What will life be like in Kuala Lumpur?

Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, is a lively and cosmopolitan city of 1.4 million people. The spectacular Twin Towers, one of the tallest buildings in the world, dominate the skyline. Surrounding the Twin Towers is Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC).

Here you can find beautiful parks and fountains next to KLCC's high quality Suria shopping mall, with its many restaurants and cafes.

KLCC is part of the prestigious Golden Triangle district, the commercial and business heart of the city. It is also famed for its nightlife, and young people fill its many bars, clubs and cafes.

Kuala Lumpur is a multi-racial and multi-cultural city and retains much of its traditional character, despite all the recent development. The historic Chinatown and Little India districts are wonderfully picturesque. Grand buildings of the colonial period surround Merdeka (Independence) Square, which boasts the tallest flagpole in the world. The railway station, dating from 1911, has a fantastic skyline of Moorish-style minarets and arches.

Kuala Lumpur is famed for its wide range of eating opportunities. There are numerous hawker and noodle stalls, offering tasty and inexpensive meals. The city's restaurants cover a great variety of cuisine - Malay, Chinese, Indian, Nyonya, Thai, Japanese, Italian - and many others.

Today Kuala Lumpur is one of South East Asia's leading cities. It has a lot of charm and character - and much to offer as an environment in which to study, learn and enjoy life.
