Don't Go There! Jalan Petaling (Chinatown) and Central Market

Except to take photos. ;)

KL's Chinatown is situated along Jalan Petaling; to get there, take the LRT to Pasar Seni station, then walk east-wards for 10 min.

However, Chinatown was not what it used to be, and has clearly lost its lustre.
The last time I was here, ~7 years ago, Jalan Petaling was so crowded that one could hardly walk. Now it looked like this (and I should emphasize that this photo was taken on a Sat night):

Nearby is the historical Central Market, which was built in 1888. Not sure what are its peak times, but almost all shops were closed or closing for the day around 8+pm on Sat night.

We ended our day at the Bukit Bintang, where the crowds are at on a Sat night =)

Merry X'mas!

This is Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)!!

KL's budget terminal, officially known as LCCT, is sited 20km away from its (occasional) award-winning KL International Airport (KLIA).

Here's what it looks like:

Arrival

 (At least they have fans!)

(I know this is a budget terminal, but at least keep it safe! look at the dented right leg of the gate frame)

Somehow my photo of the Customs area turn out bright and clean. In person, it felt budgety - grey and the ceiling was visibility dusty.

Taxi

Oops, no photos, just a sidenote - there's a taxi counter just before you exit the airport where you can purchase a taxi ticket - a trip to KL centre will cost ~RM$75.

The taxi stand is a fair distance away (~3 min walk) though. Upon exit, turn left and follow the road all the way till you see lots of taxis hanging around. 

Please note that most taxis are quite old and the aircon is weak --> be prepared for a very warm 1-hour ride :/

Departure 

At the departure hall, we need no reminder that this is a budget terminal =)
It offers very limited shopping and dining options, and yes, it's very warm in there.

(It is warm in here)

(The sunset is nice though)
