First time in KL
- Malaysia -

I REALIZED how high that “thing” was when it became quite a pain the neck — literally.
I can’t say I didn’t have a clue what lay ahead of me during a trip to Kuala Lumpur a few months ago; interestingly, it was my first time in the Malaysian capital, covering a Yahoo! event.
KL is home to the mighty Petronas Twin Towers, and to remind first-timers they won’t miss it is probably best said with a hint of sarcasm. This truth was magnified further — perhaps, literally as well — because I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, located right beside Petronas, affording me a great view from my hotel room.
