17 hours in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is a city on the move, but it takes its time. It’s Hong Kong Lite, a modern, former British colony that loves business but doesn’t forget to stop and smell the hibiscus.
It’s Singapore minus the obsessive cleanliness, with a healthy dose of that Southeast Asian chaos we love so well. It has a sparkling monorail, the incredible Petronas Towers (oh how they sparkle at night), glitzy arcades with fancy restos, but plenty of raucous street vendors to balance it out.
And the food!
We spent 17 hours there between Singapore and India – Air Asia flights from KL to Chennai are dirt cheap. We cherished every second.
