When people talk about Asian cities they talk about landfills, plastic lying all around, streets filled with people, and an incredible amount of air pollution. But this city in southeast Asia is different.

This city is clean. This city is green. This city is modern and incredibly beautiful. And I’m saying that as someone who doesn’t like cities. I’m saying that as someone who would anytime trade city life against a life in the wilderness surrounded by nothing but nature.

“While it may seem small, the ripple effects on small things is extraordinary.” — Matt Bevin

This city impressed me by its high standard of public transport. By its modern society and friendly people. This city made me come back for its lovely charm. In 2019 I visited Kuala Lumpur (short as KL) twice within 30 days while living in Thailand.

Kuala Lumpur. The capital of Malaysia.
