HOPPING ON AND OFF IN KUALA LUMPUR

Apparently, you have not been to Kuala Lumpur if you have not been to the Petronas Twin Towers, once the tallest buildings in the world and now second to Taipe 101.

So we went upon arrival in the city named after the muddy confluence of two rivers.

In my view, there is not much to see to see in Kuala Lumpur and the best way to reach the "must visit" places is through the interconnected train system if you don't mind long walks, by Grab if you don't mind the cost and the traffic, or buy a 60-ringgit 24-hour ticket for the KL Hop-On Hop-Off Bus that will take you to the 19 "must sees" in the city, which we did.

One complete trip will take at least two hours from [1] Bukit Bintang if you just stay on the bus which we did at the stops for the [2] Swiss Garden (in Malaysia?), [3] Chinatown (been there), [4] Central Market and [5] Little India (later), [6] KL Sentral (will pass through when we got the the airport) before hopping off at the [7] National Museum and the [8] National Palace for a quick tour, the usual photos and an obviously piqued Balong.  

We hopped on another bus, passed through the [9] Bird Park (not interested) and stayed for some time at the [10] National Mosque where the wife was dressed in a purple robe in accordance to Islamic rules, and were treated to a demonstration of the adhan by a volunteer who also shared guidance in properly reading the Quran. 

In another bus, we hopped off at [11] Merdeka Square that we found to be a boring open air stadium.  

The next bus is crowded and apparently, the driver was told not to stop until enough passengers have been unloaded so we breezed through [12] Raja Laut, [13] Palace of Culture (in our list but missed), [14] Intercontinental, [15] Kuala Lumpur City Center (been there), [16] Matic, [17] KL Tower, [18] KL Citywalk, [19] Aquaria and back to Bukit Bintang.

We decided not to hop off until we get seated at the open second deck which we did before Chinatown where got off, had a late lunch, walked to the Central Market, decided to skip Little India, and went back to the hotel through the LRT Kelana Jaya Line.   

And that is our 1-day KL city tour.
