On my last day in Malaysia, after leaving the Petronas Twin Towers with a pack of coconut rice that I bought at the station, I returned to Merdeka Square, where I had first arrived after getting off the plane.
After arriving in Malaysia, I went into "super eater" mode. I started eating five meals a day, including snacks and desserts in between. On my first visit, I couldn't wait to indulge in all the delicious Malaysian cuisine I had been yearning for. Plus, with the current exchange rate, it felt like I was getting a 26% discount. In a moment as good as this, of course, I should indulge and enjoy to the fullest!
Arriving at this long-anticipated World Heritage Site, I felt just as excited as I did on the first day of a journey far from home. During the Age of Exploration, Malacca became a highly contested region in the past due to its strategic location for both trade and military purposes. As a result, it has many cultural influences from colonizers. Among all the cities in Malaysia, Malacca is the place I most want to visit.
On the first day of 2023, I want to achieve new heights and gain a broader view!
Seeing the Lord Murugan statue in front of Batu Caves gives me a feeling of being back to India!
Among the Chinatowns I have seen before, Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur is the liveliest and most diverse.
