Kuala Lumpur, that is! We left Hanoi - destined for Siem Reap with an overnight in KL. We arrive in the morning, checked in to our tiny Tune Hotel rooms, taking a taking into town.

Palm Oil Trees are as far as you can see. It's a controversial topic with Malaysians since old growth trees have been cut down to make way for corporate business in the bio-diesel. All available lands have been planted with the trees with no regard for the future, the effect on the environment and the balance of flora and fauna.
What's wrong with this restaurant sign??
Finally downtown KL, we shoot the flats with the Petronas Towers. They were once the tallest buildings in the world until Dubai took that title away a few years ago.

This mall is pretty elaborate with very high end shops and a well dressed crowd shopping.

| Another fabulous mosaic. |

| Petronas Towers and the flats. |
Nothing like a great mall atmosphere complete with beautiful lake and park, backdrop of the
Petronas Twin Towers.
 |
| Love this store name. |
 |
| A present for Tony? |
 |
| Roosters remind me of Leo... |
 |
| Christmas in October? |
Stopping in for a bit of ice cream before dinner!
Indian food at the mall was pretty darn good!!
 |
| dal, sauteed cabbage, lamb and naan |
Flight to Siem Reap the next day, as I was looking out of the airplane window, I realized the water outside were the flooded farm lands. You can pick out roads, some higher lands and trees. Looked tragic and disastrous.

Siem Reap international airport is fantastic! Artfully and tastefully decorated, new, organized and clean ~ nice!
