This really makes me miss the Malaysian night market.
I'm going to KL in 3 weeks. Any do's and don'ts?
Great food at Bukit Bintang at night. Don’t go to the huge restaurants, unless you want to burn money. Stick to the food stalls, you can eat a lot for next to nothing. The food stalls and carts are clean enough. I was there for years and I never got sick (from eating).
As long as you’re in a well lit and crowded place, you can be assured you’re not going to get stabbed or abducted. But keep your money in a place that’s difficult to take it out of.
The monks that go around the market begging for money are not real monks. If you want to donate to a temple, do it at an actual temple.
I don’t know if this is the case anymore, but when business owners give change to a tourist they like to unload any 2 Ringit bills they have because it was something the government did for tourism and the locals don’t like them. If they do, keep one or two of them. They’re out of print and Malaysian bills are beautiful and colorful. But if you don’t want them, they’re also still legal tender everywhere (but you might find a grump that refuses to take them).
(I was in Malaysia when there were 100th Anniversary 100 Ringit bills with a special design and I had a Chinese shop owner accuse me of giving him counterfeit currency. They were real, he just didn’t like them.)
If something irks you, just steer clear of it. There were a few times the hairs on the back of my neck stood up for no reason and I just decided to walk down a different road. Malaysia has a gang problem, but I never had any encounters with them.
Ohhhh yeah. This is the goods. Thank you so much! I shall report :)
Do: have fun.
Don't: involve in any illegal in Malaysia activities.
