Welcome to the board NavyP220.
Nice Intro...
I was in KL last year. I was only there for 3 few days after my trip to Thailand. I haven't a lot of info for you because I was recovering from over 3 weeks of drinking and partying in BKK and Phuket! Which sort of continued when I got to KL...
I did get a look around KL, and I thought it a cool city with lots to do and see... Very different to Thailand that’s for sure... There’s a great mix of cultures there, Native Malay, Chinese & Indian. Its the only Chinatown that I’ve seen that should be called "Indiatown". As you would be aware it’s a Muslim country but a VERY moderate one and it’s very much geared towards western tourists...
I found the people there to be very friendly and helpful and it's definitely a country I would go back to at some stage in the future...
I hope all goes well for you and the wee woman, and sorry I haven't more specific information for you...
Steady as she goes and keep your head down over there (Afghanistan).
