Putting the "KL" into "Donkey Bile"

I don't like Kuala Lumpar very much.

That's an understatement. It's like an amalgam of all the worst bits of every other city: the brashness of Bangkok; the impersonal rudeness of London; the congestion of New York; the stink of Venice; the twisty disorientation of Dubrovnik - it's even got Manchester's drizzle.

One thing it has got going for it is the Petronus Towers. Especially at night when it's all lit up. Dominating the skyline like a pair of mutant, space-age, super loofahs, surrounded by their henchman of bats and palm trees.
