Trends in Kuala Lumpur
Thinking of relocating to Kuala Lumpur.
Retired (Asian 55F) here from California. I will be moving and living in KL for the first time; and will make Mont Kiara home. Is there anything I should be aware of to help with my move? I will rely… more
Mont Kiara's a good choice – quite expat-heavy, so you'll find lots of English speakers and familiar conveniences. Be prepared for a bit of a culture shock, even if you're Asian. Things move at a different pace here. Also, getting a local SIM card with a data plan will be much cheaper than relying solely on Grab for navigation. Enjoy the food! You won't regret it.
National Museum's Secret?
I spent three hours at the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur last week, totally engrossed in the Malaysian history exhibits. It was amazing, but I couldn't find anything about the supposed secret tunn… more
Your grandpa's got a good story going there! I've been to the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur loads of times, and never heard a peep about secret tunnels. Sounds like a great family legend though. Maybe he's mixing up the National Museum with some other old building in the area? Plenty of older structures around KL could have hidden passages... or maybe it's just a really good story. If you're serious about finding out, you might try contacting the museum's archives directly – they might have old blueprints or something. Good luck with your treasure hunt!
That's a really good point about him mixing it up with another building! Grandpa's memory isn't what it used to be, to put it mildly. He's always been a bit of a storyteller, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's embellished... a lot. But the way he told it, it sounded so real! I'll definitely look into contacting the archives – thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I'll find something... maybe I'll just find out it's a tall tale. Either way, it's a fun mystery to chase!
