Kuala Lumpur : 10 Things to Do in 24 Hours
by JOHN KRICH


Introduction
By design or lack of populace, Kuala Lumpur is Asia’s green capital, where monkeys scamper close to skyscrapers and the occasional boa constrictor slithers across six-lane traffic. Centered around a colonial inheritance of ordered landscaping and dominated by palm-lined freeways, K.L. offers room to breathe and to contemplate the meeting of cultures. And meet they do, with Malays, Chinese and Tamils augmented by an annual Arabian and Iranian invasion drawn by shopping and the Islam-lite atmosphere. The automotive merry-go-round can feel too suburban and downtown can seem sterile, but turn a corner and streets burst into exoticism and a riot of night markets. A restive art scene, driven by Malaysians’ ongoing quest for shared identity, gives K.L. further heft.

8. NO BLACK TIE
The expat nightlife strip of Bukit Ceylon features an ever changing selection of venues offering everything from English ale to Cuban mojitos. The scene is small enough that you can table-hop until dawn, but the only place that delivers consistently is No Black Tie, the city’s singular spot for jazz, Brazilian funk, poetry and the occasional dose of Chopin. It’s all presented in wood-paneled sophistication by owner, hostess and pianist Evelyn Hii, K.L.’s leading cultural maven.
