KL Sentral train station highlights the economic differences between Malaysia and Thailand. It's a sparkling, clean place, all modern digital timetable boards and metallic corners, and makes poor old Hualampong look in dire need of a spring clean. I enjoyed wandering around KL's Chinatown, which has lots of decent food stalls where you can buy various deep fried delicacies for no money at all as well as sit down and munch on a proper Chinese meal. Little India was also a great experience, with its colourful night markets and vast array of eating options. And of course, the Petronas Towers are a marvellous sight that defines the whole city. Overall, though, I must say I found the city less engaging than Bangkok.
