Malaysia - First place of visit on Dec 23rd

The first place of visit in Malaysia was KLCC Towers otherwise called as Petronas towers or twin towers in Malaysia. Whoa! what a huge building it was. It is a landmark of Malaysia and was built ten years ago. Currently they are celebrating 10 years with Petronas. It has lot of offices located in there and huge malls at the basement. Lot of brand outlets are present and you can shop from there. I forgot to tell you that the currency in Malayisa is Ringgits and works out to be Rs.8 per Ringgit. At the 42nd floor, a bridge connects the two buildings and visitors are allowed from 9 am to 5 pm to see the view of neighbourhood areas from this floor.

Now wait! I have been there twice and never got a chance to get to the 42nd floor and you know why? It is merely for the huge crowd that visit this tower daily. The allowed limit of patrons are only 1800 pax and several thousands want to visit the tower. The queue starts at 7 am in the morning and the tickets are over in an hour or two. It is a free entry to the building though. We also visited the towers at night and wow! it was glowing in glory. Such a beautiful site and I did not want to move my eye from it. Such a wonderful tourist attraction but the sad thing is it is contributing to the ozone layer problem due to excessive emission of light and usage of electricity. I clicked a lot of snaps of the building and the night effect showed smoke just above the building. It is therefore contributing to global warming but for it the building is a made marvel for sure.
