Thursday January 17
We arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last night and have today gone up the second tallest tower in the city as well as visiting the tallest - the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.
The Petronas skyscrapers were the biggest buildings in the world from 1996 until 2003 - although they are now dwarfed by buildings in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong.
At a whopping 452 metres tall they make London's newest tower The Shard look tiny. The new building in London is 'just' 310 metres high, with 95 floors.
We have also visited the aquarium in Kuala Lumpur.
