KL is a great city for eating. I binged on Chinese food Friday night, Middle Eastern and Indian on Saturday, and this morning I ate enough dim sum to last me until mid-afternoon. I'm not sure what is on the menu for this evening, but Thai is set for tomorrow night.
In addition to eating, there are lots of sights to see. We went to one of KL's fancy-schmancy shopping malls on Friday and another on Saturday, and we visited the Hindu temples at Batu Caves on Saturday. We've also been to several outdoor markets and to the orchid garden and bird park.
This afternoon after a late lunch, we were checking out the exhibit for the Petronas towers when one of the people who worked there asked if we wanted to go up to the skybridge on the 42nd floor. We hadn't planned to b/c you have to get there early in the morning for tickets, but it just so happened that they had two no-shows. So up we went. The view was very nice even though it was a little cloudy after a rain shower, but the coolest part was being able to see the sides of the towers up close. This evening, if it clears up, we will go to the top of the Menara KL (KL tower) for what are supposed to be great views of the city since you are much higher up and can see the twin towers.
Our hotel is great. After eating so much since arrival, I felt like a fat ass and swam laps this morning for about 30 minutes. I'll swim again tomorrow, and the kilometers of walking we are doing also helps. Although KL is a city of about 3 million, the central part is fairly compact and walkable. There is also a good metro and a more interesting but not as good monorail.
