in terms of shopping and visiting as tourists,
what are the differences between Merdeka 118 vs TRX ?

118 not open for shopping yet. Lol..

You can always check YouTube on the various malls, else do a blindbox open.

TRX is wide, spacious and expensive. same "category" as KLCC but lesser people
Pavilion too many weirdos and dont seem to feel safe / pickpockets etc


for a well-balanced shopping (excluding buying luxuries), try Mid Valley, 1 Utama or IOI City Mall

Can try MyTown too. Quite relax feel and next to MRT and Ikea.

I usually take the express bus between KLIA and KL Sentral. 15 RM by bus. 1 hour if traffic permits and I have time on my hands. There are other combinations of bus, LRT/MRT and KLIA Transit that are cheaper and gets you to your final destination instead of KL Sentral. I also look up the KLIA Ekspres site for discounts which are available from time to time.

for me i am ok to take bus but my gf cannot haha

Use this https://myrapid.com.my/journey-planner/ for KL rail routes and fare.
There is no need to go through KL Sentral for all journeys to KL. I use KLIA Transit to get to TBS and then the Line 4 to get to Hang Tuah for Lalaport and Berjaya Times Square.

TRX reminds me of Suntec mixed with MBS. KLCC mainly for the twin tower shots.

Pavillion gave me headache and anxiety. The crowd is so damn scary and the jam... omg. Waste of time going there. I didn't see too many weirdos but then I did not venture much outside of the mall during my time there lah. KL overall is just too hectic but I might have gone to the all the wrong places. haha

I think my only most memorable place is walking around Kampong Bahru streets where it was so surreal looking over the traditional Malay village housing with coconut trees ,and low rise housing against the backdrop of twin tower. It's a conserved area but you get all the high rise shiny malls in the background and around it, quite an unusual sight.

TRX is more like Jewel though not quite close, it houses Msia first and only Apple store and also link directly to MRT station~

KLCC is older, the food court has wider selection of food stalls, we also watched a movie there~ the highlight is of course the twin towers~

Pavilion highlight is outside the street, Bukit Bintang is bustling, won't loose out to Orchard Rd~
