Trip to KLCC

Half term school holiday and kids have been at home for the last 3 days. We decided to take them for a trip. For many tourist, KLCC Twin Towers is one of the main attractions in KL. In our previous trips to KL, going to KLCC was at the top of our 'to do' list. In our previous visits, we went to KLCC several times, to visit PetroSains or simply for sight-seeing but when you virtually live next to KLCC, you start to see it with a different perspective.

It is like when we were living in the UK. We barely visited the 'tourist' spots. We only went to Marble Arch, Buckingham Palace or Hyde Park because we happened to be there. It's like on our way to Regent's mosque for a talk or on our way to a March or when I had to renew my passport and Buckingham Palace was just round the corner. It's like the buildings is just part of the scenery, part of life but not the main attraction itself. I mean KLCC is primarily a shopping mall but it's got other attractions like PetroSains (like an educational science fair for kids) and the Aquarium. The PetroSains is interesting for the kids. They can play with the exhibits and entrance fee is reasonable.

I wonder if that is how it is like for people who live near the beach like the fisherman and his family. The children playing by the beach everyday, that is just part of their everyday life. It is not a 'holiday' or 'main attraction'. Or for those people who actually live near the Kaabah...like performing Umrah is a weekly activity.

Anyway, the kids were very excited to go on the LRT (something like an over-ground tube). In fact, the LRT ride itself was sufficient for them. We stopped at KLCC. Hubby wanted to go up to the twin tower bridge but unfortunately, there's limited ticket and you have to queue up at 8am to get one. So, we decided to just have a peek at the towers from ground level, we had A&W and ice-cream...hmmm...soursop flavour and bubble-gum. It was interesting. Then, we caught the LRT home.

That was the highlight of our holiday and of course, balik kampung...(the best thing about living in Malaysia)
