Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of
Malaysia, is described as the city of contrast and diversity. When an opportunity came up to visit this incredible city, I grabbed it with both hands. Although I only managed to have a tiny taste of this hot, humid city in three short days, KL easily captivated me.
It's hot here. Very hot. 34°C and humid during the day, or 28°C at midnight. Even though there is a lot of activity happening during the day, the area where I stayed came alive at night.
Bukit Bintang,
is a lively and vibrant shopping and entertainment district. The
streets are buzzing with people well after midnight and lit up with
stylised Chinese lanterns and modern digital billboards. There is so much to see and take in.

Just a few minutes away is
Jalan Alor, the famous night food market that is open every evening from 5 pm. The atmosphere is electric as restaurants boasting giant picture menus compete with hawkers for customers. Here is what this busy street looks like at 9.30 pm on a Thursday night.

A highlight was visiting the spectacular
Petronas Twin Towers. These identical towers are a major feat of architecture and engineering. A light and fountain show starts on the hour every evening from 6-9 pm and is beautiful to watch. My photos cannot possibly capture the grandeur of these mighty buildings.

My tiny taste of Kuala Lumpur during my whirlwind visit has left this
