Accommodations
Red Palm Hostel
I stayed in a dorm room for MYR30 per night. The hostel was ok and provided good Internet connection for whenever I had to go online and work. Red Palm Hostel is a basic accommodation fit for budget travelers and backpackers.
Moon Eleventh
I stayed in Moon Eleventh because of its proximity to the bus and train station that went to the airport. The dorm room costs MYR43.1. This small guesthouse had great Wi-Fi connection and also served some cookies for snacks. Jessy, the owner, also picks up customers whenever they get down at the Salak Tinggi Station. You can contact Jessy through mooneleventh@gmail.com.
Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival from Manila
Walk around the city at night
Day 2
Hop On, Hop Off bus tour
Days 3 and 4 were mostly for transit when I went to Myanmar and Laos. I wanted to visit more places and do more things, but I would reserve those places for another time.
Kuala Lumpur is an efficient city that is easy to go around in; everything is easy to get to via public transport. The city scape changed at night, everything was aglow. The different sections of the city told their own story. Walking the streets of Chinatown, Little India, and the old streets that housed old colonial architecture and buildings depicted Kuala Lumpur's past, present, and future perfectly. This part of my trip was just as enjoyable as the other two which were Myanmar and Laos.
