Catalogue of delights 2

Saw many schools inc special Sri Lankan dance school, school for blind, another for deaf mutes, Streets and pavements have rough surface strip so blind can feel the difference and so can walk for miles. Watched one person with his cane getting along at a fast pace. Saw historical railway ground level apartments - rare to see anything one or two storey. In fact my hotel city view amounts to a tall high rise office block. But to the left is part of the KLCC park. In the distance to left and right are hills. No daylight saving here and seemingly darkish after 7am although it maybe that the height of buildings and closeness makes it difficult for the light to penetrate. I thought of the Wall St like end of downtown Sydney and how little light gets down to street level. The average height of the KL buildings is probably double those. Big, Big, and lots of them.

  1. Never thought about KL and if I had, then I would not have though tall buildings and many of them. Thank goodness someone is travelling and showing us the world! Glad your first day and walking M was so good; what an inspired choice of activity.Off to Launie for Christmas salmon and pavlova supplies. XX Anon J
