Kuala Lumpur


The third highest towers in the world, the Petronas Towers.





Bastian and I listening to a 3D movie in the Petronas Towers.

In the evening, we went to the night market in the Petaling Street.

And a nice bar with the Petronas Towers in the background.

Bastian is impressed by the huge rollercoaster inside a mall.
The next day, we went to a traditional wetmarket which was a unforgettable experience!

Weekend Trip to Penang - It is all about food!

Penang is a small island in Malaysia and famous for its good food!

After studying the map, we strolled through George Town, the capital city of the island.


In Penang it is a "must" to eat Durian. The Asians believe in the hot and cold effects of fruits. So in general it’s a good idea to eat Durian in combination with Mangosteen which has a cooling effect that balances out the heating effect of the Durian.
Eating some delicious Es Cendol, a traditional Indonesian desert which is also very popular in Singapore and Malaysia. I just love it :O)
After so much food, it is time for some golfing exercise.
While Bastian already looks pretty professional in what he is doing,...
... I am still struggling with finding the right technique.
In the evening we went to a cool restaurant with some live seafood!
Who volunteers to eat such a monster fish?
Some dried squid on the night market.
And of course some Durian again...
... Never before I have seen Bastian with such an enjoyable expression while eating food :O)))
