Towering skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built and five-stars hotels sit just metres away from ancient reefs. For example, The world's tallest freestanding twin towers that is situated in the Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC). It has 88-story towers and 1,482 feet above the city skyline. It is also connected by a sky-bridge on the 41st floor. The sky-bridge is open to public from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm. It takes 41 seconds to shoot up to the midpoint of Petronas Twin Towers. Tickets to the skybridge run out fast, but it is not every day that you can get to feel on top of the world.

multiculture

In a nut shell, the State Governments in all country are now, also busy in developing the places of tourist interest in their respective States. They are planning to bring about new schemes for effecting tourist complexes by joining a number of tourist spots by means of road-link, bus-service and much more. It is hoped that tourism in all country will highly develop by the combined efforts of the Central Government and the State Governments. We as citizens should work together with governments in an effort to develop and expand the tourism sector of our country and not just sit around and watch the governments do all the work by themselves. With this collaboration between governments and citizens, our country can move forward to be came a better country in the future and can sit at the same level with other developed countries around the world. In other words, our country’s name will be well-known in the universe. "Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone" by Lance Amstrong. So, see the world. It is more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask for no guarantees, ask for no security.
