Kuala Lumpur is a colourful blend of old British colonial influences,
multi-Asian traditions, Malay Islamic and natural religion inspirations, modern
and postmodern lifestyle mix. A busy town with trendy high-level architecture and
outmoded two-storeyed residential areas. Countless elegant skyscrapers where ever
you look. Architects from the entire world worked there and created buildings
with impressing glass and steel shells, the most prominent example being the
outstanding Petronas Towers. Life is busy floating through, business rolls on
and times are changing fast.
But still it is a purely tropical town. Moving around a corner
even in the very middle of the city centre, you unforeseen can find a vivid and wild variety of growing
trees and bushes. An old wall can transmute into an own opulent world of wonderful vivid
structures of unknown meaning for a western eye. Plenty of little creatures as ragtag birds and candy-striped
squirrels live there and unknown kinds of insects and spiders. They know much
better the hidden denotations of all these arms and branches, these mixtures and
amalgamations of boughs, roots and creeping plants. They know all the exact routs between them and up
and down to go. All I am reverential able is to be astonished and impressed about
this utterly treasure of tropical beauty.
