My collegemate from Korea came over to Malaysia for the past two days. My friend and I took him for dinner and the following day I because his tour guide. But you know in the end, I became a tourist too! The funniest thing happened was my Korean and I were at the Masjid Jamek LRT station. We were heading to the Central market, and he saw a tall flag pole in front of us. It was too glaring so I told him he could always take the photo later. After walking around Central market, we were dead tired and just wanted to rest and I ran out of places to take him around that area. So we just walked aimlessly around that area till I saw a big, new and modern library. This library has come out in the news in 2008, if I'm not mistaken, because it was funded by the KL municipal district but it was gonna close for some time due to insufficient funding. The users of this library gave good reviews of this library which I could not believe. But stepping into the library, I believed what I saw. It is like a library I entered in New Zealand!! Except it has very little books but the place is so comfortable!! But still there are books we can borrow. I'm very impressed. My friend just dropped dead in the sofa. There were computers with internet too.

We were heading out of the library and the flag pole we saw earlier was right in front of us. My friend kept on telling me that we are in front of Merdeka Square. I could not believe it because Merdeka Square sounds so far away from me. It could not be within walking distance from the historical iconic place! So I asked the staff and she told me the exact thing my friend told me earlier. HAHAHAHA. So we went to the flag pole and took some pictures. My friend told me this is the tallest flag pole in the world. My jaw dropped.

Later, I took him to an Indian restaurant to eat. Thankfully he liked the mango lassi.

Woa... there is that kind of a library here in KL? Near the central market, nontheless?

Good to be a tourist in your own country and discover new things eh? The library is very nice, I was a member there for a year but the location is not convenient for me. RM20 to be a member for a year. Can borrow up to 10 books at a time. The library is just next to the Royal Selangor Club. Merdeka Square.
