(The famous Petronas Towers, don't see the rope used in the Sean Connery/Catherine Zeta-Jones movie ENTRAPMENT).
(Posing while Malaysian ladies laughed at me in front of the Petronas Towers and Lake Titiwangsa, a mosque at sunset).
I'm not sure why, but Dave has decided to defy everyone else in this city and call KL, " The Lump". No one else thinks it's that funny.
Dave and I left Cameron Highlands to find Kuala Lumpur rainy and cool. We decided to stay in the Golden Triangle area, where the business section/shopping district is. With Chinese New Year coming up in another couple of days, we're out of the action (China Town), but only about a 15 minute walk to get into it. We have experienced the craziness of the malls here (West Edmonton mall comes to mind), the Petronas Towers, China Town, India Town, Old Colonial Square and Lake Titiwangsa. We were also preached to about Jesus in a mainly Muslim country...I'm so confused. The transport systems are beautiful, the people are eclectic, it has coffee shops that would make Toronto jealous. Overall a beautiful city, well developed, expensive and a lot of fun. We were lucky to meet up with more friends before they took off to Australia, it's a small world when you run into friends from a month earlier in a huge city. Tomorrow we're going to hit Genting Highlands (the Vegas of Malaysia) and head south afterwards to Melaka.
