wet feet (and whatever there can be wet)

No photoshoot of KL can be complete without a picture of the twin towers! The endless money of the state oil company Petronas was poored into concrete and stainless steel, to build the (at that time) highest building in the world. Meanwhile it's a dwarf, compared to the newest highest  :-)

Most tourist visit the twin towers, and take pictures from its basement. Impressive, no doubt, but I wanted another view. I knew from the maps that there is a park nearby, with lots of water, and that's where I went. Strolling around in the cool summer of Malaysia (still 30°C), I discovered a touristfree spot, where the Malay were predominant, and their kids were cooling off in the splashing water. I focused on one boy, so clearly enjoying himself in the shallow coolness, you'll find the pix on the picasaweb. After the waterfun, he went to his mother, who was maximum overdressed, headscarf and tutti quanti, and while she was drying him carefully, he looked at me taking pictures and he enjoyed it :-)

About the picture of the twin towers on top: it took me no less then 4 pictures to get the whole image, fortunately I have this lovely stitching program that seams them together flawlessly :-)

I also feel the hunger to visit the less glorious parts of the city. Maybe one day I'll do it, provided I find a guide. For the moment, I've been told clearly to stay away there.
