A personal view of Asia: 2012

Nothing much changed about the Petronas Twin Towers since I first visited it a few years ago. But around it, the topography changed some-what a lot. Now by paying a small fee, a visitor can go up to the TOP and feel the beauty of the skies!!!!!!!

This year, with in a month, I had an opportunity to visit the place twice. Once I went up to the top around 11 a.m and the second time, the last ride of the day, 8.30 pm. I thought I can spend a lot of time gazing at the marvelous steel structure gleaming in day-light and ALSO in the night with well planned electric lights.

When I first planned to visit in April, I was told about the tickets but I couldn't get much of information from anybody. So, with no second thoughts, I woke up my aunt and uncle early morning, got them into a cab and just posted myself in front of the office tower's door.

We found three ladies and a guy in the Q at the main door. Later we came to know that they were all travel agents or the agents' staff. They que up for tickets for their patrons. Each travel agent is eligible to get up to 10 tickets. Individuals can get up to 5 tickets.

Here we found out that some individuals are buying and selling tickets for a profit of RM10-RM15 depending on the time of the entrance - peak and off-peak.

When I visited the second time with 10 family members, we decided to take up one of the agents' service and got the tickets without quing up.

The management renovated the entire ticketing place and added a gift shop too! Its quite spacious and lighted.

Now tickets are available online.
