KUALA LUMPUR (28/11/09)
Elinor had a morning flight out of Kuala Lumpur which is why we had travelled here from Penang the night before. Once we had dropped her at the airport we decided to spend the rest of the day having a brief look around the city of Kuala Lumpur. We were not particularly impressed, the city centre was sterile and uninteresting whilst the outskirts seemed filthy, grey and uncared for. This is one of the twin Petronas Towers, formerly the tallest skyscrapers in the world (452m 0r 1483ft) until surpassed by the Taipei 101 building in Taiwan in 2004.
Away from the sparkling clean centre the city is very different. Rubbish lines the polluted streets and the scenery is concrete and very little else. We had the pleasure of crossing this filthy, sewage filled river.
The view of the Petronas Towers from our hotel window. We always like to have a look around everywhere we visit but we were both glad that we had a bus booked to Singapore the next morning.
