If you have two weeks and an Amex card burning a hole in your pocket, this is what I'd recommend. I don't think KL should even be on the list.

kathie is going to change all our minds about K/L upon her return

Kathie Nov 6th, 2004 07:55 PM

I hope so, Bob. I hope to have a hotel to add to my favorites list. I already know I can find great shopping bargains there. KL struck me as rather boring on my previous trips, but I'm hoping to find some hidden gems.

Guenmai Nov 7th, 2004 02:44 PM

Now...now...let's not slam KL too much...yes, it IS a bit boring and yes, I feel it's a bit of a Singapore wanna-be city...but it IS architectually fasinating. Happy Travels!

rhkkmk Nov 8th, 2004 07:59 AM

bill you have excellent tally skills..

BillT Nov 8th, 2004 08:15 AM

I'm a little surprised by Singapore's rank but not Tokyo- Tokyo is just too expensive.

rhkkmk Nov 8th, 2004 08:38 AM

something weird seems to be happening above??? what happened to the interim resulte...the dems and reps must have had extra money left over for tricks...
