"A great journey with old freinds and new ones" Kuala Lumpur by xaver

Kuala Lumpur Travel Guide: 5,926 reviews and 13,250 photos

I came here to visit an old friend and found a really pretty city and wonderful people to welcome me and drive me around.
The first impression I had walking around KL centre was the feeling of being small, everything there is high and that sometime lets you lose the sense of reality, you walk and wonder what will be happening at that high floor and why people need so high buildings to do things they could simply do on the ground.

old sultan palace

Second impression was the amoun of green you have in the city centre, yes you are surrounded by high buildings but you keep walking in the gardens full of tropican flowers and ancent trees, I must say I feel more confortable in this ground area.

Kuala Lumpur is a mix of races, cultures, languages, religions.
During my stay there I have been brought to a muslim home to enjoy their festivals and to an indian wedding and always felt welcome so I was wondering if culture devices are not just something we build in our minds.

Pros and Cons

Pros:People nature

Some1 has been reading too many sanitised lonely planet guides. 99% of tourists will tell u they only go to chinatown to grab a fakedesigner bargain. & otherwise the chinese people in KL are utter savages devoid of moral or human decency or manners.

Liked your tip on Indian marriages. In my pages I have added two personal albums on my marriage. You can check that out. I am sure you will like that too.

Now I see where your member-photo was taken, at the Indian wedding in KL. Do they have arranged marriages there, or do people decide themselves who they are going to marry? (I know someone who says arranged marriages work better, not sure I agree though.)
