The following day we headed to Chow Kit station and jumped on the monorail over to KLCC to investigate if going up the twin towers was possible. As I expected there was a three hour wait and an inflated fee of almost a hundred dollars for the four of us to spend 15 minutes up on the sky-bridge.
We headed through the park and over to the KL aquarium instead which was equally expensive but a bit more to offer for your buck. I've been to a lot of aquariums and this one was one of the more impressive, with the longest sub-aqua tunnel I've seen.
To follow: final day in KL

There was a large aquarium similar to that in Jakarta and what amused me about it was that right next door there was a huge seafood restaurant, it seems that seeing all those fish just gives Asians an appetite!We headed through the park and over to the KL aquarium instead which was equally expensive but a bit more to offer for your buck.

We were on our last afternoon so decided to give the Petrosians Science Discovery Center a look since it was educational and not a complete rip off to get in (53 MYR for all four of us). It turns out this was one of the best things we did - the place was huge and we ended up spending all afternoon there - plenty of interactive and educational activities for kids and adults. They even had a driver education and awareness centre where you could test your observational and driving skills - something that Thailand desperately needs!
The hotel tried to rip us off on an aiport taxi by double charging as it was early in the morning but I managed to book one online using www.go2klia.com which proved to be a cost effective and reliable service.
Having been to Malaysia three times now I think this will be our last - living in Southeast Asia you get to know the value of things and their worth which makes getting stung as a tourist at almost every opportunity in this country a little harder to swallow.

Thanks, as always, for the great pics
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Thanks for the comments - I won't do the full comparison as nothing much has changed from this one I wrote last year: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26342&start=31
I will say now though that after all of the draconian clampdowns and multiple price hikes it is now cheaper and easier to get a beer (and a wider variety) in Malaysia than it is in Thailand.
