>look for a cheap place to stay while visa times reset >insanely cheap from checking out online, lots of places 24/7, train up and down the country, and english spoken >why the fuck does no one talk about this place? I think I saw some people on trv talk about it once >book in KL Holy shit I did not think it possible for something to be less soulless than fucking Seoul. The air sucks, the food portions suck, the weather sucks, the "local transportation" is ass, everyone smells like sewage or curry, you run through things and then it's just "mall mall mall hey did you want to check out that small attraction at the mall?" from anyone you meet. Bars are just awful filled with obvious chinese scammers or old fucks from UK, sometimes passing business people. Try to look online for interesting things, you can blow out KL in like 2.5 weeks of going out, and everyone just says "never run out of things,,," and don't get me started at 5AM singing. Is there any saving grace for this place?

>Is there any saving grace for this place? I hated it and it was the worst place I've ever traveled to outside the US. (Loved Seoul btw)Saving graces for Malaysia are the private healthcare and the rock music. The cons are too many to name. It is broken on a societal level, what you experienced there was only the tip of the iceberg. I stayed there for 3 months and I don't recommend anyone stay there for more than 3 days under any circumstances

I took a job in Pittsburgh expecting to like it based on all the praise it gets. I fucking hated it.

I got memed into visiting Taiwan. It's like visiting a dirty 1980s version of China and Japan but with none of the charm. The food is somehow greasy while lacking any real flavor, which is a rare combination. If you've been anywhere else in Asia, there's not much reason to visit. Plus the people are autistic and act more rules-based than Japan or Singapore but they somehow have the dirtiest, smelliest, grimiest country in all of East Asia.I also visited Seoul but that was because I had a few days and figured why not. It was okay. Boring, but if I was a woman/a fag and liked kpop and fashion it probably would've been great.

Was it just Kuala Lumpur specifically that you guys hated, or did you not like Malaysia in general?

KL still tops the list of the most visited cities in the world, despite being an Asian Houston of decentralized megasprawl traffic. I liked rural Malaysia more. Excellent public transport, hotels for every budget, friendly trustworthy people, lovely rainforest greenery (outside of the palm plantation wastelands). East coast beaches were lovely and didn't feel hyper exploited for tourism like Thailand. Most Malaysia complainers are alcoholic whoremongers upset that they can't indulge in their favorite vices.

>seeing this thread just as I'm planning a Malaysia trip Well then.

I was just looking through some travel guides, and for most major cities in the world, they list a bunch of different things you can see or do. It's mostly pedestrian slop that's overdone, but at least there are options.Then I looked at the Kuala Lumpur guide and it just says to visit the Petronas Towers. Wow, there's that little to do, huh?

it is very dull but you can find some decent indian food cafes and if your stomach is not weak you will be ok.

Malaysia is just family friendly Thailand. Its fine for what it is. Its also okay for the locals to be proud of their country and excited to tell you about it.If you want to be a miserable fuck try somewhere else, because drinking is expensive and the whores are awful.

I got memed into visiting Marseilles by tour guides that forget to mention the city is no longer European.
