Kuala Lumpur: Chinatown Market

    I don't have the words to clearly describe Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur.  It is so many things.  It assaults your senses.  The smells, sights, and sounds are so overwhelming that it actually gets your heart racing. Then, if  you add in the huge crowds, the heat, the sellers yelling at you non-stop, and the extremely low cost "name-brand"  merchandise that every tourist in town is trying to get their hands on and you have cause for one of two emotions - excitement or frustration - and both are fused with high amounts of adrenaline.   There is uaually a very fine line between the two with the difference being directly correlated to the amount of money we had left in our pockets.
