Mr.Becker takes us to a view point someplace in the city where we can see the
KL Tower and the
Petronas Twin Towers. But the drive to this place is no different from the chaos in Bangalore. Mr.Becker finds a parking slot and asks us to go check the view. I quickly jump out of the teksi and take about 2/3 pics. This place makes for a good shot of both the towers in the night.
We hop back into the car and are shown the old railway station and a few other places. By now both of us are equally tired coz of all the walking in Putrajaya. However Mr.Becker insists we go and see
Jalan Masjid India and then get back to the hotel.
Spot the Premier Auto's RIO based on which our Xylo 4x4 is being designed.
We reach
Merdeka square and our beloved guide tells us that the shops around
Jalan Masjid India is the best place to pick up Batik and Sarongs for cheap. Wifey is already smiling in glee and I knew I was in for a long walk again along the by-lanes.
With no choice I get off the teksi and start the daunting task of lugging my bag and accompanying her. It takes an hour before we get back to the teksi and Mr.Becker has no complaints and is waiting for us.
There's a music concert being held at
Merdeka square and nothing worth a visit at this place, apart from India Masjid and some window shopping.
He drops us off at our hotel and the meter reads 121 Ringgits. I pay him an extra 20 ringgits as a sign of my gratitude for the lovely day he gave us and bid our adieus. This is our last evening at KL and tomorrow we take our flight back to Singapore. By about 6pm we step out of the hotel and head to
Low Yat Plaza and one last trip to
Bukit Bintang Plaza.
We pay a quick and last visit to get a glimpse of the Petronas towers, I really dint want to miss it.
By now its 10pm and I remember this hotel that Ashish had mentioned in his travelogue,the same Pakistani restaurant and I decide to check out the place. I simply wanted to see how they reacted to an Indian there. Step in and we are greeted by a young lad who is very courteous. Take our seats and we are told its a buffet and that we gotto choose our food and that we will be charged on what we consume.
I was wondering to myself what kinda buffet is this, wherein there is no fixed price and you pay for what you eat. Who cares, I couldn't resist the temptation to have some beef biriyani with some Malaysian cuisine .The two of us had a sumptuous meal and 2 cans of coke. The total bill was 21 Ringgits, boy that was cheap now. The young lad comes back and asks in Hindi "
sir khana acha thaa" ? I said yeah delicious and we walked out of the place. Its a short walk back from here to our hotel and we crash by 12am or so.
Next morning its again the same fiasco with the teksi drivers for a drop off to KL Sentral. The same old convo
Me : How much for 2 people to KL Sentral ? Teksi : Too much traffic lah give me 25 ringgits.
Ok next teksi,and this goes on for about 4/5 teksi's who pull over.
Me: how much lah to KL Sentral Teksi : 20 Ringgits. Me : Listen I paid only 13 Ringgits when I came here. I will give you 15 Ringitts , wanna come ? Teksi driver : Ok lah come I will drop you.
Great and in 10 mins time we are in KL Sentral. Pick up tickets for the
Aero bus at 8 Ringitt each and in an hours time we are KLIA. En route the bus takes a deviation and is directed thru some road right next to the
Sepang Circuit. I smiled at the very thought of that epic travelogue here on tbhp where we learned
Terima Kasih .
Our flight is on time and bid our final adieu to KL hoping that next year we can visit Langkawi.
Whats a Malaysian travelogue without
terima kasih ![Big Grin](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
? No offense to anyone but every place I saw this I couldn't resist laughing.
That brings us to the end of my travelogue and thanks to everyone for going thru it.
