There's a Time to Be Tourists...

Since we have been here in KL, be have out and about the city trying to get a feel of the location geographically, but also culturally... here are some of the places we've been in the last couple of months...

Petronas Towers & KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center -- mall underneath)

This picture is for Nando (Lio's step-uncle)... this is a very popular Indian restaurant chain here in KL.

Menara KL
Menara in Bahasa (Malaysian) means tower... just like the needle in Seattle (only bigger)!

Malaysian's are totally into F1 racing... so here I am sitting (albeit, blurry) in a fake F1 car and playing a video game! ;-) Totally Malaysia! (not really...)

They also had a little zoo there... and they let us hold some of the animals!

My favorite part was that they had raccoons and squirrels as if they were exotic animals! ;-) Though when Lio's parent were in Detroit and KC, they were amazed to see so many squirrels! It was actually quite funny!

Snack Time!  Corn kernels with lots of butter!

Ha! I have a pic of me with a bird at this same spot. Except he's about a second away from pecking my eyeballs out in the photo. Not the bird's finest moment I'd imagine....or come to think of it...not my finest moment.
