D and Tracy were coming into KL by train from Singapore. They had travelled a ridiculous amount of time to get to KL ASAP to see our beautiful faces. After hugs and greetings were exchanged, we all collapsed on our bunk beds to share some travel stories before heading out to enjoy the city.
The number one priority in KL was agreed upon: the Petronas Towers. We found out that they give away free tickets to visit the bridge connecting the two towers every morning. We took a walk to the towers the next day and secured four tickets to go up to the bridge at 6pm that night. Our thought was that there would be better light at that time of day for picture taking. Turns out that no sunset can be seen because of the other big buildings in the vicinity and no good pictures of the city could be taken because of the lack of clean windows to see out of. So with a total of 15 minutes left in the corridor linking the second tallest buildings in the world which are owned by some of the richest people in the world (Petronas being Malaysia's largest oil company), what is a girl and boy to do ?? Corporate espionage!
About two and a half minutes were spent trying to read office computer screens through the camera lens from the bridge. But we soon found other ways to entertain ourselves (see picture below).
All of us were quite excited to be going up the Petronas Towers!
With the first priority completed, it was time for the second... travel planning at Starbucks, a Jason and Corinne tradition! There was a silent but deadly battle of the islands going on (ie. which island to visit for our beach time in Thailand) and a Chai Latte was much appreciated for this discussion. Look at the happy beautiful faces below!
Ok, maybe only three beautiful faces. Not sure what went wrong with D's face.
So plans made (roughly), we made a last walkabout in the city and got ready for our next day's flight to Phuket! But not before getting caught in a torrential downpour rain in Chinatown.
Jason and D playing in the puddles. Actually THE puddle or perhaps river might be a better term. Jason actually just lost his flip flop and is chasing it onto oncoming traffic. Good thing we have a camera for these moments.
And so, off to Thailand we go, in search of sun, sand and rum-buckets!

Apparently corporate espionagae isn't your thing, since you're coming home broke and jobless.
In your jumping picture it appears as though Tracy is doing her best Madonna impression. Kind of strange.
