In two days, I spent 410 MYR (excluding the shopping) rounding out to about £38 a day. Because I am now travelling alone I thought things would get more expensive, but I managed to still share meals with friends, stay in a hostel but I still probably spent more because I was with others, doing things (like drinking!).

I felt like I didn't have enough time in KL - which I wasn't expecting, it was a really nice city with lots of different things to do. My hostel (Sunshine Bedz KL) was fantastic, it was a great and very accommodating place to stay, with a great social aspect to it. I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm but all rooms looked very nice and no one complained!

Sky Bar was definitely my highlight, it was such a cool place with the view of the Petronas Towers that was totally unbeatable. The massage at Thai Odyssey was only because I ended up being super early to the airport, but I didn't rate it at all - the woman kept calling me Sir, and when I tried to explain that that wasn't correct, the language barrier got in the way. 

But I loved everything else I did here - KL I miss you already, boarding a plane for Langkawi now.
