We arrived in the city around 2 pm and
found the hotel. It is located in China
town which is a crazy place with markets.
There are businesses on both sides of the street and then booths in the
street which makes it difficult to move around.
Then, there is a market in the evening which completely fills the
street.
Our guide took us for a walk and showed us
where the Central Market is so that we can return there on our own to shop
later. It was about two blocks from our
hotel so easy enough to find. We took a
quick walk through and I found a few things I wanted to come back for.
From there, we walked to where the two
rivers meet in the city. You can see the
different colours where they merge. The
Petronas towers are visible from here.
Next we went to the LRT. There
were machines where you pay the fare which gives you a disc. You place the disc on the spindle which then
lets you in. Then, when you leave, you
deposit it to get out. The LRT was very
busy as it was around 6 and there were likely a lot of people on their way home
from work.
Once we got to our destination, we went
outside (the LRT let us out at a mall) to see the towers. We were going to hang out there until it was
dark but most of us were hungry so we headed into the mall to find food. This was an expensive mall as I saw quite a
few big brands – Gucci, Prada and many others.
There were six levels to the
mall, we didn’t explore them though.
After we ate, we went back outside and
waited for it to get dark to check out the towers all lit up. Unfortunately, the fountain was not working
as it was being repaired. We went back
to the LRT and the hotel. My feet were
so tired and the next day had another half day tour scheduled.
