								"Malaysia, Truly Asia,” is a unique multiracial 
								and multicultural country, and nowhere is this 
								more apparent than in Kuala Lumpur, the capital 
								of Malaysia. Every corner you pass is a 
								testament to the assimilation of all races, 
								young and old, regardless of origin and class. 
								From the ultramodern skyscrapers to the quaint 
								coffee shops and heritage buildings of 
								yesteryears, there is something for everyone to 
								behold. |  |

						Feeling hungry? The wide 
						variety of cuisines in KL will astound you. From 
						fanciful fine-dining experiences to the humble food 
						courts and roadside stalls, there is something for every 
						palate. And the best part of it all is that food is 
						available round-the-clock! One tip: go where the crowds 
						are, and you are sure to be treated to culinary bliss!  
						 
						
						If you are the type who loves the
						heritage trail, then KL is just the place for 
						you! Whether it be carefully curated collections in 
						serene galleries or the living, breathing streets filled 
						with old-timers and curious explorers, Kuala Lumpur is a 
						rich chaotic mix of history grown and blended by its 
						people. Witness the beautiful halls of the National 
						Islamic Museum and the National Art Gallery, or immerse 
						yourself in the alleys of Jalan Pudu, Brickfields or 
						Petaling Street – you will not be disappointed!  
						
						Kuala Lumpur is also home to some 
						of the most illustrious shopping malls in 
						Southeast Asia. Indulge and experience the shopping in 
						Malaysia like no other! From premier malls offering 
						popular luxury brands to home-grown Malaysian brands 
						like Bukit Bintang, Pavilion and Starhill Gallery to the 
						more accessible ones like Sungei Wang, Suria KLCC and 
						Mid Valley Megamall, the size and offerings will surely 
						tickle your fancy. And if that is not enough, drop by 
						Berjaya Times Square for an amazing indoor theme park 
						within a shopping mall that is the largest of its kind 
						in Asia. |  |
