London bound via Kuala Lumpur

A 17 hour flight wouldn't be complete with a good stop over. We've done Changhai, now KL. Upon arrival you are greeted by the KLIA Express which will take you 28 minutes and not a second over to the city centre. Not the usual view we are all used to back in the UK...
Once at KL Sentral hop straight on the underground with your plastic coinage...
One step out the station and BOOM! Hello Petronus Towers! Remember mission impossible and the bridge scene, well this is it. 
An immense structure of shiny stainless steel that is cleaned daily to ensure it sparkles in the sun this is quite a sight...
At night the illuminations start. With a designated floor of staff to monitor and ensure the scrapers fill the city with an amazing show of light...
Dinner time at a Japanese eatery, Unfortunatly no Malay food in the finance district...
KL Tower in the background...
KL has some of the most amazing shopping and to say its extremely westernised would be an understatement...haven't seen a genuine one of these in a while...
Back on the tube for the journey to the airport. Not sweaty. Super aircon. Turned out that today was the grand opening of KL Airport 2 was opened; set to be the largest budget airline terminal in the world!
After a good nine hours of plane entertainment it was time to chase the sun over Europe with an amazing rise for the next three hours...
Touch down. Heathrow T4. Hopefully those bow & arrows, extra joss and enough clothing to open a shop will get through the green lane...
