Petronas

The title basically summarizes my short stay in Kuala Lumpur.

Went to those towers in the morning to get the tickets for the famous skywalk. They give out a bunch FREE!!! each day. But before you get to go up (on the service elevator for some reason...), you have to watch this 3D video on Petronas. I felt like I was in some sort of recruitment event. I have to say that the towers look better from outside, than from the skywalk:

And being the dork that I am, I had to get the night view too.

In between, I spent most of my time at the mall right underneath the towers. How novel of me! Well, I was getting sick of having to do laundry every few days, and getting bored of my very limited wardrobe, so I decided I needed a few new things : ) Plus, my spending for the past week has been very minimal because I've been sharing a room with a more budget-conscious backpacker. Think ~$5/night. I have a lot to learn from her. So, I think I deserve some nice shopping, right?!

Oh, and I gave in and had my first Starbucks of my travels - tall soy latte with a croissant. There was one right in front of my Chinatown room, how could I resist?! So damn expensive though...it was probably the most expensive food purchase since my splurge in Bangkok.

I'll try to write something more exciting from my next stop - Indonesia. Malaysia (at least Kuala Lumpur) didn't do much for me...
