Merdeka Malaysia!

Here we are looking for our couple pose in one of the most photographed landmarks of the city.

[Malaysia-Singapore Trip]
My hubby-to-be being the good navigator that he is, found this place in no time. We just walked by the way. It was easier not to get lost when you walk. Tiring yes, but definitely worth the adventure.
The Kuala Lumpur City Gallery was centrally located and was housed in a very beautiful building.
Inside was a traveler's haven. There were maps, memorabilia and tours available for those who want to explore the great city. We opted to enjoy the short tour of Malaysia's history presented inside for free . It was very fascinating!
All that walking, touring and getting lost made us really hungry. I never intended to eat here but this is where our feet lead us-- an authentic Indian restaurant with all the spices in the world! The look on my face says it all. I'm a fan of spicy food but I was never prepared for this one. The food looks promising and really appetizing. I will give it another try next time.
Our next stop was Merdeka Square. In our short history tour earlier, we learned that "Merdeka" means Freedom. And it was what the people fought during the British colony.
And this historical Merdeka Square is a beauty. The buildings are carefully designed and very well preserved. We spent the rest of our afternoon here with our DIY prenup photo session. 
Afterwards, we grabbed some BR icecream to console our weary selves.
Aaaand maybe we did a little more consoling after that. (wink wink).
Also, as we promised to each other, we went back to the Petronas Towers during daytime just so we won't forget how wonderful it is.
More couple shots here and there. 

We also wanted to visit this famous Masjid Jamek Mosque but it was closed to tourists during our visit. So we just looked at its marvelous architecture from afar.
  That's us in China Town and in their Central Market. We also discovered what shop-houses are. First floor is for business (shops) while the second floor is where they sleep.
This was near a Metro station in Kuala Lumpur. Their wall art caught our attention just before we went back to our accommodation to fetch our things.... so we can leave for....... SINGAPORE!!!! Coming up next...
