Kuala Lumpur
Eat down Jalan Alor after dark
A street that is a car park by day and a two hundred metre kitchen by night, with the tables of a dozen kitchens mixed together on the road so nobody is sure whose chair they are in. Order from more than one and let them sort it out. Photograph the street with the lights on.
Climb the 272 steps at Batu Caves
A limestone cave with a Hindu temple inside it, reached by two hundred and seventy-two steps that were repainted in bands of colour a few years ago, under a gold statue forty-two metres high. Macaques work the staircase and will take anything loose in your hand. Photograph the steps from the bottom.

Try it with sambal and fried anchovies at a roadside stall and photograph it.
