Dean's World Cup Diary--Day 40 The Stesen Sentral (Central Station) in Kuala Lumpur is quite impressive—very modern, nicely laid-out, lots of facilities—in fact more reminiscent of an airport than a traditional railway station. I took a taxi to the railway station at Keppel Road, which cost $S6. The station has a nice "olde-worlde" feel to it—it probably hasn't changed much since it was built (though if Singapore gets its hands on it, as is threatened, this will all, unfortunately, change!). www.roguery.com /worldcup/day40.htm
