March 8-9 - Soon after my trip from Thailand, I realized that I love traveling so I went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the weekend with my friends. Some of the best highlights of the trip were the Petronas Twin Tower, Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower or KL Tower (7th tallest freestanding tower in the world), and Batu Caves. It was my first time visiting Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. There were many mosques for Malays to pray and partake in religious affiliations. At the top of the KL Tower, I had an overview of the city and its park. I arrived one day before my friends so I took the extra time to visit the National Gallery Museum, several mosques, Chinatown, and the Butterfly Garden. At the Butterfly Garden, I had the chance to take close-up pictures of the butterflies. On the second day, we went to the KL Tower for the dinner buffet! The restaurant had a 360-degree rotation of the city. It was amazing to eat and chat with my friends, Kyle, Alan, and Wendy while enjoying the precious moment in Malaysia.
March 11- For the last day at Kuala Lumpur, my friends and I went to Batu Cave. This was a famous tourist site with rainbow color steps, a Hindu temple mixed with the backdrop of the limestone caves, and a large golden Hindu god. The hike up those steps was tiresome and strenuous, but once I got to the top, I had a spectacular view of the caves and monkeys playing around. After Batu Caves, my friends and I decided to go to the Aquaria KLCC, an aquarium to see the sea creatures. My favorite part was the underwater tube where I saw a wide range of animals such as sharks, stingray, turtles, fishes, and beluga whales. It was the perfect timing because they were feeding the animals and I had the chance to see something so rare.
