The Petronas Towers

Selamat pagi KL! Another day in the lovely Malaysia. I feel so blessed to be waking up on a bed so comfy, and a buffet for breaky. Such grace!  By 9AM, we are gathered at the lobby for our City Tour to visit KL's most iconic landmark- The Petronas! Known as the Petronas Twin Towers, it  is the tallest building from 1998-2004, and to date, still remains the tallest twin towers in the world.

Sorry for the blur photo, I haggled for a lens for MY15.
You get what you pay for. Lols

Standing in a height of 451m, Petronas Towers is an 88-floor tower which was inaugurated 1999. During design phase, the government specified the building must be completed within 6 years therefore 2 construction companies were hired in order to meet the deadline; the Tower 1 by the Japanese Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by the South Korean Samsung C&T Corporation. Imagine that when each floor is completed, a flag of the construction country is raised, a friendly competition on the race to finish the first tallest twin tower!


Nady & Lory

Located at the base of the tower is Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur's upscale mall.
According to our guide, they have an underwater aquarium and science center but we did not get that far since we're only there for a quick toilet break. Haha.



Happiness & love,
