While there I took this photo from the floor my room was on, down to the lobby area on the ground floor. The plants were all real. It's interesting how the further away from the glass roof of the atrium the concrete takes on a green hue from all the plants.
Since posting yesterday's photo I've been poring over Google Maps of Kuala Lumpur trying to figure out where I took the photos. I recall I ate at the Station Hotel the night I was there and that I walked, so the put me somewhere in Chinatown.
Speedliter's Intensive! If you're going to be near those cities on those dates, I heartily recommend you register then call-in sick the day of. You'll be glad you did!
I didn't have a KL agenda, I was just passing through. One night in a doss house then a bus to Singapore. KL back in 1989 was under construction and that's what the image below shows - a string of shop fronts, the last vestiges of a trading street like the one I shot in Penang, being torn down for modern edifices in concrete, steel and glass.
On the right we have St. Paul's Church located at 56 Macalister Road, Georgetown, Penang. This church traces its history back to 1886. It's an Chinese language Anglican denomination church. This building was erected in 1930. Across the street, ie. behind my viewpoint, is a Roman Catholic Church.
Somewhere near Pekan Teluk Bahang, I captured this image of a fisherman, working on his gear.
