"Magnificent Islamic high-rises towering over multilane highways contrast starkly with the historic shophouses of Chinatown and British-colonial architecture"
For me, Kuala Lumpur has been the perfect place to start this adventure. Whilst the heat, humidity and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indians and Westerners make it feel very different from home, the widespread use of English and the overwhelming friendliness of the people I've met have made it very easy to adapt. The guidebook attractions are worth visiting, the food lives up to its reputation but I wonder if I'll easily forget the cockroach and rat that joined me for what would otherwise have been my first meal alone?
