KL Smog
If you live in any European city and you think air quality is bad, you have got no idea. I’ve seen some smoggy places before but Kuala Lumpur easily ranks among the most smoggy and pedestrian-unfriendly places in the world. You can hardly see the city’s many skyscrapers (like the famous Petronas towers) because the smog is so thick. And you can really, in fact, not walk around the city because it’s impossible to cross every second street because traffic is so insane. It’s an interesting place but I’m sure glad we didn’t spend more than a day.

smog is kinda heavy if there is no rainfall or wind for few days… however, it is really true and precise about “pedestrian-unfriendly”. And almost three years from your post till now, the situation still same and getting worse.
