KL
Kuala Lumpur, which means "muddy estuary," started out as a tin mining town. Big, brash, modern, fast-paced, high-tech -- Malaysia's capital might not yet be on par with uber cities like Tokyo or Dubai, but it's definitely a notch or two above neighboring capitals like Manila and Jakarta.

Here's a different sort of hotel-room art -- an empty metal frame on the wall, with a glass tube at the bottom to serve as a small flower vase.
Petronas Towers are the headquarters of the national oil & gas company of the same name. Each day 960 tickets are issued (for about $30 each) for a guided 45-minute tour up to the 86th floor.

As always, I love being able to armchair travel through your blog. I'm curious, why is it so expensive to travel to the 86th floor of Petronas Towers? :-)
ReplyDeleteNot sure why. Some things, like meals, can be really cheap in Kuala Lumpur, why others can be very expensive.
