What to do in Kuala Lumpur?
ENOne day to lose in Kuala Lumpur, before taking the plane back home? So much the better... Because in KL (everyone says "KL", it's more trendy), there are a lot of nice things to do...
(Note how I'm very positive, to counteract the spleen at the end of the trip. I will miss Malaysia...)
For example, we can:
👉 Admire the evolution of the latest urban construction sites in progress between two buildings, from his room on the 15th floor:
👉 Read, at the jump of the bed, after a recuperative sleep, the news of the Straits Times...slipped under the door by a discreet hand:
👉 Shopping with George Clooney in the mega-malls of Bukit Bintang, in the "Golden Triangle", at the foot of the Twin Towers :
👉 Photographing passers-by and ladies in black from Arab countries who only show their eyes:
👉 Taking a picture of his feet, pecked by little cleaner fish in the aquarium of a fish spa :
👉 Sing the best of the best marshmallow Asian hits with your friends in a glass karaoke booth:
😂
Otherwise, for "real" activities in Kuala Lumpur, there is plenty of choice and you will find plenty of information in all the good guidebooks on Malaysia.
I embark later for more than twelve hours of flight... I console myself of the spleen of the return to the airport of KL, by swallowing an ultimate roti canai (a kind of crepe to soak in curry), while strumming on the web thanks to the wifi.
I'll be back soon to tell you about Derawan and Kakaban, and then Sangalaki and Sipadan again ... (sigh)
The end already! Good luck for your return, because 12 hours on a plane is a long time! I loved watching the stingrays from time to time. It was great, thank you for this wonderful trip.
Welcome back! 🙂 Have you tried the fish spa? How was it?
Welcome back!
Ahhh the fish, what horror! I could not leave my feet to his stupid little ones!
Have a good trip and come and tell us all about it when you return.
@Sandrine: But I've still got plenty to tell you, and plenty of images and videos to show. I'm going to continue the journey here, on this blog (as soon as I've recovered from the jet lag, because now that I'm back, I'm feeling a bit sluggish... twelve hours on the plane was a long time, indeed).
🙂
@ Marie-Julie: I was tempted to try it out, but as I've got a few little sores, particularly on my left foot (remember the stingray), I didn't really want those pesky cleaning fish digging up the wound again, even though it's well closed and healed. So I settled for taking pictures of the Asian tourist taking pictures of her feet and shopping with George Clooney...
😆
@Manta: Thank you, I'm back!
😉
@RolK: Yes, I can understand... I don't really like cleaner fish in the wild, underwater. (But if I hadn't had my little post-injury protective crusts on my foot, which I prefer to keep, I'd have been curious to test the pedicure effect anyway). I already talked about it here, in a previous post:

It's stupid, I was there this week in KL, we could have had a teh tarik with a prata... next time 😉
Thib.
@Thib: What a pity, it would have been the perfect opportunity to get to know each other “in real life”!!!! Anyway, I treated myself to a roti canai to console myself for leaving...
😉
I imagine you'll be taking advantage of this rainy Saturday to see and review all your photos?
finally long live the rain, you'll be able to continue your reports 😉 and let us enjoy them 🙂
@Laurence: Good point... I'm in the middle of sorting and classifying photos. Indeed, given today's rotten weather in Rennes, I might as well stay home!!!! And I'll be delivering new articles very soon... Patience!
🙄
Good sorting! ... long hours of classification in perspective ...
@Manta: Another way to extend the holidays ...
😉
Welcome back to the base!
The city of KL seems a lot less exciting than in the film haute voltige! Although, Mr Teoh's death must have been really interesting to make the front page of the Stait Times 😀 Yes, Saturday it was raining in St. Malo too, but I did two nice dives there anyway, the Walter Darré in the morning and the Fletard in the afternoon (it was raining cats and dogs!). Which just goes to show that you don't need to travel 5,000 km to have fun 😆 😀 And what's more, the water was warm, 18 C at the bottom....
@Max: I'm not a fan of KL, I must say ... I think I much prefer Bangkok, in the big Asian city kind.
Of course, you don't have to travel thousands of kilometers to have fun, but to say that the water is warm at 18°C is no joke (well, OK, warm for Saint-Malo... 😆 ).
But, I can't help it, I prefer water at 29°C (below that, I come out blue). 😛
Haha, huge karaoke!
I'm going to Kuala Lumpur 1 week in November, I'll try to do at least one of the activities you recommend!
Maybe karaoke by the way (I sing super badly) 🙂
