Hasta La Vista Kuala Lumpur...

Hi everyone. Hope you all are well as always.  Kuala Lumpur is a Southeast Asian country located directly across from my hometown of North Sumatra. When I flew from Kuala Lumpur to Medan, North Sumatra, it only took about 40 minutes. I even slept briefly, and suddenly the plane had landed at Medan Airport. This trip to Kuala Lumpur was more special than any of my previous ones. I've been to Kuala Lumpur three times. The first time was just for transit and I never left the airport. The second time, I wandered around Kuala Lumpur but didn't explore much, and I never imagined I'd be going to Kuala Lumpur for a third time. This trip was even more special than the last. -------  On this trip, I left Jakarta at night and arrived in Kuala Lumpur early in the morning. While finishing up the rest of my work, I waited for the first bus to Kuala Lumpur to depart. I was half awake because sleeping at Kuala Lumpur Airport isn't as relaxing as at Changi Airport. Hehehe… **Busy City**  Kuala Lumpur is a busy city, but interestingly, the busy streets aren't jammed with motorbikes. Cars move smoothly. At some traffic lights, you'll encounter traffic jams, especially as the afternoon approaches. |  |  | | ----| ---| Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains a neat, clean, orderly, and smoke-free city. Passing through these streets makes me want to linger in Kuala Lumpur. As a pedestrian, I really enjoy using the sidewalks along the streets. **Indian Food & Diwali Festival** |  |  |  | | ---| ---| ---| What's unique about Kuala Lumpur is its diverse population. Besides locals, you'll also find many immigrants from India—particularly from Tamil Nadu. Because of this significant population, the Diwali celebration is also celebrated on a grand scale in Kuala Lumpur. Several malls I visited had numerous Diwali decorations. Everything was colorful. They even made Rangoli decorations at some train stations. It all looked beautiful.  Due to the large Indian diaspora population in Kuala Lumpur, Indian food is ubiquitous. Indian food is one of my favorites, and I'm eager to try it, especially the Masala tea. I'm a huge fan of masala tea. It's delicious.  |  |  | | ----| ---| Another culinary delight I've been wanting to try is Nasi Kandar. It turns out like Nasi Campur (mixed rice). It's like a Tegal stall that sells rice and side dishes separately. However, this Nasi Kandar is truly authentically Indian. Unfortunately, I can't chew properly because of this bracket, so I'm eating this portion.   This third visit to Kuala Lumpur made me want to return and explore every detail of the city. Apparently, there are still many tourist destinations I haven't visited, one of which is the large mosque with its umbrellas, similar to the one in Mecca and Medina. Despite this, I don't have any plans to return this year. Hopefully, I can do so next year. Hasta La Vistaa.... ------- *Thanks in advance, to read my blog and hope you like my post!* *See you on the next post...* ------ ----- [//]:# (!worldmappin 3.13749 lat 101.69050 long d3scr)
