Visiting Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, or not . . . . .?

Being in Kuala Lumpur I couldn’t resist and visit the Twin Towers. Won’t bother you with hight, building time, because all of that you find easy on the internet. But you may believe me, it’s high ! But it seems not tall enough, so now they are building a taller building and it’s blue. But that one is not ready yet.

You see the Twin Towers almost anywhere in the centrum, in real or reflected in another building. And the sun, it’s 35 degrees Celsius, makes them shine in daytime, lights take care of that at night.

After visiting such a building I always feel a little unsatisfied. Sure the views are impressive but that’s what you expected. But not going up leaves me with a kind of “ who knows what I have missed” feeling. And not to forget all the people that, when you're home,  keep asking "Have you seen the  Twin Towers and visited them?" And when saying no, they tell me  " You should have, it's great!".

Where I get these thoughts? I wrote this near midnight on the Singapore airport with a long trip ahead! So if this sounds like nonsense I think i’m excused . . . .
Am I famous or is it the view they're after?
Oh, yeah, it must be me . . . .

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
