A visit to say farewell.
I will never know where we will all end up. Here is a trip i would have enjoyed more in other circumstances.
KL was more business than pleasure. Three weeks of technical stuff i would rather discuss in another topic in another lifetime. The free time i had was spent in solitude. I do not know if i will ever be back again; if
i do visit this place again, plan it to be more of pleasure with close friends. Then again, things might have worked out for the better. Will find out soon. The sun does not shine here as it does in manila. Taking the kind of photos i am used to was as difficult as shooting in the rain. But i had fun shooting when i could. 
The petronas Twin tower is a beautiful site. It took me two weeks and a couple of visits to the Suria KLCC mall before i could finally take photographs. The building is magnificent. Up close, its just so huge and covered a large portion of my viewfinder. An organized stack of glass and stainless steel, up in front of my eyes.
No visit to Kuala Lumpur is complete without visiting the central area. Here, you can get lost and find your way to familiar places. Well, sort of. Chinatown, Little India, a few filipino voices here and there... eateries on the sidewalks. All of these, a walking distance from each other. Of course, St John's Cathedral is also in the vicinity.

How could i ever get by without transport? Eight LRT lines and fleets of bus, and if you cant find one nearby, there's always the teksi. Honestly, transport is affordable, but i did the walk when i could. KL Sental is here. All the LRTs and trains that make up the transport system is in one location.
The world's tallest flagpole is here in KL also, just across the street of the Supreme Court on Jalan Raja. The Supreme Court is decorated with lights, and when you visit it at the right time, see how really nice the lights blend in with the building and the sky.
A few minutes away from the business centers, The Batu caves were not as far from KL as i had imagined. The long walk up the flights of stairs werent as hard either. But the visit was pleasant. I felt peace and solitude.
I did not get a picture of the Menara KL. I purposely left it out. Something to come back for, and more.
Leaving KL was with a heavy heart. Life in another country where not many friends are around tend to bring out the adventure and survival instincts in a person. Bringing into mind that there is a purpose in all that you do. But the choices are yours. What you decide now will affect your future in all its fate. Trust your heart because it will bring you places.
