A top-level competition in an equally top class venue. Kuala Lumpur is yet again set to thrill all visitors. The FEI World Cup Final 2006 is no ordinary event. And with 5days of intense show jumping competitions right here in the city, you can expert nothing less than an extraordinary experience.

The annual Fete De La Musique is an international affair. Which explains why the modern city of KL is one of the venues. It’s well worth a peek into, in fact, you won’t want to leave. It’s a big concert, out in the streets and under the bright light of a city that doesn’t sleep.

See Broadway theatre the way KL-its see it. And other modern and cultural sensations as part of an exhaustive performing arts program. The best way to imagine it is to imagine KL as the largest theatre you’ve seen. And all you do is walk into one auditorium after another to catch one engaging performance after another. Hope to bump into you at the intermissions.

Horticulture is hot. Especially here in KL. It’s a sense awakening thing. You’ll be surrounded by spectacular colours and simply therapeutic scents. And of course, even if you’re not a green thumb yourself, you’ll still go green with admiration. Some of the landscaping ideas can be pretty extraordinary.

If you took all the colours in the world, and you bring it to one place, you’ll see them at CItrawarna. All the coulours of Malaysia will be on proud display in the form of arts, culture and traditions that have been handed down for generations. Yes, it’s a song and dance thing. With hundreds of performers all across Malaysia.

Here’s something for the “fruits” and “foods”. Exotic local fruits will be everywhere, together with many of Malaysia’s favorite foods and dishes. This is definitely more than just a gastronomic event. In KL, eating out is a social event. Hungry, anyone?

What’s travel without shopping? In this regard, KL doesn’t disappoint. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to exercise restraint. Choices are seriously unlimited, and the prices will never damage your wallets. The street bazaars are brightly lit with bargains, and the huge, modern malls offer a myriad of must-haves. We just hope you actually brought with you an empty suitcase.

Take a deep breath, and take a stroll in the city this August. You will see lots of happenings. The colourful and tantalizing display of traditional food and lifestyle, fashion shows, all the way to cultural performances in the streets. While you’re all charged to capture the excitement, make sure your camera batteries are charged up too.

It’ll be the Nation’s 49^th birthday this year. And KL, like always, comes most alive with parades, pyrotechnics and parties. Everyone is most welcome to join in, so get there before the clock strikes midnight.

It’s a wonderful way to see and experience the spirit of fasting in the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan. Rows and rows of open-air stalls serve sought-after delicacies for the breaking of fast, and mind you, some of these delicacies are only available during this time. So don’t miss out.

This event has firmly established KL as a world-class gourmet-dining destination. This year, the festival sets to tantalize even more with more of the city’s finest restaurants participating, along with appearances of celebrity chefs and other fringe events. The who’s who in KL will of course be there, so here’s a scene in which to showcase your social grace.

The Magic of Malaysia is that all races get together to celebrate the individual ethnic festivity. This year, the Muslim celebration of Eid comes together with the Hindu celebration of Diwali. Our KL Open House will mark these special days, and all guests are warmly welcomes to join in the feasting.

The KL Fashion Week promises glitter and glamour, not to mention, the giddying heights of high fashion. The scene is fabulous, even for the seasoned fashion Juggernaut. Come and see it for yourself. Brace and be dazzled.

Pen this month down in your travel itinerary. KL will be busting with bargains not to be found anywhere else. Take your time to wander around in search of precious collectibles and mementoes. It’s a full month of shopping mania, and the many, many things on sale will tempt even the most seasoned shopper.

There’ll be something extra special about this year’s New Year’s Eve celebration in KL; you’ll get a sneak preview of the not-to-be-missed attractions for the coming Visit Malaysia Year 2007. And with all the end-of-year parties KL-style at every corner you turn, you’ll be happy to extend your stay and be among the first to visit Malaysia in the New Year.
