Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

On May 7th, we left for Kaula Lumpur Malaysia. It has been said that Malaysia is where the new embraces the old; Where modern sophistication meets rustic charm; and
Where pristine tracts of rainforest blend into the metropolitan skyline.


One of the highlights of KL are the Petronas Towers. Standing at an awesome 451.9m (1,482 ft.) above street level, with 88 stories, the towers are the third tallest buildings in the world. From the outside, the structures are designed with the kind of geometric patterns common to Islamic architecture.




We found great shopping in China Town on Petaling Street. In preparation for the Okinawan Typhoon season, Beth and I bought several TV series on DVD...
