We've spent 4 days down in Kuala Lumpur, and it's an AMAZING city! There's just so much to do. The skyline is fantastic, and they have the 4th highest building in the world here in the KL Tower (Communications Tower). The markets all have cool fakes, and theres so many shopping malls, you literally shop til you drop.
OK I'll start with the tourist things. We went to the Petronus Towers which are twin towers with a bridge in between them for crossing. So we went up to the bridge to look down. This wasn't even half way up the buildings, but the view down was amazing. Then we did the KL Tower, and went right to the top of this. I thought the Empire State Building in NY was tall, but the KL tower beats it hands over. You should see it at night especially, it lights up in purple, and the dome part at the top is starkling purple all night long. Fantastic to see. But the Petronus Towers at night is equally impressive, all lit up. On the last day, Emma, Sarah and Alice went to the Auquarium. It's the biggest one in the world. They were well impressed with it. They said you could see shark and everything swimming overhead as they walked through a glass tunnel.
OK so besides the previous paragraph, all we basically did was shop! We went down to Petaling Street in China Town which is famous for its markets with all the fakes. We also spent a day in Times Square shopping mall, which by the way has a theme park on its 5th floor!!!! It covers a few floors, but has a rollercoaster going through a few floors of the mall!! Naturally we had to spend a few hours in the theme park too :)
The shopping in KL is amazing though. Other malls we went to were Lot 10, and to the Petronas Mall. These would both have proper shops, no fakes or anything, so you're paying similar prices to at home, but they've an unreal selection.
We had a few drinks here too. One night we went to Luna Chill Out Bar, which is on the top floor (33rd floor) of one of the buildings, so we had a great view of the city skyline at night. And got to see the KL Tower all lit up purple, it was amazing to see.
Seriously, the shopping is brilliant here. And on the last day, myself and Gillian even treated ourselves to the most cutest 8.9" laptops :)
We're flying down to Singapore in a few hours, so until next time....
