Petronas Towers at Night
The Towers are incredible to see at night...Just a quick note before we run out of Malaysian Ringitts for the internet. We spent two night in Kuala Lampur and head out tomorrow morning for Myanmar. We've gotten prepared by getting $100 US bills which we've heard get the best black market exchange rate in Yangon...should be interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we'll have internet or email while we're there so check back after 6/26 when we get to Bangkok for a post on our adventures in Myanmar.
The highlight of KL was going up to the sky bridge in the Petronas Towers...the 2nd tallest buidlings in the world - and Mike's favorites. We were initially disappointed when we arrived to find out that all the tickets for the day had been given out already. We dejectedly talked to the head usher and poked around the lobby level information area a bit, then walked out to take pictures. When we walked back in the head usher walked by and stopped to ask if we were still interested in going up to the sky bridge - YES! Some people hadn't shown for their appointed time so we were able to use their tickets. A cool experience on the
bridge at 41 stories-high - although it likely wouldn't have been as cool if we'd had to get up at the crack of dawn to wait in line for tickets! Since the World Cup matches come on here around midnight, we've been staying up late!
Anyways, I'm getting eaten alive by a mosquito right now so should run. Take care and check back after the 26th!

I remember that bridge from that movie entrapment with Sean Connery and Katherine zeta-jones. That is an awesome building. who are you cheering for now that the us is out of the world cup. I'd like to see the Aussies or Brits win. Big goal by Beckham today. Hope you guys are having a blast on your asian adventure.
