We took the commuter train into Kuala Lumpur today to say hello to the very
shiny Petronas Towers. We couldn't go up as they had sold out of tickets but
we did their monster shopping mall and then went up the nearby KL Tower
instead (a telecoms mast a bit like the CN Tower in Toronto but bigger).
Later in KL we did the Buddhist temple of Thean Hou which was a very silly
confection of pagodas and dragons but some devotees seemed to take it
seriously.
Back to Port Klang for dinner and we took the dinghy a short way to a
tumbledown restaurant built on stilts in the mangrove across the river. We
ordered a few things including a fish which I'm sure we saw being caught to
order by some lads off the rickety jetty we had just tied up to.
