If there's one thing Britain does best, it's instilling its culture and institutions upon over peoples, for better or for worse. All around the world remnants of the British Empire remain.

Downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Woah this pic is really good!It's such an exotic place to me, and the remnants of the British Empire add a touch of mystery.. it makes me wonder the story of this place,its attractiveness for Europeans..
I think it must look even greater when the weather is sunny or in summer... but this is good anyway, seems that British left also the typical weather there! :D

Actually, it was incredibly humid that day, Malaysia being in a tropical climate - so it's not dreary British weather - maybe they only left the clouds there ^_^ But yes, it would look nicer if the sky was clear.

I'm glad you like this picture, because historically one of the most interesting things to me is European colonialism, having been born in a former British colony myself, and living in a different one now ^_^ Malaysia is a particularly interesting place, architecturally, because there's mix of colonial, Islamic, and modern. Thanks for your wonderful comment! :hug:

Yeah, I love to travel, and I'm lucky enough to have been quite a few place, but, not enough! ^_^

Marine, you really are very sweet, for the wonderful comment, the favourite, and for just being *you*! :smooch:

O yes, framing is *fun*! :D

I'm so glad you like it, it's a lovely comment! :hug:
