Wet Kuala Lumpur

Today, our only chance to visit the capital of Malaysia, was rainy.  The hour ride to the museum took two and a half hours because of traffic jams.  Whenever we stopped to take pictures, it was raining, so picture quality is bad.

Petronas Towers

The twin Petronas Towers are linked by a bridge on the 43 and 44th floors.  Actually, there is no physical connection between the bridge and the towers so that the 2 towers are allowed to flex independently.  The city is a study in architecture with modern skyscrapers of all shapes towering over the mosque, the train station and the post office building.

Since these pictures are rather gloomy, I am including a few we took 15 years ago on a sunny October day.  The Petronas Towers are built of stainless and glass which is why it is still so shiny and new.
