Greetings from Kuala Lumpur- (which has to be one of the most happening places we have been to so far!)

There's been so much development that has occured in recent years, but the good thing is that it has all been planned and well thought out (which does not happen in most places we've been to!) The iconic KL Tower (2nd pic) and the Petronas Towers (twin towers) loom out of the sky and are so visible, that everywhere you go you can use them to help navigate your way home! They've been designed in a way that enables everyone to enjoy them, so rather than being in a separate business district, they're in the middle of town and have malls and cinemas on the lower floors and a huge paved fountain clad area for people to hang out in. The rest of KL is much grittier and rougher around the edges, and it's a very 'late' city, in that things kick off quite late in the evening (which suits me, not so great for Hugh!). Where we're staying there's loads of places to eat and live bands etc so it's a short hop to bed!
