See Kuala Lumpur in 10,000 steps

Masjid Jamek in Kuala Lumpur looks resplendent all lit-up at night.

I’m seriously unfit. My job – which requires me to spend at least 40 hours a week glued to a screen – is no help whatsoever. But I try to pretend that I am making some progress in the exercise department by walking as much as I can – 10 minutes here, 3,000 steps there. You know, at the end of the week when I discover I’m healthier than 70% of Subang Jaya, I actually feel quite proud of myself.

So when I heard that the KL Tourism Bureau (KLTB) has a series of free guided walks, and there was a night walk in the mix, I was elated. Usually the walks are either too early for me (wake up at 6am? You’ve got to be kidding!), or too late in the day (when the sun is scorching and ready to wreak havoc on my delicate skin).
