Take to the Streets
It won't take you long to realise, despite the heat, this is a city best explored on foot. Walk
and you can catch all the action and save yourself the frustration of becoming entangled in
one of KL's all-too-frequent traffic jams. To tackle this problem, a new mass rapid transit
(MRT) system is under construction. Soaring property values are also causing characterful
old buildings to be torn down and replaced with bland new towers. Such disruptions aside,
parts of KL retain the laid-back ambience and jungle lushness of the
kampung
(village) it
once was.
