As we said in our last blog, this is our third visit to the city. Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia and definitely the last time we will be visiting Malaysia during our travels. Luckily our minibus dropped us off slap right bang in the middle of China Town, as the hostel we wanted to stay in was less than a 5 min walk away saving on additional transportation costs.
