Bukit Bintang reminds me of my beloved summer...

Monday was public holiday, so it's a day to walk around. I met up with my bro for lunch at Lot 10... there's a 'cha chan teng' feeling at the food court of Lot 10. We've not met for a long time in about 3 months already, although we're not that far from each other.

The "Shibuya" of KL...

A few years ago during the first time I stepped onto this place around Bukit Bintang, this place reminded me a little of Shibuya (a district in Tokyo). I've been there during my summer holiday visit at grand-aunt's in Japan (my paternal grandmother's youngest sister) in '05. I remember going there by densha from Tama Plaza station in Yokohama, and if I remember correctly, took about 30 minutes. I thought I was just being sentimental for thinking too much of the 'surprise holiday'.

Later on, I read somewhere that this particular place here in KL was indeed inspired by the street design of Shibuya. Oh, no wonder. To me, this place looks more beautiful during night time when the streets and signboards are brightly-lit. Here's another view, facing the monorail track.

This is near outside Lot 10:

In conjunction with Chinese New Year that's around the corner, there were a few Chinese cultural shows in Sg Wang to entertain its patrons.

Sg Wang was very crowded, so we walked to Pavilion for a drink.

"Hanami" (flower-watching) in KL? ;P

Cherry blossom decoration at Pavilion... though we actually don't have the plant here in our country. Looks pretty real isn't it?
