Malaysia 4K: Rainy Day Walk Around Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

Video was recorded on February 2023
Location: Petaling Street Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Device: DJI Osmo Pocket
Petaling Street or Jalan Petaling is a bustling shopping district in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. Chinatown is the name given to the original commercial heart of Old Kuala Lumpur. The area surrounds the Jalan Petaling market and is one of the most popular tourist destinations for any visitor to Kuala Lumpur.
The majority of Petaling Street is pedestrianised and covered to keep the sun and rain off. It is lined on both sides with stalls selling souvenirs, bags, shoes, T shirts, pens, watches, fake DVDs, and imitation/pirated branded goods. Selling fake products is of course illegal in Malaysia but these vendors still seem to find ways to remain in business.
Bargaining is a must here. The vendors are professionals and regard the foreign tourist as a walking ATM machine and will try to extract the maximum possible price from you. They will make a judgement on what they can get away with based on your appearance, age, nationality, the clothes you are wearing, any jewellery and the phone you are carrying. If you look like a rich westerner they will adjust their opening price upwards accordingly. So BEWARE!
