So, I'm going to Malaysia for a month in a week.
Does anyone have any tips for streets/shops I should visit to buy cheap stuff?
Or just random stuff you have to see while in Kuala Lumpur.

Enjoy your thinly veiled fundamentalist country. No, seriously. I wouldn't trust a country that has Islam as a State Religion. And this is coming from a Muslim (LOL, paradox). For example, they have a popular hip hop group that found more success in Indonesia because the authorities frown on hip hop.

>hip hop.
ha.

The OP asked for shopping and places of interest, not your political assumptions dumbfuck.
Fundamentalism in Malaysia is mainly lip-service. At least they have the chinks to make sure that they see the joys of liberal ideas.

In any case, the food is cheap, the place is clean, and even if Indonesia listens to hip hop, you are less likely to be blown to smithereens here.

anyway, for nightlife, you can't go wrong visiting Bangsar, they have great bars and restaurants there. If you want to buy cheap electronics, computer parts or pirated junk (I picked up an R4 for my DS there) you can visit Bukit Bintang.

Thanks to Amerikkka. We had the third largest Communist Party in the world before the CIA decided to fund the 1965 coup.

Sukarno would have showed the US how SEA rolled. The US was scared that he would have turned South East Asia into a world power, so they got rid of him as soon as they could.

Unrelated fact: My girlfriends Great Auntie was married to him.

Right, a R4. That's some kind of memory for the DS, right?
What'd cost? .. And dow much would a DS probably cost?

>>32395
Is that for cheap shopping? Doesn't really sound like it.
>one whole month? In Kuala Lumpur?
>aren't you going to visit anywhere else in Malaysia.
Ah, of course not a month in kuala lumpur. We are just going to stay there a few days. After that we're off to some island I think. Beaches and stuff.

for electronics you are better off in lowyat plaza

actually prices there are similar or higher than prices in america(if you are american) anyway otherwise you may be able to get some good deals.
sim lim in singapore just south of the border has a better selection imho
either way, good beachtime would be great

Well then, how about pirated electronics?
Or just random stuff you can't find in europe, but still cheap.

Cheap Electronic-
Low yat or Sungai Way
Cheap Goods- (usually stolen, pirated, smuggled)
Petaling Street or any nearby Pasar Malam "Night Market"
Cheap Hookers-
Chow Kit or further down Bintang Walk
Cheap Nightlife
Bangsar, Bukit Bintang, The Curve,

There... hope this helps.

in terms of hookers, your choice is ugly or uglier...

still Lowyat and Sungei Wang Plaza.
but make sure you bargain bargain bargain.
the prices on display are generally bullshit and used to trick foreigners. Would be helpful if you bring along a local friend. You can shop for souvenirs at Pasar Seni (literally translated as "art market")
Buy a Sarong.

As for the beaches, well the water's clearer (especially those facing the south china sea) than Bali's but personally i prefer the latter's waves. They have better bars in Bali too. But it's a great place to go snorkeling though.
If you have the time, visit the national park in Pahang or Sarawak. The place is beautiful this time of the year, when the monsoon doesn't murk up the rivers.

It's a trip with my family, and girlfriend will come, too. So no need for hookers.

Aw, snap. I suck at negotiating.
>Buy a Sarong.
Why should I do that?

Right, are there any risks?

Thanks, thanks.

Because everyone buys a Sarong.

and you need to bargain. I suck at bargaining, but fortunately I had my indo missus with me, who is great at it, and our Malay friend.

only having the things break before you tear it out from the box you bought it in.
People buy pirated jerseys, caps there most of the times. try to avoid anything electronic or mechanical.
You can buy DVDs there. but i dunno. haven't bought a single one since torrents came along.

Right then, what about rare stuff?

And places to see. This is a family trip after all.
>> Anonymous
>>32884

if you're into rare stuff, try out the durian. You can buy one in Bangsar for a good price. Also, food is probably the best thing to buy since you can get Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western food. If its you're first time, i'd recommend Satay, Wantan Mee or Tandoori.

>>32792
also, bargaining is a good idea. In petaling Street, what ever price they offer to you make sure you offer HALF that. Majority of the traders there arent local and they usually will try to overcharge you. On the other hand, you can find stuff that you wont find elsewhere. You can get DVDs for RM10 or close to $4 dollars.

Also, if you want to bring the family along, i recommend The Curve in Damansara. it's not on the tour map but it is a good place to bring the family.

there hope this helps.
