I spent some weeks their and in the villages local people are curious and they stared at tourists. Kula Lumpur is different. Nobody cares
Haha, yeah.

I guess I'll come clean then. I'm not actually staying in the city, Kuala Lumpur. Which instantly means that no matter what country you're in youll get more attention. BUT I have visited KL several times, and I'm only staying about 1 hour outside the city... but still, somewhere where tourists don't ever go.

But still, even outside Tokyo I never noticed any stares at all. The closest I came to one was on a train down in Kanagawa, where a young girl (like 7 years old or so) looked at me for a second when I sat in the seat next to her lol
