Kuala Lumpur.. quite like Manila




After the whole morning "payback- sleep", we woke-up around brunch time. We had scheduled paid tour arranged with the hotel in the afternoon, so the rest of the day before that_ was all on our own feet.

We decided to hit the shopping malls first ( SG friend loves to shop at KL where her SG$ is valued twice here and goods are a lot cheaper than SG.) so we were taking a cab. But getting a taxi here is not as easy and as safe in Singapore. Drivers in KL rarely use the meters and demand unreasonable fares. Similar taxi stories with Manila, but worser.




After few failed tries, we decided to just used the hotel car. Expensive but atleast a lot safer and lesser stressful than to deal with hard core taxi drivers on the road.




KL city roads look quite like Manila. Both are predominantly atop with MRT 's/LRT's. One train caught my fancy because it was a short train. Roughly only the size of two buses. That's short for a train, right?




Some mosques ascend from the side of the streets.








We got to the mall but.. not again!, it was still close. We headed to the Petronas Towers instead.
