After docking at Port Klang, Malaysia, we took a motor coach 60k (40 miles) into Kuala Lampur (aka KL)
A view of some traffic in KL. Streets angling in from the left side. Note the direction of the scooters....left lane travel. MANY scooters in Malaysia due to high cost of fuel. Zipping in and out of traffic. In rural areas, entire families load unto the bike for transportation.
The confluence of two rivers in downtown KL where the original 87 Chinese miners landed and began to mine for tin 150 years ago. Note the white mosque at the triangle marking the location.
Although you do see Toyotas, Mercedes and other brands common to the U.S., the model selection differs. Additionally, other brands such as Proton, are prominant. This little econbox is representative of the size of many of the cars seen on the road.
