Since the theme of the day was architecture I was paying more attention to the large office buildings surrounding me, and to be honest a lot of them aren't particularly attractive. Others are just unusual.
KL Tower |
At night the camel lights up too |
They're putting up a lot of new buildings around KL |
Monorail |
The towers are just massive when you get up close, all steel and glass.
On the way back I stopped at a couple of the malls (one of the other things KL is known for).
Most of the malls I've seen in Thailand and Malaysia are incredibly nice. This one was a high clss fashion mall with shops like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Montblanc (in other words, places that I would never shop). I tried to find a store with hiking boots but no luck. The only boots I saw had stiletto heels.
The City Walk is pretty much a long alley that has been carved out of the city center, lined with shops and restaurants.
They have a couple of these elevated walkways around the city center, it seems like they mostly just connect the various shopping malls.
I didn't buy anything at the mall but I did pick up a couple things at the Chinatown market on the way home.
Could you get up into the bridge between the Petronas Towers? The building with the wire sculpture, was that the Meridien Hotel? Makes Nshvl
ReplyDeletemalls look like relics!
I want some Beats by Dre!! Are they complete knock offs? Do they work?
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, total knock offs. The speakers I got seem to work alright, but the speaker on the earbuds never worked so I ended up buying a (hopefully) legit pair at the mall.
