To live on memories - Part 2 - Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is the capital and largest city of Malaysia.
I found KL as a city of contrasts full of skyscrapers, shopping molls and beautiful temples but from the other hand full of homeless, pure people on the streets. Please see pictures.

Osobiscie mi KL kojarzyło sie z wierzowcami takimi jak Petronas Twin Tower czy Menara. Na miejscu okazało sie, że to miasto kontrastów. Z jednej strony piękne bogate wierzowce, olbrzymie centra handlowe i cudowne bogate światynie z drugiej jednak strony to miasto pełne bezdomnych, biednych ludzi śpiących na ulicach.
Zapraszam do obejrzenia moich zdjęć.


Lets start from Petronas Twin Tower - are twin towers and were the world's tallest buildings before being surpassed by Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion.

Zacznijmy od tej lepszej strony miasta. Petronas Twin Tower - najwyższy budynek świata do roku 2004 kiedy powstał w Dubaju Taipei 101. Jednak jako wierzowiec bliźniaczy nadal jest największym na świecie. W sumie 88 pięter z czego dla zwiedzających udostępniono tzw. skybridge - pomost łączący dwa budynki na wysokości 42-go pietra.








View from Skybridge (42th floor of Petronas Twin Tower) on Kuala Lumpur City Centre Park:

The fifth tallest telecommunication tower in the world: Menara - Kuala Lumpur Tower

Menara - piąta pod względem wysokości wierza telekomunikacyjna na świecie.





Oraz inne cikawsze obiekty w KL.















And here is a second face of KL:

A oto i druga twarz KL. Bieda i ubustwo rządzo na ulicach.






And at the end something to cheer you up :)
WINTER PARK in Kuala Lumpur

Na zakończenie coś zabawnego. U podnurza Menary trafilismy na Park Zimowy. W 40 stopniowym upale stoja sobie pingwiny i niedzwiedzie polarne.

To live on memories - Part 1 - Bangkok

Early March this year we had a superb honeymoon in Asia. Unfortunately I've never had a chance to post-product pictures taken and present them. I think it's the highest time to do it so here they are staring from Bangkok.

Ancient City – Bangkok

Just outside of Bangkok in Samut Prakan province is the Ancient City, a spacious historical theme park that provides a good option for a day’s getaway from Bangkok. Featuring replicas of many of Thailand’s most important historic sites, The Ancient City is quite large, covering some 320 acres of land and is commonly billed as ‘the world’s largest outdoor museum’.
The Ancient City features 109 replicas of famous monuments and architectural attractions in Thailand.



Sumeru Mountain

According to Thai cosmology, Sumeru Mountain is Considered the pillar of the word as well as the center of the universe. The mountain, supported by Anondha fish, stays above the surface of the water. It is the residence of spirits ranging from deities in heaven to devils in hell. The beings living by the mountain side also include humans, naga, garuda, ogres, orgesses and yogi. Each of them is distinguished by wisdom and morality.
