I think KL is a great big city to live in (tons of shopping malls and you can get food of any kind), but the biggest (obvious) attractions are the towers: Petronas Towers (used to be tallest building, but now it's Taipei 101) and Menara Kuala Lumpur (aka KL Tower, it's a telecommunication tower). Fortunately, I visited the telecommunication tower before I made up my mind to leave because I discovered there are quite a bit to see in KL. I ended up spent Jan. 10 and 11 in KL. Since I wrote quite a bit while I was at KL (here, here, and here), this is a recap of sights I visited:
Jan. 10 - Chinatown, Petronas Towers and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre(KLCC), Merdeka Square, the library, National History Museum, Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Masjid Jamek, and Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower).
Jan. 11 - Batu Cave, got lost in free way, and Bird Park
