In the previous post you could see modern kuala lumpur city, its skyscrapers, flyovers, violentvegetation, in general, all that catches the eye first. But after all the puppy delights subside, you start to notice other sides of the city, well, or after you walk along it more. I especially will not sign, just a lot of photos of Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia's specialties are side by sidelive Malays, Chinese and Indians, and their cultures are closely intertwined. Therefore, in addition to the skyscrapers of glass and concrete, there is dirt and dilapidated buildings. Although such things are most noticeable in the Indian quarter (Little India). If you have never been to India, then apparently you can get an idea about it.

In Chinatown (Chinetown), everything is also notEuropean clean and tidy. But on the other hand, there are the cheapest hotels in Kuala Lumpur and the Chinese market, where you can buy a bunch of different things from famous brands, at a bargain price, of course, fake ones. I wrote a little about it here - Our hotel in Kuala Lumpur and Chinatown.
Walking around the city you can see such a feature of Kuala Lumpur, as rolling trees into tiles at the very trunk. Why is this necessary? After all, the tree is not good, and it breaks all this beauty sooner or later.

I was very pleased with Internet advertising inMalaysia - 50 megabits offer! This cosmos is easy! We here in Thailand in Chiang Mai barely found a more or less stable channel for 8 megabits and we are happy to be mad, but here we have as many as 50!
Internet here is high-speed
In the language of Malays, words are often foundadded apparently by the principle of how to hear and write. The most vivid example is Teksi, which is a transcript of the English word Taxi. Also, the central bus station is named KL-Sentral, apparently from the English Central.

About the women, wrapped in kerchiefs, as a real milkmaid, I already wrote. But sometimes there are women quite well in knightly armor, only eyes and you can see ... Yes, and whole harems can be found.

But not all are so conservative, there are also completely liberated personalities. Here is a living example that not all people in Kuala Lumpur are adherents of the Muslim religion.
Liberated individual
Another feature of Malaysia is water supply and sanitation outside buildings. Well, partly, of course. Most often water meters are found, and almost in front of each door in residential buildings.
Water meters along sidewalks
Sewage pipes outside the building
With all this, Malaysia is a very developed country. This is evident not only in buildings, ties and transport, but also in such things as caring for people with disabilities, such as the blind. We saw them often enough, but did not dare to take a picture.
Social advertising about the blind
Signs - Attention, Blind
Although, of course, it is the modern architecture that is most remembered on the first trip to Malaysia. As in the second I do not know, but still ahead.

In the city center sometimes there are maps of Kuala Lumpur with the mark You are here, so getting lost will not always work.

Here, almost all the photos of Kuala Lumpur, which we havethere is, well, apart from some of the attractions of Kuala Lumpur that we also visited. After all, there really is something to see. By the way, maybe it is worth sometimes posts with a smaller amount of text to do, and with more photos, like this time?
Life hacking 1 - how to buy a good insurance
Choosing insurance is now unrealistically difficult, so to help all travelers, I compile a rating. To do this, I constantly monitor forums, study insurance contracts and use insurance by myself.
Life hacking 2 - how to find a hotel 20% cheaper
First, choose a hotel on Booking. They have a good offer base, but the prices are NOT the best! The same hotel can often be found 20% cheaper in other systems through the RoomGuru service.
