Kuala Lumpur Photos

We're way behind in our posts. Charlie has been trying to help, but he's been wrapped up in seeing the sights and in some adventures of his own, as he's sure to tell you about in the near future. We are currently in Battambang, Cambodia, but over the next several days we'll be posting photos from the last couple weeks of our trip, including Angkor Wat. Pardon the lack of chronology here - our favorite ice cream cone kid can only do so many things at once!

Ian has provided you with his astute observations and accurate impressions of our first couple of days in Kuala Lumpur. Once the cockroaches chased us out of our guest house, however, things really improved. We found a nice place in a different part of town, and by the time we left we had gained a real appreciation for the city. The food was excellent, the architecture was impressive, and the nearby sights were pretty cool. Some photos:
Kuala Lumpur Monorail. This is not a bad system, but the crowds are awful during Peak Hours. Needed: more than two cars per train.

Another view of the Petronas Towers.

View from the top: neat tile patterns on the roof of the attached mall.

View of some nice gardens by the towers.

Menara Kuala Lumpur.

Awesome man with a bullhorn teaching passersby how to solve math problems.

The very sacred and craggy Bantu Caves.

Monkey at the Bantu Caves.
