Kuala Lumpur next

After amazing time in Singapore we wanted to go to Kuala Lumpur. We decided to get there by overnight train. It would be great experience and also you can save money for not booking a hotel. You can book train on website: http://www.ktmb.com.my/, although it never worked for me. The website always showing no trains available, so I e-mailed office and did reservation, all nice and quick. But, once we got to Singapore it turned out they lost our reservation and what was worst there was no train for day we needed. Luckily we found out we can buy bus ticket on the day of departure and also you can purchase vip tickets. Vip tickets means reclining, big chairs and only 4 people including 2 of us in a compartment. Journey takes about 6 hours including crossing border which by the way was quick and easy. Also all the buses are departing from Singapore center, whilst if your travel via train to Kuala Lumpur, you have to get to Woodlands, it takes you about 30 min, then you have to take bus to Woodlands Train Station which takes you another 20 min and then another bus that will take you to Johor Bahru Station and then you get train to your final destination. So lots of hassle, time consuming and very poor customer service.
We have spend 3  nights in Kuala Lumpur wich is more then enough. Below few pictures from places we have seen and been to.

That's what happen when you drank and you trying to take picture ( as you can guess it is Kuala Lumpur at night )


KLCC




Petronas Towers
The scary part about Petronas Towers is the Skybridge, a double decker connecting both Towers, located on the 41 and 42 floor. The Bridge is not attached to the structure but instead is designed to slide in and out to prevent it from breaking, which in my case I could see it and feel it. My husband said to me that suddenly my face became very pale and I just couldn't move. Before you get here you have to buy ticket and book time to entry Petronas Tower Sky Bridge. And tickets are limited to about 1000 a day. But really worth it. In our ticket we have included entry to the 86 floor which was amazing and seemed more safe  to me, lol.

Batu Caves










Orchid garden





Bird Park








Butterfly park



Sultan Palace

National Mosque

And of course shopping

I always recommend to visit Kuala Lumpur, but it wasn't one of my favorites place. I didn't feel safe there, also cousin with Arabic and Indian influence which is not my taste at all. Kuala Lumpur is also very cheap place to be so other then plane ticket you won't spend to much money. Good place for shopping, lots of restaurants but alcohol very expensive. So much to see and to do, Kuala Lumpur  was on my must see list for long time, it seemed to me like a dream. And as you can see dreams do come true, when you believe and work hard to it :)
