Glad that you enjoyed KL. You're quite right about the tourist coaches. Do come back to KL cuz more shopping complexes will be built in near future.

Haven't been in KL since the towers were finished... And as for transport, we always used taxis, which were fine. Guess there's more than one reason for avoiding tour buses... ;-)

I wish I had gone up the tower at night, looks like the view at night is better, it is quite hazy during the day, great pics!!
