The Kuala Lumpur kaleidoscope


Like much of western Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur has a unique history of varied ruling empires and trading civilizations that each seem to have left remnants of their unique culture melted over the city in layers throughout time. It can be seen in the contrast of modern skyscrapers against the back drop of century’s old architecture in Malaysian, Indian, Dutch and Chinese neighborhoods. We spent a couple of days in KL, exploring museums, mosques, parks and alleyways.

We also headed to the northern suburbs of the city to Batu Caves and climbed the stairs into the Hindu temples housed in the caves themselves. There also just so happened to be really good rock climbing on the north side of the mountain so we took advantage and climbed a couple of days
