I walk everyday in KL when I'm in town and once I walked from Bukit Bintang to the Great Eastern Mall (not impressed) and returned on Ampang Hilir and saw all the embassies. I tried to take a pic of the US Embassy and guards ran out and yelled "No Pictures". Oh well! 🤣 Once I walked from Bukit Bintang to Bangsar. And another time to Mid Valley mall. My friend traveled with me once to KL and I took him walking in the heat/humidity and now he won't travel with me anymore.🤣 I walk a lot of miles because when in KL I'm always eating! The food is so good. Happy 70th Taylor!!

I know those routes and I used to walk when it's cloudy or drizzling. The embassy rows walking under the big trees was a pleasant experience.

Thanks, Taylor. I am so glad you've discovered Desa ParkCity and especially the dogs and dog people at the Arkadia Plaza shopping center. On my first visit there several years ago, I decided ParkCity would be my location when I finally have MM2H status. Not only is it well planned, but if one is active, there are so many walking/running paths and bike lanes and pools. I can't wait. BTW, there have been rumblings within the government in the last few days about MM2H, finally. That will be a great video for you to do, perhaps with one of the local agents (agents will be required) to highlight the new, easier (I hope!) processes for expatriates to get their residency visas.

Yes, short stay accom can be an issue. I been in KLCC 2 yers now and some guests would rent one bedroom then have 5 + staying there. Also handing out the key cards so outsiders can use pool gym etc. The body corp has clamped down on this and all guest need to be registered and photo ID. Has improved the living. Some great places and info, now got me looking if KLCC is best for me. Have great birthday, no dancing on tables or any thing silly now.

Taylor saved the best for last. Desa Parkcity is usually the last township to be discovered by expats who have lived in KL for some time. It doesn’t feel crowded. Lauded for its premium homes and liveability. A short driving distance to Mutiara Damansara and Bandar Utama where it host many big malls e.g. Aeon Mall, Ikea, IPC (Ikano Power Centre) and The Curve. Far from the CBD but with highways, it is a short journey to the city.

Good range and overview with options abundant. Bangsar should be added as a prime expat neighbourhood of course, but like you said the list goes on and on.

All on one floor, one minute walk to Suria KLCC, we found our spot and will stay here for as long as we can😊 Have a good weekend!

Sounds like a lot of work organizing something like that, but you are such a showman, I bet it would be a huge success.
