Memory Lane 懐かしい... Batu Caves Malaysia

I can't wait to go back to Malaysia!  I can't help but think about all the fond memories I have of that country.


The Petronas Towers...again!  I can't get enough of this structure.  I had to find a bus somewhere near here to get to Batu Caves.  Luckily my CS hostess told me which bus to chose because it would otherwise be confusing.

Batu Caves takes its name from Sungai Batu or Batu River and is one of the most visited Hindu Shrine outside of India.


This shrine is dedicated to Lord Murugan.


Great view from up here





A really amazing cavern main of Limestone


An obligatory Monkey Pic.

Let me tell you though.  This monkey slighted me when I was offering it some coconut, the greedy bugger thought what I offered it wasn't enough.  SO, it decided to climb up my leg and pull at my bag of coconut from my hands!  I didn't want any monkey disease so I relinquished my hold on the bag and Lo!  Behold the little thief!

I've grown to mistrust monkeys but they're still amusing critters

Memory Lane 懐かしい... Malaysia KL

I've been feeling very nostalgic about Malaysia and really freaked out when I couldn't find the pictures I took there; especially those of the Petronas Towers.

Long story short...I found them!



This was a really cool building and I think the look out was only at the 40th floor.  Something like that.

I took a panoramic picture....but that I can't find.  The view from the look out had a great view of Kuala Lumpur.

You may have seen these towers featured in the movie Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones - I think that was the film that put her on the map.

Well, I didn't know what to expect when I went inside but if you want to know....



....A shopping mall!  Granted, those are only the first few floors but I definitely wasn't expecting that!

I'm sure there are more businesses in all the other floors but I was just shocked.

Other buildings that I saw but had no clue what the are (at the time I did, but that was over 5 years ago)...
