KUALA LUMPUR March 23
To get here we took our 6th airplane since leaving Astor Street. Bob had prepared 6 x 9 inch bright iridescent sticky labels to put on each of our 4 ship-thru suitcases for each flight: the destination airport codes and “priority handling” was printed on each one. They usually come out first and are easy to spot.
The Westin upgraded us to a large suite, the finest in this luxury hotel.
We have a dining alcove with surrounding windows, fully equipped kitchen alcove, 2 office spaces, LARGE living room, bedroom and bathroom.
The breakfast buffet is so large that there is a map showing where each type of food (Indian, Chinese, Western, smoothies, Malaysian, etc) can be found.
This city amazes us. In some areas it feels like New York -
Lights Action Energy High class stores Crowds Hotels Restaurants
Night life Office buildings Tall buildings
Last night when we walked back to our Hotel after dinner we passed a different kind of very busy area - all in the street - food cooking, crowded
tables, bright signs, bombarding color, noise, movement, smells, bumping.
Today we will hire a guide.
3:00 PM Good guide, good driver .....Bob took lots of pictures .
We are surprised by the large number of tall buildings, good architecture.
The Petronas Twin Towers are positioned by Feng Shuei to face an important bank.
Good highways.
We saw Muslim temples. Since today is Friday it is the holiday of the week. Major prayer time. Only men can go into the mosque to pray on Friday. At a large mosque there were so many cars and motor cycles
that the police allow extra parking on the street.
Went into a Buddhist temple. So beautifully ornate. Much park land and rain forrest in the city.
A huge bird sanctuary covered by a huge net.
Weather is HOT AND HUMID. Came back and took a needed nap.
