For the third time, we landed at Kuala Lumpur airport. Already quite familiar with the layout, we were on the shuttle bus to KL Sentral within minutes, which cost 8 ringgit. We had booked the following accommodation for our two nights: Maytower Hotel<\/a> We chose a hotel in the immediate vicinity of Kuala Lumpur's city center. Our room was on the 24th floor of the four-star hotel. We also had access to a pool and even a sauna on the 8th floor. Overall, a very decent hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Times Square Shopping Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We spent our first evening at the Times Square shopping center. Spread across at least ten floors are several hundred small shops, restaurants, and even a theme park with a roller coaster. We tried the food at the Chicken Rice Factory and treated ourselves to a Krispy Kreme donut for dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuala Lumpur Tower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back in the city center, we climbed the 90-meter-high Bukit Nanas, on which the Kuala Lumpur Tower stands. At 421 meters, it is the tallest television tower in Malaysia and the sixth tallest building in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chinatown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we walked to Chinatown. Bodo tried some Asian specialties there, which a local woman had recommended to us on the plane. He enjoyed Nasi Lemak and Roti Chanei. The former is a ball of rice wrapped in a banana leaf with a spicy sauce and a fried egg. The Roti Chanei, which we got from an Indian kiosk, is a type of bread served with a spicy soup.<\/p>\n\n\n

Food in Little India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before flying on to Phuket that evening, we stopped at a restaurant in Little India. There we ordered chicken beryani. Once again, the food was served on a banana leaf. In typical Indian fashion, there was no cutlery, and we had to eat our rice and chicken with our fingers. This way of eating is a bit unusual for me, and I don't find it particularly practical because your hands are sticky afterward \u2013 Bodo didn't seem to have any problems with it.<\/p>\n\n\n
