Just by roaming around the city can take up to a minimum of 1 full day. Then you would go to a place outside the city then just chill. I'm pretty sure outside the city, there are more places you can discover so why not visit it since you're already near the area? Kuala Lumpur for an instance.

You will never have the chance to admire the place - with this kind traveling, I'm pretty sure you will not appreciate the country you're traveling in as you will only be focusing on taking photos very fast without actually admiring the real thing. Isn't it sad that there's this amazing view in front of you and yet you can't simply enjoy it because you might be behind on your itinerary?

What I just want to probably iterate is that traveling is meant to be enjoyed and indulged into. It's a learning experience. Don't go to a place just for the sake of telling everyone you already went there. Traveling isn't a race on whom among travelers already went to certain places.
