KL Trip Next Stop: Twin Towers

After filling up our empty stomach, it's time to do some exercise. Bf got us tickets to the Twin Towers' skybridge (thank you!). We parked our car at the very far end of KLCC park and walked. Because the PC Fair was held on that day, there was quite a large crowd at the park.

It was a bright sunny day, Margit had a hat and I regretted not bring mine. The weather was scathingly hot and we were in a hurry to reach the bridge by 2pm. It was then that I realised the park was huge~.

All girls :)

Managed to cam whore with the unusual clock (actually it's correct because it's supposed to be read the other way round)

We arrived at the bridge in the park where one can get the best picture with Twin Towers

Alas, we escaped the sun and stepped into the welcoming cool air of the mall. Now Margit understands why Malaysians enjoy spending their weekends and holidays shopping. We headed to the counter, passing by Petronas Philharmonic Orchestra Theater, which was fascinating for Margit because she's a Music Therapist. :D

Before taking the elevator up to the bridge, we were brought to a mini theater where a short clip introducing the Petronas Towers was played. It was a boring 3D clip - completely unchanged for years.

Cool leh~

So up the tower we went to the 41st floor where the bridge is located. Apparently, the bridge is held by large hydraulic shafts which allows it to move if the wind is strong. But it's safe, don't worry. We were only allowed to hang around there for about 15 minutes. The view was quite decent because it's a clear view that day. No haze.

What's there to do except...cam whore!

More, more!

On our way back to the mall, we were lead to a room with videos and games presenting interesting facts about Twin Towers and other towers in the world. But the information was not quite up to date. One interesting thing was:

Every 5 minutes or so, there will be a reenactment of a lightning strike on the Twin Towers. We waited patiently and watched the ridiculous video of a hypothetical storm taking place and finally...

Behold!

Cost: RM0 for going up the bridge + RM4 for parking.
