Kuala Lumpur has grown with bewildering speed since the tin mining days; a growth that took on epic proportions after independence and particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as the 'Asian Tiger' economy propelled an ever-changing skyline. The speed of change has left old Chinese houses and faded colonial mansions idling beside huge gleaming glass and steel towers, while food hawkers and traditional fortune tellers share the streets with bustling businessmen and guidebook toting tourists. One of the most admirable aspects of the city is the level of tolerance displayed by its cosmopolitan residents, with ethnic Malays, Chinese, Indians and Europeans all living and working together.One constant in Kuala Lumpur is the climate, with consistently warm daytime temperatures, balmy evenings and afternoons that are often punctuated by thunderstorms, usually passing quickly to leave the evenings cool and rain free.
