Kuala Lumpur



The Petronas Towers are the symbol of Kuala Lumpur. But I have to admit it is hard not to be impressed especially by night. There was a time where they stood as the tallest construction on earth but they have since been dethroned by the Sears Tower in Chicago and Taipei 101 in Taiwan. Last time I came to KL the neighbouring Indonesian fires where raging and it made it impossible to even see the top of the towers. This time around things are much clearer but I am still unsure it is worth taking the pain queuing for the vista. They are much better looked at than looked from.
