Climbing the Petronas towers

Hello.  I've just been to visit a very very tall building.  Look at these towers.  Aren't they enormous?


The towers are called the Petronas Towers and they are in a city called Kuala Lumpur.  Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia.  It's quite near the equator so the weather is very hot.

The towers are 452m high and there are 88 floors.  Adam, Robin and Grace's house only has two floors.  Do you know how many times you'd have to stack houses like Adam, Robin and Grace's house on top of each other to get a building as big as the Petronas towers?  You'd have to put 44 of them on top of each other. Wow.

I went right to the very top of the towers.  (Luckily there was a lift so I didn't have to get tired walking up lots and lots of steps.)  There was a very good view of Kuala Lumpur from the top.


I also went to visit this square in the centre of the city, called Merdeka Square.  Once upon a time, Malaysia was owned by Britain but now Malaysia has its own government.  The prime minister of Malaysia made a speech in this square to announce that Malaysia was going to be a separate country.


Here's one more picture of the towers.  I'm still amazed at how big they are!  I wonder what is the tallest building that Adam, Robin and Grace have ever visited?
