Kuala Lumpur


Ten days ago I went to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) with Jose and his friend Hector (another Mexican-American), who was working in China for a few months and came to join us in KL. I was impressed on how the city is developed and rich, I must confess I was expecting something poorer and less developed. Funny also that it is very Muslim, but modern, so I had been to Middle East countries before but it is the first one I see that is modern (I guess Dubai could be modern also). Anyway, I always feel very comfortable in Muslim countries, I don’t know why, people are always very friendly. Here is a pic of me in front of the Petronas Twin Towers, which is still the tallest twin towers in the world (now another building is taller in Taipei, but it is not a twin tower).

Hace diez dias me fui a Kuala Lumpur (Malasia) con Jose y su amigo Hector (que también es mexicano-americano y estaba viviendo por unos meses en China y vino juntarse a nosotros en KL). Lo que me impresiono es que KL es bastante moderna y rica, debo de confesar que yo esperaba algo mas pobre y menos desarrollado. También es curioso que sea un pais bastante musulmán y al mismo tiempo moderno. Yo habia estado en el Medio Oriente el ano pasado, pero allá todo es mas viejo y menos moderno (tal vez Dubai sea diferente, pero no he estado). De todos modos, siempre me siento súper comodo en los paises musulmanes, no se por que, la gente es muy amable. Aquí va una foto de mi frente a las torres Petronas, que todavía son las torres gemelas mas altas del mundo (ahora hay otro edificio mas alto, en Taipei, pero no es torres gemelas como Petronas).
