M A L A Y S I A
Malaysia is a country that's very close in terms of distance & culture, yet it is one that's much too similar from where I live & was born in
that it felt more like a distant relation than a place to visit & explore fully.
I've hardly visited Malaysia October 2002. I've since visited Langkawi, Penang & Melaka. As there are lots to explore & discover.

Having said that, since my best friend was from Malaysia (she's a Canadian now) & my brother-in-law is also a Malaysian, this country holds a special
place in my heart. My foremost impression of this country is there are many nice & decent people here :) I may be biased, but as with all interactions
over the world, everyone can only speaks from his/her own experiences; & my experiences with the Malaysians have been great!
Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest building in the world until taken over by Taipei 101
TWIN PEAKS

For the majority of us, the insider's scope to the Petronas Twin Towers came from the movie "Entrapment". I must say
I remembered more about Catherine Zeta-Jones' curvature than the steel miracle of this architectural feat. Discovery
channel's telecast of a documentary on Petronas TT portrayed the competition between two construction firms (for
early completion). It was a very interesting documentary. If there's a repeat telecast, make sure you catch it!

Humans love to compete, don't they? It's a case of size matters! Now the tallest building in the world belongs to
Taipei 101. For 6 years, the twin Taipei 101. For 6 years, the twin peaks of Petronas were indeed the peak . For 6
years, the twin peaks of Petronas were indeed the peak of the were indeed the peak of the world. Not only did it
command the tallest spot work in, it also attracts world-renowned tenants like Microsoft, IBM, So, what's next? The
world is looking forward to the introduction of the airline by Airbus; the Airbus A380. Again, this has to do with size!
It's Airbus A380. Again, this has to do with size! It's supposed to seat 555  A380. Again, this has to do with size! It's
supposed to seat 555 . Again, this has to do with size! It's supposed to seat 555 passengers. passengers. The right
to fly this type of aircrafts belongs to Malaysia's though, Singapore Airlines; which incidentally has been voted many
times to be the best airline in the world! The race goes on & on ...airline in the world! The race goes on & on ...
