So.. Anything to do in Kuala?

Whenever you read, people will say that there is no need to spend much time in Kuala Lumpur. Not much to see, not much to do and if you are living in Indonesia not much to eat either, cause the food is pretty much the same. Well, let me tell you all these people saying that, were actually right. Yeah, not here to debunk anything or give you a view of KL tourists never seen before, cause I am a pretty basic tourist myself anyway (or traveler if you want to be more Instagram friendly). My trip mostly consisted of the Petronas Towers, which were indeed impressive, but for how long can you stare at two towers? Oh, and the Mall near by, which was perfect to escape from the hellish reality called tropical climate (If you like it, the more power to you, but it is really hot to stay out for a long time). Most other tourists seemed to have the same plans as me, cause the most people I saw, were taking pictures in front of the Towers. There were also the most street vendors/ annoying voices selling you extra cameras for your camera, didn’t buy.

So, yeah except for the Petronas Towers and the area around, the KL tower and Merdeka park area there is not much more to see in KL and you can go around all that in one day or two. You can also see awful hostels, that you have paid, but don’t have a room for you, because the changed owners, so their previous bookings are all invalid somehow (very general example, not a specific experience or a story for another time at all), but I am not sure that is something people seek for their holidays. And the Batu Caves, which are truly and without any hint of sarcasm amazing and something unique in Malaysia (at least for me). It is very easy to reach them too, with the MRT. They, also, have monkeys, what place can be bad if there are monkeys?

However, KL is perfect as a hub city. Their airport has cheap flights for all over Asia, even for small countries like Brunei (is that a teaser??). So the best plan for KL is to go there, spend a couple of days, and then book for a cheap flight anywhere else you want. And in general KL has good spots and it is not expensive at all, but it can be too hot and too not interested for many days.
