Bookfest at KL Convention Center


I WANT TO HAVE A TOUCH & FEEL OF THE 2011 BOOKFEST. I have never been to one and so I am interested to find out what it's all about.

I get to the KL Convention Center which is next to KLCC by LRT from Bukit Jalil. I will not say the signage and directions in the stations are atrocious but they are not illuminating and user-friendly.
Anyway. It's ok that I have to change stations at Masjid Jamek because of 2 different operators but one has to cross the street to get on the next train. Of course the street is chock a block and perhaps a "god's breakfast" is a better description; but hey, we are in the boleh-land so to speak.

I find the following carpet motifs interesting.....




Just outside KLCC I take these pic's of the twin towers.



The following pic's are taken of the twin towers from inside the convention center. From some visual angles one has to say the skyline is impressive. I do find the KL skyline looks "much better" in 2011.




Anyway I buy a few books at the Bookfest that I think are interesting read for me and cart them all the way back to Serdang by LRT again. Next challenge:- am I going to cart them all the way back to Australia? Aiyah.

Think we will visit Taiwan next year. This guide book seems to have interesting insights into the country. "Managing the dragon" gives practical insights for an entrepreneur or a down-home tourist who needs to navigate the fascinating and often bewildering colossus of a country like China. Should be useful for me who wants to visit China more in depth next year.


日子再苦我还是原来的我 says it all. Never lose my true self. Should be a good read.
这一辈子一定要出走一次, 这是【人】过的生活啊!

At Masjid Jamek I take a pic of this mosque which has got black domes. Can't figure this out.
