaza and Starhill.
Chinatown
by l_joo
As this is a general tip, I want to show you what is the general food you can expect when you are in Kuala Lumpur. We are rice eater, this is a plate of rice mixed with curry and fried fish, an Indian styled of eating. Chinese cooking definitely are abundant in the area of Chinatown, so let's eat. Malay foods can be found too, they are at the small alley beside the Nando Chickens.
The way we eat is completely different because we already trained to use spoon and fork for many years. Our fork is for left hand to support when our right hand needed it. Fork can be used to pick up dishes as well. Our right hand is the actual hand to eat with spoon to scoop up the rice and other dishes. Spoon is used when we want to drink soup. We don't have knife when we eat, only when we go to Western foods restaurant.
Eating with fingers is very common in Lumpur. Fingers eating only when you eat Indian and Malay foods in rice and dishes. If you are eating noodles soup, please don't use fingers.
Smile that charming smile of yours.

A warm smile facilitates you wherever you go or do, not only in KL, but everywhere in Malaysia. Malaysians smile not only to those they know, but also to travellers. So, all you have to do is to smile back. And, they'll take time to give you directions and useful tips, if ever the need arises. Always be courteous and humble. It doesnt hurt to be polite. Being down to earth helps you to mingle into the crowd and that'll make you experience more enjoyable.
