Kinda reminded me of Hong Kong for the same reason. Although Hong Kong is a lot more cosmopolitan. A bit more colourful aswell. But the high rise buildings, the humidity - all very similair.

Didn't quite get that vibe off HK, I must say. For me, it was a bit more like the comic MC1, what with its inter-block tunnels, mad lit-up buildings and general oddness.  Not as much as Kuala Lumpur though; which was somewhere between MC1 and Frank Miller's Gotham City.  (Young, good Frank, that is, not present-day, bad Frank.)
