Kuala Lumpur

With the prices of airfare at an all time low, just couldn't resist a short trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ... the bustling Asian city celebrating its Golden Year of Nationhood in 2007. Having gone to Malaysia only once in the past, we were excited to see how much the city has kept a lot of its culture intact amidst the modern highrises and huge themeparks.
L - The famous Petronas Twin Towers, world's 2nd tallest building
R - Kuala Lumpur is a metropolis full of that east-meets-west charm
L - One of the longest and steepest cable car rides in the world
R - Genting Island is a huge indoor & outdoor amusement park
