Streets Of Malaysia

If you ask any tourists, what name of the street they most likely know and want to go to? The answer is of course.

Petaling street or China Town as Americans know it.

In this most famous street in Malaysia, you can find almost absolutely everything!
Food, clothes, hand bags, t-shirts, souvenirs, DVDs, luggage, make up, jewelery! You name it, it's there!

This street is located at the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. As you may guess, it is full of tourists.
The stalls are opened mostly at night, and this is when all the tourists or even local come and bargain for things.

The things are cheap, if you ask my opinion.
My favorite things to get there would probably be jeweleries, because they sell antique looking ones (which i love) there!

I also took my foreign friends who visited KL to Petaling Street or PS for short. And they love it! Who doesn't love cheap things and quality ones at it too!

Although PS sounds like a shopping heaven on earth, there are downsides of it.
Like one, pick pockets. I know a friend who was a victim.
And of course, it is packed to the maximum. You have to push your way and weave your way out of the massive crowd of people!

This is shameful to admit, but the hawkers aren't friendly either. They will be to you if you buy their things but if you don't they might cuss you or harass you to buying their stuff. It happened to me a lot of times, so i learned my lesson.
And the environment is not a pretty sight to look at.

All in all, PS is one of a kind. With all the rats running around accompanying you :P
