Walking To The Train Station (LRT)

I looked on the map and saw train icons. It turns out Kuala Lumpur has a skytrain like Bangkok does. Being a smaller city, it is more organized. Instead of long lines going here there, they use a hub and spoke system with a central hub that also connects with other public transport. And, the closest station is only about 4 blocks away (400 meters).

First I head north 2 blocks. I pass over a creek. From the bridge you can see the homes and apartments below. Notice all the cars. It is just like the U.S, unlike Thailand. Notice that the residential streets are wider than in Thailand, more like the U.S. Also, there is plenty of greenery. Bangkok seems to be one giant slab of cement and asphalt. It is definitely about 10 degrees cooler here. I can't wait for Kathmandu, which basically has Orange County weather.

After those 2 blocks I turn west for 2 blocks. These 2 blocks are commercial with stores on both sides. There is a 7 - 11 on the left first block. It was handy because it had an ATM machine and I got some cash. The two big trees are a circle that divides the 2 blocks. Also, on the right, back in the second block, you can see the sign for another 7 - 11. (Can't have too many 7 - 11's!) Also, notice all the cars. You don't see this in Bangkok.

Here is a picture of the circle. The number of cars is growing faster than parking. Double parking is rampant, especially at outdoor restaurants, where can you can see your car when someone needs to leave.

This is the second block, this time from the right side.
