21st August. kuala lumpur. petronas towers

So got up to go to the KL towers today, was told by a tourist that i should get there for about 7:30, but my hostel bloke told me it would be ok to get there for 8-9am. Should of listened to the tourist, as i got there for about 8:45, and the queue was bloody huge. so i lined up, took me 2hrs to get a ticket and they close at 17:30. my appointment was at 17:00 so i was lucky i think to get a ticket.

tickets are free thats why its such a big queue. mum i hope this is worth it, im doing it for you.

the queuing wasn't to bad, i was standing next to an irish women who i got talking to, she looked pissed as a fart from last night, and you would never guess what she did for a living, she was gwen stefani's tour manager. How random is that, so she was rather interesting to talk to. she also managers the red hot chills and a few other people. wow, gwen is over here doing a tour at the moment, doaaa this is her manager i am talking to.

So got the ticket eventually, 17:00 and its now 11am. So time to explorer and see what KL has to offer.

there isn't actually alot to see in KL. so i went down to the orchard gardens, lake gardens, butterfly park. however because i had time to waste i thought i would walk. ouch my feet still hurt from thinking about it .

so i finally made it to the ochard garden, actually was a waste of time, i wasn't impressed at all, looked more like a garden centre to me, maybei just dont like flowers, but i was expecting some really beautiful flowers with lots of different colours and thinks. oh well live and learn. walk pasted the bird park. apparently is the is biggest undercover one in the world. but to be honest i had went to one in hong kong which was free, and that was ok. this one you have to pay for. yeah i know its not alot, but sod that.

didn't actually find the lakes, found an old railway station which was ok, its just an old building.

wow where has the time gone, better get back to my appointment at the patronas towers.

got back to the towers went and had some food. got to the towers.

well you go to the exhibition centre read some stuff about the towers and how they built them, nothing to interesting. i did find out that petronas who own the towers as a petrol company, very big over here, i personnal have never heard of them.

next you get to see a cheesey 3d film about the company its really american, petronas as great we do this for the country and blah blah blah. waste of time, but i get to the towers so its ok.

got up to the towers, wow you do get a really nice view of the city. not as high up as the KL towers, but still i think it is a better view. better location. So we were on the towers for about 10mins. got to walk up and down it take pictures. OMG im not a lover of heights, but mum wants pictures, so i went to the middle of the bridge and there is a little bit you can walk out on. i took a picture up that was ok, and a picture down just to show the height of it. wow that made me go dizzy as hell. so i then left the bridge and stood by the end of it. what a tit i know, im 27 and heights mess me up. oh well we can't all be superman.

so that was the petronas towers. i wanted to get a picture of the towers at night as they look so beautiful. So i went round the shoppping centre at the bottom of the towers, dam its huge. got to about 06:45 thought ok the sun goes down about 7pm, so i went up. sat around. dam it the sun didn't go down till 8pm. so i sat around for a long time. wanted to get the pictures so i had to do it. could of gone back to the shopping centre but i wasn't actually buying anything so sod it.

Finally the sun went down, got the picture i wanted. and don't you think it was worth it, they look great.

so didn't really do anything else. got to a internet place. wrote some more blog, spoke to good old wez. (nice to speak to you mate, miss you !!!! lol )

then got back to hostel, hang out for a bit with 2 blokes a ozzy and a canadian man, who is abot 40 and is still traveling. he likes to travel. hope i a still doing it at his age, these are the best times of my life and i am doing and see so much it is unbelievable.

plus im not working. hahaha. im a bum. how cool is that.

Going to singapore tomorrow on a "bus" hope its better then the "bus" i had from koh samui to pucket. they bus people tell me it is VIP, which is what i asked for, only 30rm which is 5 pounds, not bad at all. we will see.
