The Stanleys and I stayed in Chinatown, in Kuala Lumpur for the first 3 nights. Pentaling Street is in the center of Chinatown. It is a flea market where they sell lots of different things like watches, handbags, shoes, souvinairs, food and so much more. Most places around Kuala Lumpur don't open until 10 or 11am. Stall holders start setting up their stalls from about 10am and then from about 5pm even more stalls are opened down the middle of the street.

| My favourite stall on Pentaling Street. It sells so many different types of fruit all cut up and ready to eat. |

There is lots of places to buy food on the side of the road. There are inside restaurants like we have in New Zealand but there are more outside restaurants.

Some of the restaurants cook your food to order from a menu and others are buffet style where the food is cooked and you choose what you want.

Brickfields (Little India), Kuala Lumpur
After Chinatown the Stanleys and I moved closer to KL Sentral and stayed in Little India which is also known as Brickfields.
We took a train into Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC).
There are lots of shopping malls, hotels, office buildings and a park.
 |
| The Petronas Towers, at 88 storeys, were the tallest buildings in the world until the end of 2004. They are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. The skybridge (the bridge between them) is 2 storeys high and is at levels 41 and 42. |
 |
| There are lots of different companies working out of the towers and there is a shopping mall and an aquarium under the towers. |
 |
| There were less motorbikes and more cars in Kuala Lumpur, compared to Bali. |
