Unfortunately the day that we visited Kuala Lumpur...

Unfortunately the day that we visited Kuala Lumpur, the city was covered by a thick cloud of smoke, due to a big fire (the stupid human activity of burning the rain forest) happening in the neighbor country of Indonesia. It was so bad that the authorities were giving anti pollution masks for free. We left the hostel, and we found ourselves in a surreal world, where the visibility was incredibly scarce and ash was falling from the sky. It looked like a horror movie set. Very sad.

Fortunately, by the time we reached the majestic Petronas Towers, the air condition got much better, and we were able to see them in all their splendor. Kuala Lumpur has an amazing skyline and ,for sure, is one of the favourite places to visit, for those who love modern architecture. If I'm not mistaken, they hold the title of the tallest twin towers in the world, and they are very easy to recognize due its unique shape. Two modern skyscrapers featuring an Islamic kind of architecture. A visit inside the complex was forbidden that day, still because of the haze. Hopefully soon we'll be back in KL so that we can do a proper tour of the towers.

Even though we only saw them from outside, it was still an awesome experience!

PS A special mention goes to the pyrotechnical show that the fountain in front of the towers offers. It happens every day, when the night comes, and it's very fun to watch.
