If it's on your way, well, it's just another city to see, but (for us<\/strong>It's not worth it.
The city itself isn't bad; it's like any other big, chaotic city. However, it is quite dirty, especially around the Batu Caves. That particular area isn't just dirty; it's a veritable garbage dump. We didn't particularly like it either because it's completely geared towards tourism and trying to scam you into buying things to cover up because it's a temple, etc. It's not necessary to cover your head, shoulders, or anything; in fact, everyone was wearing shorts and short sleeves.

A friend who just returned on May 26th has given us some advice...:\u00a0
1st \u2013 Something we didn't notice: all the bathrooms (public or in the hotel rooms) are on two different levels with a step. She had the misfortune of not noticing and sprained her ankle; since then, she's been noticing everyone else and it seems they all have the same thing.
2nd \u2013 They had many problems with credit card acceptance, so it is recommended to bring some cash.
3rd \u2013 If you're going to get a SIM card at the airport, you have two options: the first is when you land, before going through exit security. The advantage is that it's much cheaper and you don't have to wait in any lines; the disadvantage is that if several flights arrive at the security checkpoint, you'll be there for quite a while.
Thanks Ana Luisa for your advice! \ud83d\ude01<\/p>
