Central Market, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has existed since 1888.
Before, it was a wet market.
I stil can recall my mum used to brought me here
(before central market) when I was very little.
On every Saturday, before my mum starts work
(her office was just next few blocks of the market),
my father and I would accompanied her to the market, doing marketing.

After its conversion into a Cultural Central Market,
it has became a gathering place mainly for local & tourist .
I do not visit here that often now but occasional I do drop by for a stroll.
And that's a happy one.

If you like what you see above,
please feel free to check out the official site of Central Market here.
I hope you will enjoy my sharing as much as I enjoy sharing with you.
Look at the photos. Are you in love with Malaysia?

Love some more details.
Here is a virtual tour of the market.
Be sure, when you plan a trip to Malaysia,
ask for me and I am most glateful to be your friendly tour guide
around in the KLcity neighbourhood!
Cheers!
Yoon See

Are you inlove with Malaysia?

I can't ignore that question. It came across very poetic to me.
I tend to fall inlove with places so I will answer yes! :-)
I love your story behind the pictures!
I'd love to see more pictures of Malaysia :-)

Beautiful pictures, Yoon See... I love them. I've never been to Malaysia. I've only been out of the US once, and that was to go to Finland/Lapland.
If you ever come to New York you will have to visit me!

hugs,
Barbara
