KL MALAYSIA


BOOK V MALAYSIA
You cannot live in Singapore and not go to Malaysia, especially since you can drive there, take the bus there or do what I did, fly there which is only 45 min. Kuala Lumpur, or "muddy confluence" in Malay, had been beckoning to me for a long time. My "girl-power" side wanted to see the architectural feat which is the Petronas Twin Towers, because it counted a lady among the chief engineers and architects. The Petronas Twin Towers were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 until 2004 when Taipei 101 surpassed them. The towers are quite spectacular although I wasn't able to go to the top as I had wished. The tours were in the morning and I had come in the afternoon. Still, I got a wonderful view of them. The ground floors are for the shopper in all of us!
