Malaysia

Malaysia has nice, wide roads! That's the first thing that struck me when I got out of Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Also, is the airport itself nice or what! The baggage claim (or reclaim, and rightly so written in one of the airports; I forget which!) section is so far away from where the plane lands that commuters need to take a train (through the airport) to get there! That train ride was just so awesome! As the train flits by, you can only begin to imagine the airport's expanse!

The hotel that we stayed in at KL offered a lovely view of the famous Petronas Twin Towers, featured many a time in Indian movies! I must say though that I found them beautiful only at night, all lit up and glowing; during the day, somehow, they just looked like two metal towers; nonetheless, with an amazing architecture! The hotel was also very well placed, what with upmarket malls and stores surrounding it on all sides.

The night we landed in Malaysia, we just strolled around the neighbouring area of Bukit Bintang, taking in the sights and sounds of the ever lively streets! All through the walk, we kept spotting the Petronas, and each time, I was awestruck by its nighttime beauty!
