Places to see on transit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Part 2

Hey travellers,

On the part 2 of our transit through KL, we spent the night at a transit hotel called Concord Inn.
Then the next day, we again set out to KL Sentral to explore the city.

We had a few places in our mind, the Merdeka square, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Central Market, KLCC Aquaria.

So, we took a LRT from KL Sentral. Most of these tourist spots are located just near the next LRT stop - Pasar Seni.

It was amazing architecture and a beautiful view at Merdeka square.

We visited the Central Market after that which is just a few blocks away from here. It is buzzing with local shopping and food options.

Other places we could have visited -

KLCC Aquaria - This is near Petronas tower and we could have visited this if we had spent a little more time in KLCC.

Batu Caves - This is a Hindu temple and a great attraction for many.

Bahasa  Malay (Malaysian Language)

Some useful words though most people can understand English there -

Hello.
    Hello/Hi. (Hello/Hi)
Please.
    Sila. (SEE-luh)
Please. (request)
    Tolong. (TOH-long)
Thank you.
    Terima kasih. (TREE-muh KAH-seh)
You're welcome.
    Sama-sama. (SAH-muh SAH-muh)
Yes.
    Ya. (YUH)
No.
    Tidak. (TEE-dah[glottal stop]) or tee-DAH[glottal stop], Tak (TAH[glottal stop])
Excuse me. (begging pardon)
    Maaf. (mah'AHF)
I'm sorry.
    Maafkan saya. (mah'AHF-kahn SAH-yuh)
Goodbye
    Selamat tinggal. (SLAH-maht tin-GAHL), Selamat jalan (SLAH-maht JAH-lahn)
Usage note: "Selamat tinggal" means "Safe stay," while "Selamat jalan" means "Safe Trip," so whoever is leaving uses the former expression and whoever is staying replies with the latter expression.
A sign that you will see everywhere - 
 
KELUAR 
Exit
