This is a fantastic city to visit. Very cheap as well and the seafood is to die for.
There is also lots to do, go see if you are interested, and the shopping is awesome.

hahaha, you dam good, know the sea food is cheap and delicious over here, myself do not have chance to try it yet, hahaha
WOW! Manukan Island looks so picturesque! How far from KL is KK? Is it near Penang? Plenty of time for me to research-I wont be there for about 4 years!!!
Hi Steve..Thanks for sharing your informative tips and pics..have this on my list in my upcoming trip ..
Wasn"t that wharf area great? We had a nice meal at the "Pirates of Borneo" then sat and watched the sunset. Loved kk.
Nice page of KK. Bring back fond memories. KK is more laidback than Penang with the amazing Mt. Kinabalu in the hinterland and several islands just off the coast. Thanks for sharing. SL :)
Had to check out your KK page to see what you were talking about - very interesting Steve. Lori
Good pages on KK.Manuken Island looks great. Thanks for tips & pics

This is an excellent page Steve! Love the sunset photo's ...and toilet tips are always useful... I never have coins when I need them!!!
