  • Fondest Memory: Meeting this very friendly Chinese chap in the central market who was happy to pose for me. His style of dress and plaited hair caught my attention.

    Petronas Twin Towers: Petronas Towers Skybridge
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers
  • Petronas Towers Skybridge
  • by phil_uk_net
  • Send Photo to a Friend

  • Fondest Memory: The viewing platform in the Petronas Towers is on the Sybridge that links the twin towers on the 42nd floor.
    The bridge itself has 2 levels. The lower level is for casual observers and the upper level is for office workers who need to get between the 2 towers.

    Petronas Twin Towers: View from Petronas Towers - front
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers
  • View from Petronas Towers
  • by phil_uk_net
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: I would think this is probably the No. 1 tourist attraction in KL. This is the view from the Petronas Towers Skybridge.
    It is not possible, unfortunately to see the Manara TV tower from here.

    Petronas Twin Towers: Worst job in the world?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers
  • Petronas Towers exterior painter
  • by phil_uk_net
  • Send Photo to a Friend

  • Fondest Memory: While admiring the view of KL from the Petronas Towers I suddenly noticed the painter outside. Standing precariously in a small bucket secured by wire ropes and swinging around in the breeze he was painting the outside of the building using a brush tied to a long stick. I tried to find out how much he earnt! Having a great fear of heights myself I wouldn't do this job for any amount of money.

     It's true everyone want to see the Petronas Twin Tower. On my flight back from Netherland this Swedish lady sitting next to me who is on a stopover flight was so excited to see it too. :-) Great page.

     useful review on Master Tan and Wong! name changed, address is same, service is just as good as described... must visit rather than the other "foot rubbing" places

     Hmm ... I have these friends from Liverpool and London keep on coming back every year for shopping. Most of them are in their 20s. I guess you must have missed something on your trip. Anyway, a great review!!

     Mosques and minarets are usually enough to divert me, but this National Mosque is well, a little below the standard I knew in Turkey.
