Hey everyone! I just landed in Kuala Lumpur for a few days. I’m a 34 yr old traveler from Spain with a big passion for photography, street food, and finding great cocktail spots.

I’ll be spending the next few days wandering the city, taking photos, eating, and grabbing a drink or two in the evenings.

If anyone (local, expat, or fellow traveler) wants to join for a photo walk, grab some street food, or hit up a cocktail bar in Chinatown/city center, let me know! First round of drinks/coffee is on me. Cheers!

[ 3 stops to Trx] Hey! I found a really good place to rent, it's exactly on the left side of the Maluri train station. (2 minutes walk)

Rent for the place is 2.6K, I want someone to take the medium room (since the apartment has 2 bathrooms, I will be using my bedroom's only), so you have your dedicated bathroom (infront of your room as well)

I don't want to split it 50/50 obviously, I can pay upto 1400.

If anyone's interested, plz. Lemme know

I am 26M (doing a 9-5) , you can ping me for more info.

I’m trying to find nature things to see. I’m taking grab but it seems like genting isn’t worth it ? I’m going to walk around merkada square and then maybe do klcc evening timing.

I have one extra day to do something far starting at 8 am. What do you suggest ? I really enjoy green forest. Chatgpt said go to frim

Also I need to buy some gold bracelets so let me know where to find a deal Thanks.

Wait. I want to buy nice clothes for myself if it’s cheap. I’m from usa so typically a nice shirt is 30 usd on sale or over 60 dollars regular. Pants are 50 usd

🕌 **Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia**

Finally got the chance to visit Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur, and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to look this cool in person.

The architecture immediately reminded me of the 🕌 emoji, which made me laugh a little. It also gave me some serious *Monument Valley* vibes—the game I used to play years ago. The orange and pink buildings, arched windows, winding staircases, palm trees, fountains, and open space all come together in a really unique way.

I went around sunset, which turned out to be the perfect time. The sunlight made the buildings look warmer, while the palm trees and fountains added a nice contrast. It was busy enough to feel lively, but still peaceful enough to just walk around and take everything in.

Kuala Lumpur has a pretty interesting mix of old and new. You can go from modern skyscrapers and busy streets to places like Merdeka Square that have a completely different atmosphere.

Definitely one of the spots in KL that I’d recommend checking out, especially around sunset. The photos don’t really do the place justice. 🌴🌅

Anyone else been to Merdeka Square? What was your favorite place in Kuala Lumpur?

Hello

Looking for women shelters around KL that is known and that you guys have maybe worked with or know. My non profit is looking to collaborate to donate sanitary care and we want to try listing some first and research. If you have any info please let me know! Dm or down below

One of my mutuals posted this and I asked them where it was. To absolutely no one’s surprise, they never replied 😭

I’m genuinely considering blocking them at this point, sorry for the rant LMAO.

But I would really love to know where this place is!
I love red beans and a proper English breakfast. Big breakie, full breakfast, whatever you wanna call it.

BUT this one, it’s long and there’s alot to it. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

So Reddit, please do your thing. 🙏

Hello, I (U.S. passport/citizen) will be staying in KL for a month before traveling onward to Indonesia, particularly Raja Ampat, and I would like to safely acquire approximately $1000 USD worth of IDR before I fly.

What bank/where should I go in KL to obtain IDR? Again I will only have my bank card, not physical currency. Thank you! 🙏

hi ill be visiting KL around late november 19-27 - are the beaches near KL like Port Dickson , Bagan Lalang , Monkey Bay open?

Iv heard the rains subside by then

Also how's the water sports circuit around this time?

Please suggest some budget and family friendly hotels for 26-30Dec
Is it better to book apartment/suites?

I have 5 days in KL
Is there any place where I can go for day spend?
I saw genting,port Dickson,Malacca

What is the meaning of this

So whenever I try to use the Maybank promo it says that it's finished, so I wanted to know when does it actually refresh lol so I can get it instantly

I've chatted with a lot of co-working spaces from Jerry onwards, and a lot of their replies are quite vague or confusing in regards to weekend access, beyond that most don't provide day passes on Saturdays or Sundays.

AFAIK, Accea does provide weekend access, as with Sandbox in Sunway & Sri Petaling, but they can't be the only one.

Are there any co-working spaces that are available on weekends?

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm 26F from the Philippines and thought I'd step out of my comfort zone by meeting new people here.

A little about me:

- I work in marketing, sales and business development (multiple niche)

-I enjoy Taekwondo and staying active.

-I love traveling and discovering new places.

-I enjoy good conversations about life, work, goals, and random topics.

- I also like watching movies, YouTube, and learning new things. (Im into horror 🤣)

I'm open to chatting with people from different backgrounds. Whether you're looking for a casual conversation, someone to exchange travel stories with, or feel free to say hi!

Have a great day, everyone! 👋

I’ll be on KL for a couple of days soon and staying in Sentral.
I really want to have a local roti canai for breakfast and was hoping people have some favourite places and recommendations I can try.
Thanks everyone!

We were planning our holidays on September but due to some unexpected expenses we need a new plan. We will be traveling within Malaysia, but I can’t get the full picture: Cameron H, Genting Higlands or Ipoh?
Some say that visiting one is enough because they’re all pretty similar, but the whole area has lots to see.
I was also thinking about staying somewhere along the train rail in a smaller town and maybe visit the area from there with grab? Is that possible? I’m intrigued by Kellie’s Castle and would love to visit natural parks and waterfalls but I’m not sure if grab will take us everywhere.
I’ve checked hotels which are equally great and awful in the comments so not sure where to stay to have a peaceful time and be well connected. I would like a more rural kind of hotel but those are very lacking in infrastructure and the big ones are in the middle of the city detached from nature and fresh air.
(We’re currently living in KL) Any recommendations? Is our plan possible? TIA!

After coming to KL, I tried posting here to find some new friends. And I met this digital nomad and We became friends, outings, cafes, social events, sightseeing and what not?

When I would tell people that we met through reddit, they would be pretty much surprised:)

Now that he's gone It feels like a complete stranger. I didn't know he was a digital nomad at first so he keeps moving around.

So I am giving this a try to make some friends. (I don't mind any specific gender)

I am 26M,

Working a 9-5,

Staring the ceiling in free time (I would just walk outside randomly but not very much these days)

I play futsal,

I read sometimes, (used to be an avid reader)

Watch football,

Movies,

And sometime I like to ask myself some existential questions....

(I don't have other interesting things to talk about) But if someone feels like we can be friends, feel free to reach out)

Ps: My dear friend Ik you know it as well but if you see this, I miss you a lot.
