We suddenly found ourselves surrounded by skyscrapers and non-stop traffic, in the fast paced city of Kuala Lumpur. Despite this, we never seemed to be far from a park or avenue of trees in this city that remains one of the greenest in South East Asia.

Navigating by street signs proved fruitless with many confusing discontinuous streets. Following major landmarks and pedestrian signs was more successful. We explored the inner city on foot, passing some of Malaysia's iconic landmarks.

We stayed right in the heart of China Town (around the corner from the famous Central Market), where daily life included a vibrant mix of culture, cuisine and cheap brand rip-offs!

Our stay coincided with Malaysia's 50 years of Independence. In the weekend evenings we caught the train to the Petronas Towers and joined the crowds in celebrating.
