Kuala Lumpur Itinerary

This is the e-mail to my cousin:

I finished this just now.  If we follow it, we can do quite a lot and yet have lots of time to relax and get good sleep.  I included a few good Indian dining experiences, but there will be chances to have even more.  And you can see the last weekend I left it very flexible for us to decide then or do some things on our own.  Batu Caves and observation deck views are musts, imo.  I have already booked the walking tour for Tuesday.
