Putrajaya, Malaysia

Putrajaya is a planned city, I would say: ideal city, located south of KL, that is the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from KL due to the overcrowding and congestion there. It is an ultimately extravagant, clean, high-tech area...that left me dazed. Amazing constructions, bridges, palaces, monuments, mosque, coffee places, etc can be found here. The palace of justice, the prime minister's office, the ministry of finance, the government offices...just to mention few. The houses in Putrajaya are residental houses for the government staff. I think I do not have to explain how those houses look like :) I will publish some more pictures about this city later. It is awesome! Inspiring! Marvellous! Grandious!
Putrajaya Kuala Lumpurhoz tartozik, de a miniszter irodaja, az igazsagugyi-, penzugyi-, vedelmi miniszteriumnak ad helyet, tovabba iskolak amelyek az itt dolgozok gyerekeinek van letesitve, gyonyoru kertek, hidak, viragkoltemenyek, kavezok es hazak az allam embereinek. Gondolom elkepzelitek milyen hazak ezek:)
Van meg rengeteg foto az en gepemen, kesobb meg teszek fel a kedvetekert :)

Thank you all and especially PT for taking me there! :)

Petronas Twin Towers- Kuala Lumpur


"Exotic Tropical Gardens. Dazzling Skyscrapers. Quaint Heritage Buildings. Explore A City Full of Surprises Where The Mood and Rhythm Changes From One Sight to Another. Stop. Savor. You'll Discover The Unique Charm and Appeal of Kuala Lumpur."

I enjoyed this day to the max! Visited the Twin towers (88 floors) that are currently the 2nd tallest after the Sears Tower (Taipei-101 floors). The Twin towers are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. The towers have a skybridge between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. The bridge is weighing 750 tons. The bridge is open to all visitors but only 1700 people are allowed per day. I was late. Anyway, I was not very sad :)
Meglatogattam a Petronas Iker tornyokat Kuala Lumpurban, amely 1998-2004 kozt a vilag legmagasabb epulete volt. 88 emelete van. 2004 ben a Sears torony elvitte a magassagi palmat, de meg mindig ez a vilag legmagasabb iker-epulete. Van egy hid (Egbolt hid) a 41 ees 42 emeletek kozt, de mar nem volt jegy mire odaertem. 1700 latogato mehet fel egy nap. Na mindegy, maradtam a foldon :D Nagyon elveztem bamulni ezt az orias uveg, beton, acel szerkezetet.

Enjoying the fountain. Van tobb kijarat az epuletbol. Vizesesek, kolosszalis irodaepuletek veszik korul. Ez a varos kozpontja. Ide nem szabadott volna beallnom...de mig az or nagy mosolyogva megkert, hogy lepjek ki a vizsugarak kozul addig pozoltam :D

Sooooo tall, is it?!
Olyan oriaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssss !!!!!!
Scary movie :D Trying my luck. Ez a thyranoszaurusz olyan elethunek tunt.
Fountain at the other exit... A masik kijaratnal vizsugar showt neztem. Olyan volt mint egy jol betanult modern tanc otthon a kulturotthonban. Staring at the twins... Hm, what a construction!
Focusing on the fountain to get a good shot. I am not a photo genius, therefore I am taking 100 pics to have one acceptable :D I am not too fuzzy about the settings, shutter speed, depth of field, aperture (as per BB's training). Noemi had a great time checking out the pics I took. She says, if there is a straight palm tree in the horizon, this poor tree will be tilted on my picture :D Of course am not this bad! I guess.
Noemi mindig jokat kacagott a fotoimon. Kb 100-at kell fenykepezzek, hogy egy jo legyen. Meseltem neki, hogy gyerekkoromban a macskat akartuk a testveremmel fotozni es amikor a kepeket elohivattuk anyu kapta a gutat. Voltak fenykepek amiken volt peldaul egy villanydrot. Itt a tesom a naplementere koncentralt. Gondolom, de csak gondolom:DDDDDD a koncentralasi ido addig tartott, hogy a nap mar reg lement. Aztan voltak olyan fotok, amin egy szeklab volt. A macskat akartuk fotozni, de mar elment :D Aztan volt olyan foto, amin volt egy macskafarok. Gondolom a cica sietett. Voltak olyan fotok is, hogy egy nagy huvelykujj eltakar mindent. Jaj, anyu milyen ideges volt. 50 fenykepbol 10 volt jo. Es gyakorlatilag minden fotot meg kellett magyarazni :D Na az alabbi foton koncentralok a vizsugar showra. Rancolom a homlokom erosen :D

The tower is an office building for companies like IBM, Reuters, Al Jazeera, Boeing, Microsoft, etc... On the first couple of floors there is a shopping town. Az epulet belsejeben egy csodas bevasarlokozpont van. Minden amit elkepzeltek az ott bent megtalalhato. Az epulet eredeti kuldetese: irodahaz. Mindenki kosztumben van es nyakkendoben, stb. Olyan mint egy amerikai film :D Staring...

