Petronas Towers

Although we were only passing through Kuala Lumpur it would have been a wasted opportunity if we had have missed their twin towers.

They were a lot more shiney than we had imagined. Sadly the building was closed so we could not go to the top. But heck, we've been to the top of so many of these "world tallest" buildings we kinda didn't need to.

The buildings and the waterfall grounds outside were really impressive. The towers were damn difficult to get a full shot photograph of which was confirmed by pretty much every Kuala Lumpur travel brochure we have seen (they also crop off most of the buildings).

The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from April 15th, 1996 until October 17th, 2003 when Taipei 101 (Financial Center) was topped out at 508m (1676ft).
