Petronas Towers Photos

In case anyone missed them, I re-edited the "Being a Tourist in KL" post to include some photos.

I thought the SARS can was hysterical. . .

Pics of your sis and you on the beach were awesome. The rock formations were really unique.

Hope your still having fun.

Sorry . . .technical difficulties.
BTW, the engineer geek in me needed to point out. . . the petronas towers are kinda cool in the fact that they use double decker lifts (I.e. one on top of each other going to even and odd floors respectively). They actually go fairly fast, but not as fast as some of the high rise you are used to (I.e. the Pan Am building in nyc is 2000fpm where Petronas is only 1400fpm in the high rise bank).

OK, enough lesson for today!

Love ya

Leave it to the elevator engineer to geek out on us! haha.

These pics still do not beat the bug farm ones.. I mean, giant bugs are way cooler than giant buildings.

Liz,

THey actually mentioned the double decker thing on the tour, which was pretty interesting. They also mentioned that they go faster than most other elevators because of the extra generators they attached or something? I forget exactly now. They mentioned they go really freakin fast.

Snazzy,

I just missed you. I'm in Melaka now with Helga the Viking. We're heading to Singapore tomorrow. Cameron Highlands were excellent. Stay at Father's Guesthouse. It's very social and chill and CHEAP.
