When first arriving Kuala Lumpur, many
people would say it's the heaven that they have been dreaming of, possibly by
the new exotic landscape or in a traveling mood. But, I'm quite sure it's the
worst hell for your wallet. Spending in Kuala Lumpur is indeed the ultimate
form of joy that human can have, says my skinny wallet.
#5 Low Yat Plaza

Not to be impertinent, but are you still
using 2G cell phone or CRT TV? You should get a new one here. This is where the
dream of all nerds comes true. It's a 7 story mall dedicated to electronic
gadgets only except for the second basement floor where food stalls are lined
up. Computers, laptops, smartphones, cameras, printers and etc. are offered at
cheap prices at a wide choice of selection. At some places, you can even try
bargaining. Spare some money before your travel! But, be sure check if they
provide international warranty when you buy one.
#4 Berjaya Times Square

Berjaya Times Square is a serious time killer
with lots of things to see and do. It is 18th largest shopping mall in the
world. Food hall? Bowling? That's a joke here. It even has a THEME PARK with a
huge roller coaster. So, you can give your nagging child the best reward
promise while you're shopping. The best part of this shopping mall is
reasonable prices. If you want something stylish, but economical at the same
time, don't forget to visit here.
#3 Mid Valley
Megamall

This massive chunk
would snort at Berjaya Times Square. 18th? Bah! It's ranked 8th having 430
stores in 420,000 sq meter (4.5 million sq ft). It's seriously humongous and you
may need a GPS walking here. One day is nowhere near
enough to choose which clothing stores, restaurants, cafes, digital device
stores are the best for you. Pick first the stores that you want to go by
clicking on here, then do it as on your
plan.
#2 Suria KLCC Mall

Only idiots will have a problem finding
here, I swear. Just look up at the sky and find the tallest twin building in
your eyes (also true in the world). It's right next to it. Suria KLCC is a 6
story gigantic mall with lots of high end fashion boutiques where rich people
go. Inside the building is extremely well-maintained glistening here and there.
There are also classy Asian and Western restaurants and cafes where you can
take a break.
#1 Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Let me describe this shopping mall in one
simple sentence. The development of Bukit Bintang district couldn't be without Pavilion.
Apart from the fact that it offers multifaceted entertainment from the finest
fashion and food to urban experience, what makes Pavilion most outstanding is
that it presents frisky atmosphere with dazzling extensive decorations during
festivals. On the 6th floor, there is a little Japan called "Tokyo
Street" inspired by Japan's Ginza and Shibuya's cityscapes where you can experience
Japanese food, culture and arts. Even if you are not planning to buy anything
here, I strongly recommend visiting here. You can't find a better shopping mall
than Pavilion.

HOT MALAYSIAN WEATHER MORE THAN JUST HOT/ by Joonmo
Written by Gibbon
Born in Korea, he grew up in Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. This young self-appointed ascetic abandoned his university and is currently on his spiritual journey in search of true meaning of life roving from mountains to mountains. His weather-torn and hair-covered appearance reminds of some mystical Bigfoot and he looks 20 years older than he is.
