Singapore





The view from the Maria Bay Store.
We were all just waiting for the Lightshow.







This was in Chinatown. It was kind of a shopping mall, but it had only those booth, which had all basically the same stuff (it was still very cool)



From the front you usually dont see how many air conditioners a building has.


Maria Bay Garden


The next day, we walked the same route we did the night before. It was more spectacular in the night.



They build this concert hall, imitating the fruit Durian. I have never tried it, but it is supposed to be really smelly since, it s prohibited to take it inside the hotels and the MRT (their metro).




We went on the Sentosa Island, which is where the Universal Studio is. We just walked around the Island, since the adventure Park was too expensive.

On our last evening, we went on top of the Maria Bay Hotel. It has an amazing view =)


Melakka

Melakka used to be an important city, but now a days it has only a 100 Musuems (of how it was a century ago)
We stayed 2 nights, but the Hotel was the best one of the whole trip =)





Like every place in Asia, it is full of Temples. We went to almost all of them in the centre. 







The first (and last) Church we saw in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur

We stayed for 3 nights in Kuala Lumpur



The famous Petronas Twin Tower. Highest buildings of the world until 2004


The KL Tower.


The night view was quiet spectacular. Eventought we have been walking the whole day, and our feet were hurting go back to the Towers was totally worth it!


Since we booked our hotel withour breakfast, we went to a food court. There are plenty of food courts in Malaysia. You would go there to eat, and many different shops offer their menu. So everyone could find something they liked.
On our second day we went to visit Batu Caves. You had to walk up 272 steps to get there and try to pass the monkeys which would steal anything that had resemblance to food or drink.













Before going up to the Petronas Tower we went to see the Thean Hou Temple. It a pretty far away from the nearest monorail station, which we really had not expected, since on the guide they did not mention the half an hour walk up hill...






In Chine they put dragons on top of the roof to protect the building. So the more it was important the more dragons it got.



This was on the Bridge at Level 43 of the Twin Towers
