Transit KL
Kuala Lumpur is a modern industrial city caught up in 20th century technology, buildings, and media. Clutched in a triangle of three cultures: Malay, Indian and Chinese, the city exudes the blending of these cultures in the new versus the old. A Muslim country, Malaysians adhere to strict laws but are, at the same time, a warm and welcoming individuals with an eclectic and diverse culture. KL, as it’s known by the locals, is a highly modern, efficient, and clean city, populated with people from a dizzying array of ethnic backgrounds, living together in relative harmony. With all these cultures from various places comes a variety of religious traditions, ways of living and cuisines that will keep you occupied for days on end.
Beyond of the shopping malls, roads and consumption which are so present in the life of the city, this is a very partial representation of KL. These photos are an attempt to capture the essence of this city felt by a newcomer having only two-days wandering the city.
