good morning Kuala Lumpur
welcome to the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur and look at the view that I have
from here hahaha over there if you look carefully Twin Towers
down there bukit bintang and we're about to go down there to go shopping so let's
get out there
and I am on the loose in Kuala Lumpur and I'm shopping there I've wandered
into a shopping mall I've no idea what its name is and it's just full of
literally hundreds and hundreds of little shops close close fun bits
opticians of this one the Kuala Lumpur has some amazing shopping centers
sometimes though they're so big it's difficult to find thing especially when
you're looking for specific things like I am now as I travel I developed by
traveling gear and what is useful I find out find out what I need yeah so I'm on
the hunt today for more SD cards because you can never have enough SD cards and I
do like the faster ones not only cuz they write pastor and write 4k but also
when you're downloading them they download and upload faster as well I'm
looking for some 128 gig sandesh cards I'm also looking to possibly change my
harness for the camera so this one's a bit it actually does a very good job but
I need it to be a little bit elasticated if I can find the one that suits my
needs no smell looking for definitely something else I was looking for
I do want another pair of shorts, Pirate DVD, shoes, not finding, oh yes the other thing I
wanted is something to hold my store my SD cards in when I'm travelling so are
two sort of SD card holders one that can hold stuff there do there unwritten cut
unused cards of one might and they three actually one for the unused cards one
for the used cards that I haven't backed up and one for the backup cards ready to
be rewritten in tallit okay that's what used to be a dead end
it's actually isn't the Mahler intended to come to I was intending to do a quick
cut across this mall to the next mall which I call low fat mall but it's actually
Low Yat mall and it's electronics place so you to get a lot of my places a
lot of my things here that's all it was simple task of walking courses small and
out the other side but it's never that that's simple is it
no makes you get myself in out like an exit okay this might be an exit up here
okay, I've found a staircase of green zone
and an exit out the other side
success exactly what I wanted to be
sorry take it where I live
maybe element
Electronics and luxury goods are very expensive that I can to use my stopovers
in kuala lumper to buy my electronic bits a lot of my stuff came from the
Singapore or Kuala Lumper that I bought while traveling and this is one of my
main sources of places to get stuff low fat, sorry Low Yat Mall in Kuala lumper and
it's electronics know things oh just stuff is only good if it's the stuff
you're looking for and again like a lot of malls here
hey huge wandering round
let's give you a quick peek
there we go into the middle of the mall
and as you can see
where are we going the shopping spree has commenced now I am using a new
microphone so we're gonna test the sound on that
now the good thing with low fat so many know he had so many faces is when up and
down found the best price got more priced from 450 Ringgits eventually
managed to buy it at 300 ingots their lofty at my SD cards
where was that shopper that gave me the best price
half chicken
it's more shopping center time this time I'm in the pavilion but I'm actually
only using as a shortcut because I'm gonna go and see the Twin
Towers and enjoy their aircon on the way through
it's my accommodation website Twin Towers of that side that might as well
enjoy the nice aircon walk all the way through if I can find the way through
Oh
the petronas towers is the at one point where the tallest in the world I believe
they're still amongst the tallest buildings in the world
dominate the skyline in Kuala Lumpur although they are getting overshadowed
now and lots of other buildings sprung up around them but I'm gonna go
investigate the towers see how expensive it is to go up and get the view give you
the information but also around the bottom of between the Convention Center
which is over there which has a covered walkway between the pavilion of the
Convention Center then you come at these beautiful gardens which has a swimming
pool public swimming pool over there some sort of fountains in the evening
it's lit up and has musical fountains as well I'll try and show you that later
and nice shady gardens to walk around in as well so it's quite plain it's a hot
day and wrangling the shades the cool breeze coming off the water
now the question is do I really want to go well I know it I sort of do and don't
want to go the way up there it's a long way up I don't know how many floors it
is and I don't expensive it is let's go and see come on camera man let's go up
there
now when you get into the petronas towers come downstairs now at the back
where the guards are you are allowed to take video but the front where the fountains
are you take photos but not video so no videos them then you come inside where
the tickets are sold you see this display screen here this is basically
only when the visits are how many tickets are available or is it sold out
now I'm here twelve twenty and there's no tickets available until 2:30 so I can
go get my ticket 2:30 mid-afternoon or do I wait a bit later too late to do I
don't hang around here awhile so tricky anyway I put the prices up as well the
prices are posted over here as well so let's just get them to you we're here
pricing here 85 35
card I think it's a local card you get a discount so you look at eighty-five
Ringgits to go up and the question is where
oh also you're not allowed to take tripods are all mono pots so handheld
only
but have a couple hours or an hour and a half before I get low fat Ronis how a
visit is you're very lucky to walk in and get business straight away they
don't just say everybody and everybody goes off in groups so the next to our
trash is full so I pull up to 3:30 a little bit later so I can hope they're
looking outside whether it's not raining but it's not clear clear, cloudy sky
but I'm hoping gets an afternoon light but at 8686
rink it's gotta be there quarter past three
then you go through security then go up and you see the view I think we walk
across the sky bridge and in the meantime couple hours to kill is the
shopping center right at the bottom of the towers huge shopping center found a
place it looks quite nice but a few ring gets despaired because I'm flying out of
Malaysia tomorrow so I've splashed out and got myself a stake as well as my
coat and some tea
so just a quick visit in comes over as normally normally I'm just passing
through the Kuala Lumpur's a good hub for visiting Asia, Air Asia are based hear so you get a
lot of cheap flights in and out of Kuala Lumper and it's quite a good place to
begin and end a trip , a big trip, in and out of ages before we head away
again now where next?
good question but first, first
steak
on the skybridge on the 41st floor between the proton between the petronas
towers on a bridge that's not actually attached either side because it's gotta
be flexible we supported were not attached kind of whirring now this is
41st floor and let me show you the view and we're going up to the 86th floor
observation deck after this I entirely sure how I feel about standing on a
bridge that 178 meters above the ground weighs 700 tons and is supported
by two what looks like flimsy little supports underneath isn't attached to
either Tower I decide fantastic view though
okay quite strictly regulators on here we've you've given that your card and
it's a color group I'm in the black group and when the guide calls you go so
we've had 10 minutes on the Skydeck it's reason enough to go backwards and
forwards they keep the groups quite small so there's not too many people up
here at once but black group has been called that's my group go down here and
I got another limit and go even further to the 86th floor to see what the view
is like from there come on he explores out there's gonna be three over 300
meters above the ground
number two and if I hear of the street level is three even it in certain
democracy when information level 86 is the highest level occupied both on the
towers there are two more levels up that not to be occupied
but they are not to be occupied it's only for mechanical in maintenance level
yeah at level 6 you will have about 15 to 20 minutes to spend when you support
time we will call you put into your black pastor you are wearing and look at
the back this one at this point then I'll send you back to level 83 if you
need any assistance of further information during limousine may refer
to any other stuff okay?
370 meters up it's a long wait we don't
like lifts which I don't and if you don't like Heights which I don't this is
not the best place to be but had to bring you here to show you the view not
the best of days but it's amazing view you can see a long way even on a cloudy day
have a look at this
for that view over the city yeah and you've got a 360-degree view up
on the ground there's a long list right you were from the 83rd floor all the way
down to the first floor and it takes less than a minute that's 350 meters in
less than a minute my ears are still popping but great views hey? what time is it
time for drink?
