Roadtrip to Kuala Lumpur

Since we were already in Singapore, and we're a few hours away from Malaysia, we planned of dropping by Kuala Lumpur to have a view of the famous twin towers.

We left Singapore at past 11pm, pass through the Malaysian border and rode a bus via Johor Bahru bound to Puduraya, Kuala Lumpur. We arrived in KL as early as 4am, exchange SGDs to Malaysian Ringgits and had our breakfast in McDonalds Fastfood Resto.

My impressions of downtown KL? uhmm..dirty surroundings, foul smelling comfort rooms, spicy foods, not so very nice taxi drivers and the local people do not speak nor understand basic English! I really did not like that idea! The only psychadelic thing I saw in this place is the PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS.

Here are our photos:
Downtown Puduraya
We're now standing at the KLCC Park, this area is good for morning joggers because of its spacious running and walking paths, it has water fountains..usually works in the afternoon and a long wading pool for children.
 The tallest twin structure in the world..looking at the structure very carefully, one can imagine two people walking hands and never letting go..how romantic!

I hope I could see the structure at night..people said they are sparkling at night time

 This is from the skybridge, 41st floor of the towers..you can see the panoramic view of the KL city from above

 Behind the Suria KLCC, we found this clean garden with a mini lake..at least there are still clean places left in the city haha!

 We lined up as early as 6am to have a guaranteed spot to visit the 41st floor skybridge since only 900 visitors are allowed each day. The tour in the Skybridge and observation deck takes about 45 minutes.


At the observation deck..it's like walking around a Science Centrum,,everything is high-tech!





Come late afternoon, we headed back to the Puduraya Bus terminal for a ride back to Singapore. It was really not a satisfying day trip but it's worth all the experience. I'm going back next time to explore other places in this country..I've only been to one small part of Malaysia, maybe there are a lot more places to see which will definitely change my bad impressions. Everybody deserves a second chance anyway: )


Happy Trip!
