First time visitors to Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur can’t help but notice how the Petronas Twin Towers dominates the skyline not just in terms of its size but its unique architecture.
As we approached the city on our bus from Penang in the north, the towers were impressive.
If by day, the towers don’t seem imposing or spectacular, see them at night.

It’s been slightly over a year since Rapid Penang bus service made it’s debut–July 31st 2007.
During its first 3 days of service, passengers rode for free.
That was serendipitous for me. I was home in Penang for a visit.
Since I wanted to visit the Kek Lok Si Temple at the end of Paya Terubong town, and I didn’t know the street so well anymore, we gave the bus a try.
Kota Kinabalu in local Chinese dialect means “City of the Chinese Widow.”
Located in the northwest coast of the world’s 3rd largest island, Borneo, Kota Kinabalu or “KK” as it is known to locals, is clearly different from state capitals in West Malaysia.
Beautiful sunsets–Visitors and locals alike can be seen strolling along the waterfront in KK enjoying the glorious sunsets
