Locals (Malaysians) refer to Kuala Lumpur as a hectic city.  It is nothing short of their description.  You can find everyone and everything.  You taxi speeds through the city, narrowly missing other cars in order to avoid the traffic.  If you're looking for a destination to shop at, you've arrived at the right city.  Clothes, electronics and food.  What more could you ask for?
