The weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur was great in every way. It was of course lovely to see my beloved husband Janne again, and get the opportunity to spend some time together. KL is a modern, clean, well-organized city which made me, a Phnom Penh citizen, feel like "the hillbilly cousin" on a visit (which I was, I guess). With numerous impressive shopping malls, multi laned highways and modern buildings side by side with old colonial and islamic architectural wonders and with a multi ethnic population, Kuala Lumpur comes across as both outwardly cosmopolitan and very Asian at the same time. Although, I must say that I kind of missed the "chaos" and "unpredictability" of Cambodia. One of the highlights for the two of us who has a big interest in architecture, was the many interesting buildings to admire.
More photos will follow, but as there seems to be a problem with publishing all of them in the same posting, you´ll find them one by one or in pairs, above.
