100 days, 33 flights, 22 cities in 13 countries and 50,000 miles or 80,000 km later, I just finished the ultimate 100-day self-planned travel extravaganza to Maldives, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, packed with amazing activities, such as snorkeling in Maldives & Great Barrier Reef, Zip trekking in Queenstown, Helicopter hike on top of Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, climbing Ayres Rock and Sydney bridge.
Twin Towers used to be the tallest building in the world. Even thought it longer is, the shiny silvery exterior together with the Muslim-inspired shape of the buildings make it very noticeable during day time. It is true that no matter where you go in KL, your eyes will always be on the twin towers because of the reflection of the sunlight. Don’t think the KL tower lost its sparkles at night. It became two huge spotlights that light up the whole city. The skybridge linking the two towers are open but tickets will only be sold each morning. People started lined up early, like 6:30am even though the ticket offices only open at 8:30am. I had a super quick breakfast at the hotel then took a taxi to Twin towers to line up for tickets. I have been to KL so many times and this is the only time that i managed to get up early enough to try to get the ticket. When i arrived at around 7:45, there was about 60 people in front of me. I was thinking, its alright. It shouldn’t take too long for the line-up because you cannot choose the timing of the visit. Then it should be easy. I thought they would pre-print all the available tickets and when each person arrived at the counter, they just exchange the pre-print tickets with money. No, i was totally wrong. They waited each person to the counter and then started the ticket printing process. It really took me 3 hours to get my ticket for 4pm to visit the skybridge.

I am actually excited because i actually lined up for 3 hrs to get my ticket. Check out the picture and video for the nice view i got up there. :-)
