Petronas Towers

The Petronas Towers are the tallest buildings in Malaysia and the 4th tallest man-made structure in the world. It held the title for tallest until 2003. But it's pretty boring. We left the hostel at 7:30 this morning and lined up for 2 hours to get tickets. We don't even get to go to the top. Only about halfway up to the bridge joining the two buildings. Also, I think I got tired of seeing these city views after Taipei 101. I wasn't impressed and was actually a little bored. The buildings are pretty though, with it's silvery, shiny exterior. We're going back tonight to see it lit up. Perhaps it'll be better?


... 6 hours later ...

We went back to the Petronas Towers before sunset to take some night pictures. We got there about 45 minutes before the sun set and stayed there until it did. It was pretty nice. As the sun set, the lights on the tower started to light up and really started to look pretty with its silvery shimmer. City views from the top (or middle with the Petronas Towers) are not so interesting anymore, but views OF the building are still nice. We were situated in a park about a quarter-mile away. I'd rank the Petronas Towers as the prettiest building I've seen so far (but don't expect a list any time soon ... or ever). Nightview is much much better than day view.
