Malaysia - KL

Kuala Lumpur.  Soaring sky-scrapers.  "Massage parlors" on every corner. Temples, churches, mosques, and monasteries, all side by side.  Authentic Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Malaysian food, combining sometimes to create a curious blend of cuisines.




The Petronas Towers.  A very surreal moment viewing this sunset.  A diverse group of people gathered in the park to view the sunset, with Muslim chanting played on loudspeaker, and a very moving backdrop of two leviathan spires rising to oblivion.  Kuala Lumpur was by far my favorite metropolitan in Southeast Asia.  A combination of culture, beauty, and grunge.
