The other side of the breakfast area in our hotel, towards the bit with bread, cakes and other wheat products.
On our way into town we saw that they had finished building the monorail.
The trains running on it look nice.
I'm always fascinated by the contrast between the polished and clean streetfronts of shops/offices and the way their sides look in the alleys next to the buildings. It makes a cool photo too, I think.
Looking across the street, underneath the monorail.
The cornerfront of the LOT 10 shopping mall. It wasn't actually very exciting inside so we left pretty soon.
This is one of the stations of the monorail. What I find very fascinating is that the whole station seems to "balance" on only a few poles in between the motorways. This is a neccesity because the monorail was build in between 2 motorways, there was no space for a big builduing on the street-level.
To cool the air on terraces, here you often find fans that spray water into the airstream. The water then vaporizes actually within a few metres, thus cooling the air (as vaporizing uses the energy stored in warm air).
Streetview.
The intersection infront of LOT10 is possibly the busiest and most exciting one in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Homebound traffic is nuts here. You could put up a chair (and put on a gasmask, too!) and watch this for hours. On this picture the light has just turned green and the mopeds are speeding away like it's a Formula 1 race.
Like I said, it's nuts. Here go the mopeds...
BB Plaza is another, kind of hidden mall opposite LOT10. This is where the malaysians go themselves I think. It's INSANE inthere, but in an amusing way. There was something going on in the bottomfloor that created TONS of noise and people flocked around it. This mall possibly has 600 shops spread over 6 floors. You can get EVERYTHING here, especially mobile phones. There must be at least 50 shops for mobile equipment inthere. If you're the "shop till you drop" kinda person, you probably drop before you reached the last shop.
Fridaynight in KL. Very busy and crazy, it's a jungle outthere...
I bought a 4GB USB2.0 pendrive at some obscure shop in BB Plaza for 60% of the price in The Netherlands. It actually works!

That cheap then, 60% of the dutch price. And cool how they cool the air, i never saw that before. Well, have a nice flight to Adelaide, hope it is not as windy as it is here, here all the Schipholtraffic was almost down, because of the storm.
Nice flight and see you on the webcam in Adelaide:-)
Ohja, en vergeet niet wat vaker op mijn blog te kijken, ik update nu vaker, er staat inmiddels weer een nieuw verslag;-)
Yeah, omgerekend it was only 22 euro's!
I'll check out your blog more often then!
