Adventures of Ed and Lou - Galavanting around South Asia: Kuala Lampur

Whoa Nelly - now here's a Cosmopolitan city! The mixture of old and new architecture is something to behold. While the skyline doesn't compare to say Vancouver's,

Kuala Lampur's has its own uniqueness.

We arrive in Kuala Lumpur!

We were pretty excited to see the Patronas Towers and they didn't disappoint. This structure is 452 meters high, has 88 storeys and a walkway between the towers on the 41st floor. The Skywalk - it is aptly named. Although we didn't go up - we both do not like heights - we were part of the group straining our necks below to look up. Both towers are clad in stainless steel and stand there glistening and at night - oh my - they are gorgeous! We were able to see them from our hotel room. When we go back - and we will go back - we will go up! Just saying that makes my tummy flip:)

From our hotel room.

From a few blocks away.

Us straining our necks!

The city itself was extremely easy to travel in. There are free buses, hop on hop off buses and a monorail. Ed was horribly confused about the buses. Kept trying to hop on the free bus! These three work only in the core of the city and are for schlepping tourists like us to and fro. We were fortunate as our hotel, the Concordia, had a monorail station just outside the front doors. And a Hard Rock Café so we were able to add to our ever growing shooter collection! Priorities, priorities!

I should note that there was some strange Japanese hero convention going on while we were there.

At first we thought it had something to do with New Years Eve, but no it was a convention!

Very Odd.

The girls were cute!

We took in China Town - craziness, just plain craziness, some of the high end shopping malls - just dreaming, the sights, sounds and aromas of just walking around and the Bird Sanctuary -

noisy and hot - but some beautiful birds.
