so after having learnt that i have absolutely no plans for the tour in KL - or rather, i had only planned for shopping at berjaya and shopping at chinatown - 00 did research last night till almost 3am and came up with our itinerary for today. that's what you get when you leave itinerary planning to me, with a note that says 'i don't care where we will visit and i won't remember anything anyway'. so here's a map of the area we're at. hotel transit is just opposite plaza rakyat. the current hotel is near pasar seni.
we had breakfast around 9am at the hotel. charcoal bread is refreshing but it would have been better if they had a toaster. the selection wasn't much though.
we then rested till 12 and moved to our new hotel at 5 elements, which is just a less than 10mins walk away, near chinatown. place is definitely not as nice or clean.
headed out and walked to masjid jamek, which is just 1 stop away. no trains this time, i just get lost easily even if it's mrt. =_= so we reached the place which is significant for malaysia's independence, but this clock tower is all there is to see there.
walked a little ahead and you can see the very pretty mosque (not allowed to enter unless you're covered head to toes.... for ladies)
and if you walk past the mosque you're headed for the city gallery + national library upon crossing the road.
to the left is the city gallery we were looking for
and we're here!
i think this place is an absolute must-visit for anyone going to KL. the entrance fee is RM5 but it is usable as cash voucher within the museum! so this is the structure we're at.
there's a mish-mash of artwork past this area.
guess who's on the artwork here too
the main point of the gallery here is actually the lighting display... whhhhoooo
it introduces the state of KL as it is now
and talks of the future plans in the next 5 years
and then lights up all the little buildings there. i believe the lights were all shone on from above and not within the structure itself.
