"On our way home" - In KL

Hi,

We are in an internet cafe in KL after a long, sleepless, flight from Istanbul and Dubai. Aircraft way full of KL bound Arabs and their noisy kids. We couldn't identify the parents, all the women were wrapped up in black and veils. We lost 5hrs in the trip, so our body clocks are a little screwed. Will be heading off to the shops shortly. KL has many of those to offer.

We visited Petronas towers this morning when we first arrived from the airport, approx 9.00am. All the tickets had been handed out for the day and the queue was enormous. They look like they send one lift load up at a time and then wait until it returns with the load. There are only 1700 tickets issued per day and it seems to take all day to work through them. To get a ticket we have been told we need to get there at 5am or 6am. We are going to pass on that this trip.

Looking forward to getting back to Melbourne on Tuesday. See you soon. Stay safe.

Lv Julie and Frank.

PS. David, Thanks for the comment on the strobe effect. The amazing thing to me was that I saw the effect 'before' I took the photo. The view through the lcd display had halted the image. Digital camera must refresh the image constantly, at a high speed. Talk soon.
