Hard to find…old pics of KL

Last Sunday, I went to the Borders store in Berjaya Times Square while waiting for a movie. Then, when I browsed through books, not on architecture, but on travel section.

Of course, all these old pictures above are not in high definition or resolution, because there are so such technology yet at that time the pictures were taken. Here below, comes the final picture of the post, the current modern KL city. Click on it for the full size image which is in high resolution. Too bad all the pictures here are not mine. I swear I’m going to take one soon…

Let me tell you something, everytime when I’m on the flyover or higher roads which enable me to have a look at the beautiful skyline of KL, I will not miss that chance. I won’t get bored of looking at it. It just impressed me…I like to see skyline not only of my home city, KL but also other cities around the world. One of my interests…
