Finally, the last leg of the tour, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
We arrived early evening, took the bus to the KLIA transit that connects the main terminal to the KL Sentral station.
As usual, I couldn't help but be sad that our airports don't have the same accessibility. I don't want to compare, but the Philippines has the oldest airline, and I suppose airport, in Asia so we had the upperhand to innovate. Unfortunately, it is now one, if not the "worst" in the world.
But I am hopeful, it is not too late, and it's not the subject of this post.
Anyway, while on the monorail to our hotel, we couldn't help but gasp at the sight of KL's jewel, the Petronas Towers!
Unfortunately, it is impossible to get a good shot because it was a bit shaky.
Our hotel is situated in Bukit Bintang.
I am a city boy as ETS is a jungle girl, so I love the busyness of it all, while she was hating it! Found our hotel, left the bags and because we had practically just a little more than a day to spend in KL, we immediately went for the kill!
We proceeded to Petronas Towers and it is indeed a magnificent sight even from afar! We thought the night was still young so we stopped by the Akasa Taj Indian restaurant first for dinner. We so love the Indian manager for being so attentive to our needs, on top of huge serving and cheap prices, the two poor travelers couldn't be any happier!
Then off to Petronas. ETS and I agreed that the awe we were feeling that time must have been the same with the primitive people of Cambodia had when they first laid eyes on Angkor Wat. We ogled a bit but unfortunately, when it was time for my Kodak moment, the lights shut off! It was a second past midnight! The twins still looked great but I want the glow in the dark sky! So we agreed to just come back the following day.
We went back to the hotel and saw some surprising things, in Malaysian context, along the way.
