The Petronas Twin Towers are the world’s tallest twin buildings to date. They tower over almost everything and anything in KL.
The twin towers were featured in a few movies. The most notable of which was Entrapment. Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Remember that movie?
Was quite amused when I read this at a toilet in Sunway Pyramid’s new wing.
Waterless Urinal. Press to wash yourself only.
Press to wash yourself only?!?
Having spent most of my grownup life outside Malaysia, I have very vague memories of visiting many touristy sites around Kuala Lumpur.
It was time to get reacquainted. So I took a day tour around Kuala Lumpur.
On the YCAT bus to Narita airport. Ever chinese (lunar) new year, I make a trip back to Malaysia to spend time with family. Having lived overseas for most of my life, this is about the only time I fly back each year.
Do we even have milk seafood here in Tokyo anymore? Took this while on my last trip to Malaysia. Cup noodles for RM$6.90 a cup is pretty expensive by Malaysian standards. You can get more flavor for your buck at the hawker centers. ^^.
Nasi Kandar and teh (tea) ice. Nasi Kandar is a popular Malaysian dish which originated from Penang, an island state in northern Malaysia.
To buy Nasi Kandar, first you have to choose what rice you want. There’s steamed plain white rice and flavored rice, which is probably nasi biryani. Nasi means rice in Malay by the way. Once you have chosen your rice, side dishes are added to the plate; usually cucumber and pineapple is invovled. You can see it on the plate across the table in the photo. The next step is to choose the curries. There’s a variety to choose from, fish, squid, seafood, chicken, lamb, vegetable… The very last thing you should add to your plate is a sambal (chilli) egg. Some crackers are also thrown in too. The meal you see in the photo costs about ¥300. Pretty cheap if you deduct airfare. ^^.
You know how it got its name?
Malaysia isn’t known for her clean public toilets. However, there has been much improvement in recent years. This is probably a pretty average looking public toilet. In the left cubicle, unlike its distant Japanese cousin, the “hole in the ground” does not come with a “missile defence shield”. The washlet comes in the form of a rubber hose attached to a tap in the wall. I don’t recommend using the hose. Washlet ok. Hose no. Like Taro Aso once said on eigo de syabera naito, “it isn’t nice getting sick from the ass”.
I get pissed whenever I have to use a shitty toilet. ^^. My body feels the same way too. One step into dirty toilets and all urges are gone; it’s like nature just hung up on me. You too?
It’s been a while since I last used one of these urinals. Do you suppose these still exist in Japan? I don’t remember ever using one in Tokyo.
Can you get her sign for me ? 
Not on my MSc either ... ...
