​We spend our first few days in Kuala Lumpur chilling out and predominantly enjoying the condo while we begin to catch up on e-mail, photo processing and blogging. I savor relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. In the evening we sometimes go up to the rooftop deck and enjoy the Petronas Twin Towers - it is almost as if they are next door. The Towers at night as well as the pool chairs offer an opportunity for William to practice with our new photography tripod.

​Today, Tuesday, we are ready for some adventure so we purchase 48 hour tickets for the Hop-On Hop-Off bus. Each of the two routes takes two hours to complete. We do both routes by primarily sitting on the bus watching the people on the streets, the sites, and listening to the live narrative. There’s a mix of old and new along the routes. The city has some amazing recent architecture in addition to the Petronas Twin Towers, and there are cranes everywhere we look working on new condos, business buildings, hotels and mixed-used buildings. The Exchange 106 Skyscraper is now the tallest building in Malaysia, while KL Tower is a communications tower is the third-most famous building in the city. But the Merdeka 118 building is currently under construction and it will become the tallest in KL and South East Asia, and the second tallest in the world.
​
Along the red bus route we spot Healy Mac’s Irish Bar. Since we have a track record of sampling Irish bars throughout the world we decide that is the spot for our late lunch. William sips on a Kilkenny while he waits for his rib lunch and I have a glass of wine to accompany my croque monsieur. Ok, so we didn’t go with traditional Irish food, but pork is not something we’ve found in the Kuala Lumpur restaurants up until now, a reflection of the Muslim population.
