Central Market, Museums, Colonial KL



The Central Market in KL is  great place for tourists to pick up souvenirs and eat. 
Also it's indoors and air conditioned.

The Islamic Arts Museum is really great, not just because of what it contains, but because the building it self is great. The national museum was okay too.

Despite KL being a concrete jungle several big old buildings from colonial times remain too stick out among all the highways and modern buildings going up.

Usually it's the fish on the menu, but today my feet
Fish foot spas can be found in Korea but this was my first time to try it at the Central Market in KL

This TV is reading out the Quran but on the screen it is appearing in English on the  left and in Arabic on the right.

5 lines across the map of the world for the 5 daily prayer times. You can see where and when it's pray time  for Muslims anywhere in the world.
