Kuala Lumpur (KL) WOW!!!












What an amazing contrast to our previous month in third world countries. A gorgeous 5 star hotel with all the amenities. Over 50 different choices for breakfast buffet. . From our room we can see the Petronas Towers, one of the world’s tallest buildings. We tried to get a ticket to go to the top, but when we arrived at 10 am all the tickets for the day were gone. They are free, but the number is limited so people start lining up at 6:30 am and when the ticket office opens at 8:30 am, all the tickets are gone within 30 minutes. This city is beautiful and really modern. Lots of shopping malls, each one bigger than any at home. We have ridden on the subway and the monorail, went to the central market and walked up and down Bukit Bintang, KL’s main entertainment area. KL is shopping heaven. It’s not cheap, but the choices! Lots of stores we don’t have in the US and consequently different (read – more interesting) designs.
