Kuala Lumpur: a melting pot of cultures
Often overshadowed by its more sparkly cousin and neighbour Kuala Lumpur, the city deserves so much love and attention. And I say this with the confidence of a long-time resident who has discovered and fallen in love with its gentle, generous soul. Kuala Lumpur, or KL as it is more popularly known, embraces different faiths and flavours with grace, and this multicultural vibe is what makes the city stand out among other megapolises in southeast Asia. The welcoming spirit extends to visitors, who are always greeted and treated with the utmost courtesy and friendliness. If you can, time your visit around a festival. Which festival, you ask? Any festival really – from the Chinese lunar new year early on in the year to Christmas in December, via a winding path of Ramadan (or Hari Raya, as it is called here) and Deepavali (the Indian Hindu festival of lights), the city loves to celebrate. Whatever your interests, KL has something for you
