The Towers





Well (I don't know why the pics show up like this - whatever). The towers really are quite pretty. And a big symbol of national pride. After independence Malaysia and Singapore broke apart, so Kuala Lumpur is really new and has a little inferiority complex vis a vi Singapore. The Towers are one answer, just like the monorails that run all over the city.

Kuala Lumpur isn't nearly as polished as Singapore, but that is kind of nice. I mean you know you are in a different country - not a disney-different land.

But, like Singapore, the national pastime appears to be shopping. So I spent some time in the 6 story mall under the towers. I needed an airline ticket - so it was okay.

More later.
