{MALAYSIA} Visiting Kuala Lumpur

We get these questions a lot from friends who are visiting Malaysia... where should we stay? what should we do? what should we eat? Here are some of our suggestions.


LANGUAGE, MONEY, TIPPING
Kuala Lumpur a.k.a. KL is the capital city of Malaysia. Most people in Malaysia speak English, Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese. As long as you can speak one of the above languages, you'll be fine.

Credit cards are widely used in shopping malls. However, you'll need to have cash for cabs, mamak stalls and smaller stores. So make sure you carry some cash with you. If you didn't exchange money before arriving to Malaysia, you can always get cash from ATM machines.
