Myself and my boyfriend stayed in Kuala Lumpur for three nights in October 2006 and had a wonderful time. GETTING THERE We visited Kuala Lumpur as part of a package deal. We flew to Borneo, stayed there for 2 weeks, and then flew from Borneo to Kuala Lumpur, which took us about 3 hours. A flight direct from Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur would take about 13 hours and many people choose to do stop overs in Kuala Lumpur, as it is very easy to fit into any package deal. The main reason we decided to include a stopover in Kuala Lumpur (often called KL) was because it was offered to us at a very cheap price, £8 per night per person and we thought it would break up ...  Read the complete review

Kuala Lumpur is a fabulous city with amazing things to see and do and some of the most welcoming and happy people I have ever met. It makes for a great place to stop for a few days en route to somewhere else, but there are plenty of things that make it a must visit destination in its own right. ==Getting to and Around the City== Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is obviously the main entry point into the city and it is located around 70 kilometres from the centre. There are various ways of getting into the centre. You can take a coach which departs every half an hour for about £5 each way or you can use the train which goes to the Chinatown ...  Read the complete review

I have just returned from a 3 month spell of living in Kuala Lumpur, and I must say it is an amazing cosmopolitan city. I once said that Bangkok was the greatest city in the world, but it has found its match in KL. Now the thing about KL is that is has developed so quickly in such a short amount of time, you could compare it to the New York's and London's of this planet. Everything there seems so organized. Now, like the reviewer before me mentioned, the people are incredibly friendly. I have lived in various countries of South East Asia, and I must say that the locals of Malaysia are the friendliest. There is also a large amount of Chinese and Indian citizens ...  Read the complete review

Ive been travelling to Kuala Lumpur for over 5 years now and every time i go it has changed in someway. I can never get bored of this city and everything about it is just amazing. i really dont know where to start.

During a three month trip around South East Asia, I was desperate to visit Malaysia. We travelled up from Singapore on an overnight train which was interesting. We joked that this train was like the Hogwarts express, with its wooden frames. We were a little hungover from the evening before so dropped to sleep quite quickly, not realising that they wake everyone up after an hour to go through passport control (we probably should have realised that this would happen). I found the rest of the journey ok, but my friend was disturbed a lot by the train constantly stopping and starting, people boarding and alighting. The train which was advertised as arriving in Kuala Lumpar ..  Read the complete review
