Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia XVII

Forgive me for the endless photographs of colonial buildings, but Kuala Lumpur has done a very nice job of preserving them. It is also one of the few places I have visited that was not destroyed by a war in the last fifty years. The Japanese ruled Malaysia during the Second World War as a colony, but left most buildings standing.

This one is called the Sultan Abdul Samad building. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public, but it is strung with lights that are switched on each evening. It is an amazing view, seeing the lighted arches pierce the nighttime darkness.
