Kuala Lumpur, Capital City Of Malaysia

---

Kuala Lumpur has a population of about 2.5 million people, with 95% Malays and 5% of other ethnic origin, mostly of Chinese and East Indian heritage. We stayed at the Legend Hotel, a 5-star hotel, for a couple of nights and it's a pretty spiffy place. We also happened upon a huge and important political meeting. During a breakfast buffet, Mom and I sat at a table next to one full of Malaysia's top ministers! Me, in my shirt and slacks... and them, in their beautiful and colorful original Malay outfits.

Anyway, there are quite a few things to see in K.L., but it's mostly a wining and dining city. One of my K.L. cousins invited us out to a Middle-Eastern dinner buffet, and not having eaten sushi in two months, I piled my dish full of salmon and red herring all night long when I saw that a sushi bar was included in this buffet. K.L. is most lively at night, when nightclubs and buildings light up the night. I spent four hours at the Petronas Twin Towers waiting for sunset so I could get some great pictures. It was definitely worth the wait.
