In the previous post, you could see the modern Kuala Lumpur city, its skyscrapers, overpasses, lush vegetation, in general, everything that catches the eye first. But after all the puppy delights have subsided, you begin to notice other sides of the city, well, or after you are more like it. I will not sign too much, just a lot of photos of Kuala Lumpur.
The peculiarity of Malaysia is that Malays, Chinese and Indians live side by side here, and their cultures are closely intertwined. Therefore, in addition to skyscrapers made 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 here you can get an idea of it.

In Chinetown, too, everything is not European, 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 of famous brands at a bargain price, fake of course. I wrote a little about this here - Our hotel in Kuala Lumpur and Chinatown.
Walking around the city, you can notice such a feature of Kuala Lumpur as rolling trees into tiles under the very trunk. Why is this necessary? After all, the tree is not good either, and it breaks all this beauty sooner or later..

I was very pleased with the advertising of the Internet in Malaysia - they offer 50 megabits! It's just space! We here in Thailand in Chiang Mai barely found a more or less stable channel for 8 megabits and are madly happy, but here as many as 50!
The Internet is high-speed here
In the Malay language, words are often added, apparently added according to the principle of both hearing and writing. The most striking example is Teksi, which is a transcription of the English word Taxi. Also the central bus station is named KL-Sentral, apparently from the English Central.

I have already written about women wrapped in kerchiefs, like real milkmaids. But sometimes there are women well, completely in knightly armor, only the eyes are visible ... Yes, and whole harems can be found.

But not all are such conservative, there are also completely liberated individuals. Here is a living example for you that not all people in Kuala Lumpur are adherents of the Muslim religion..
Liberated individual
Another feature of Malaysia is water supply and sewerage outside buildings. Well, partially, of course. Most often, water meters are found, and almost in front of every door in residential buildings.

Sewer pipes outside the building
With all this, Malaysia is a very developed country. This can be seen not only in buildings, ties and transport, but also in such things as caring for the disabled, for example, the blind. We saw them quite often, but did not dare to photograph them..
Social advertising about the blind
Signs - Attention, blind
Although, of course, it is the modernity of architecture that is most remembered on the first trip to Malaysia. As for the second, I don't know, but everything is still ahead.

In the city center, there are sometimes maps of Kuala Lumpur with the mark You are here, so it is not always possible to get lost..

Here, almost all the photos of Kuala Lumpur that we have, well, in addition to certain attractions of Kuala Lumpur that we also visited. After all, there really is something to see here. By the way, it may be worth sometimes making posts with less text, and with more photos, like this time?
