A city is a place where many people live, work and play in. Kuala Lumpur, or KL, is the biggest city in Malaysia. It is mainly made of concrete and mortar. Some trees are grown to provide greenery and shade but they are few compared to the thousands of buildings that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Life in the City – Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
A city is a place where many people live, work and play in. Kuala Lumpur is the biggest city in Malaysia. To accommodate all these people, skyscrapers and super – highways are built. So K.L. (as it is popularly known) is mainly made of concrete and mortar. Some trees are grown to provide greenery and shade but they are few compared to the thousands of buildings that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Daily Task
For most people working in Kuala Lumpur, the daily task of going to work and coming home from work is a much practiced and tolerated routine. Often the roads are jammed with cars. All it needs is an accident occurring on the roads and the traffic jam will get intolerable. It makes the difference between reaching the office on time or an hour late. Also the heat of the tropical sun does no good for the commuter’s frayed nerves. The more fortunate ones travel in air – conditioned cars while the majority has to make do with squeezing into buses, mini or otherwise, or taxis.

Lunch – Break
Lunch, for most office workers, is a quick one at the most convenient shop or stall near where they work. So, come lunch hour, hordes of workers stream out of their office into the streets. They all have one objective in mind – to fill their empty stomach. So men with ties and without ties head for their favorite eating – stall as quickly as possible, before the food is sold – out. Women in costumes of all sorts likewise do the same thing. The variety of food available, for one thing, is plentiful. The price, however, makes one think about how cheap it is in a small town.

A very informative article giving us a taste of Malaysia without being there. Beautiful pics. some of which reminds me of Petite Coat Lane Market, London and a section close to Lafante Plaza , Washington D. C. But big cities, are wonderful to visit.

Great article! I recognize those twin buildings but I did not know they were in Malaysia or Kuala Lumpur. Must be one of those mega-cities. Learned something today. Glad I checked this out. Thanks for checking out mine by the way. I appreciated the comments.