After a very good meal still staring with a huge tummy! :D Jo nagy a pocakom ebed utan...de olyan szep volt minden...csak bamultam :D

:)
Truly Malaysian Cuisine!
Bye bye for now...

Shangri La _Oh la la!!! 5 star weekend!

The Shangri La's Eros hotel is located in the heart of Delhi, behind the parliament. We have spent a day and night in this awesome hotel. Spa, outdoor jacuzzi and all kinds of nice stuff (pizza a la home :), fruit platters, drinks at the poolside.

Egy ot csillagos hotelben toltottunk egy napot, ejszakastol :) Szuper volt. Amikor megkerdeztuk, hogy poker kartyat kaphatunk, hogy kanasztazzuk azt mondtak: kerjuk adjanak 5 percet es hozzuk :D Aztan a szekrenyben volt egy vasalo amire fel volt irva: kellemes vasalast!!! es sved masszazst kertunk, ahol az elso 3 perc utan mind a ketten horkoltunk. Na de nagyon jo volt!







Hmhmhm...
Koszi a szuper hetveget Noemi.

Lotus temple/Qutub Minar Delhi

We organized a cultural program on Friday morning, having many plans...
Finally we reached to Lotus temple and Qutub Minar.
The first one was very beautiful but it was 48 C degrees in shadow therefore we were quite fed up. Second is the tallest brick minaret in the world and an important example of the indo-islamic architecture. We got to see this from outside only :D

Pentek reggel eleg kultura hianyunk volt. Nem tartott sokaig :D Mar lattuk az India gate-et, a parlamentet, a vedelmi-, penzugy-, kulugyminiszter hazat, tehat ezek mar nem voltak erdekesek. A Lotus templom nagyon szep volt csak eppen 48 fok volt. Nagyon agressziv malacok lettunk a melegtol. En napszurast kaptam, Noemirol dolt a viz. De szep volt...csak nem birtuk a meleget.





After finishing the cultural program we headed to City Walk, the most admired shopping center in India in the last 2 years. Hmmmmmmm, that was something fabulous!
A Qutub Minart kivulrol tekintettuk meg es utana futas shoppingolni :D

...

Packing...packing for 5 days in Noemi's apartment. I enjoyed it at the beginning. It was adventurous to see the chaos around us. We are all the time busy searching the scissors and the tape since we cannot find anything due the mess we have created! Boxes, papers, bubble film...special Indian souvenirs, carved elephants, sandalwood scented sticks... Same questions again&again: have you seen the scissors? Where is the tape? Have you seen my phone? Where is the remote control?
As the carton boxes are multiplying and the messy view is diminishing, I have this weird, sad, stunned revelation: she is leaving India! Then I chase away the thought and say something stupid which makes us laugh. She is a rock music fan... Diamond District roars of rock as we pack up her things............
To finish her Indian project in style and sign off our friendship we agreed to visit the Taj Mahal this week. I was waiting for this since I was a kid. I do not know why. At that age I was unaware where exactly India is, to not mention the Taj Mahal. I just felt I want to see this masterpiece that I have seen in a book...that was built in memory of the beloved...
I would have never thought I will see the marble mausoleum and after this I will have to say goodbye to the person who saw my soul many times and became friend with it. She goes to Vietnam. I go to Malaysia for a week and return to India to continue what I have started...alone. Mixed feelings...indeed! I have the feeling that life is only one sentence, but we can not say what it is. The big meetings, the close-to-soul moments were always the ones when I started to love someone. The real miracle of friendship is when sometimes we feel a moment worths more than a year...
Gosh, I could write till the morning...but will stop now.
See you next time.

Pakolunk Noeminel 5 napja es csak a hangos rock zene es kacagas hallatszik az F67-bol. Ha latnatok mi van a haz kozepen :D
Mindketten furcsak vagyunk...es nem akarunk arra gondolni, hogy meg csak par nap! Osszeszoktunk "messze idegenben":)
