Why everyone should visit Kuala Lumpur by Guest Blogger Marta Valez










Why everyone
should visit Kuala Lumpur Hello! My name is Marta and I came to Kuala Lumpur from
Europe a few months ago. I have to confess I never taught about Malaysia as I
place where I would live… or even visit.
Honestly in Europe the information we have about
the country is really low and even though I did my research before deciding to
come here I never knew exactly what to expect.
Can you believe that when I showed my friends the skyline of Kuala
Lumpur, with all the skyscrapers, they couldnt believe it? I am not saying
that everyone has this perception but a lot of people associate Malaysia with
this image of an exotic country, a paradise beach with wood houses and not much
more. Well my friends, I have to say that Kuala Lumpur and
Malaysia are much more than that (and you bet that one by one Ill make sure to
tell this to everyone that I can). For
me Kuala Lumpur was nothing else than a pleasant surprise: a place where the
west meets the east, the big skyscrapers meet the busy and sometimes confusing
Asia. My reasons to say everyone coming to Asia should stop by
Kuala Lumpur and local people should (because sometimes they dont) appreciate
more what they have? The food, the people, the weather (although thats
arguable), the landscapes and the rooftops.I never travelled everywhere but I can imagine that here it
is possible to find something from everywhere. Big buildings with amazing
rooftop bars, trendy restaurants and the coolest clubs: I have to say I dont
miss Europe Social Life that much; Paradise islands one/two hours and a few
bucks away; amazing places to shop, from all the expensive brands to the
bargaining in Chinatown;
amazing food: a mix of indian, Indonesia, chinese, thai and so forth (the
hardest part is to choose) I can only strongly advice everyone to try the
NasiLemak in the banana leaf (the most typical from Malay cuisine, composed by
rice boiled in coconut milk, peanuts, anchovies, egg and cucumber and it can be
accompanied by chicken or fish) and the Naan, that is nothing more than indian
bread, but it is on my top 3 favorite things here (and we cannot get it like
this n Europe).Obviously I miss things from back home: Stupid things like having for seasons,
expressos (Italian coffee), good football matches (ahaha); but I have to
confess that Malaysia is a place where I could see myself living. I decided to write about this topic to try to appeal to two
different audiences: to foreign people that dont know much about Malaysia be
sure youll book the next flight and for locals that dont appreciate Malaysia
and KL and they should: do it. Malaysia has a lot to growth and develop, it is
truth! But its really worthy as it is now as well!
