There is also a bus that other kids take but it was filled with other kids when our G-Kids arrived here in January so the school just added a van to take them and 7 other kids to school. Next year they'll probably ride in the regular bus.
Quite a school bus!!!
Then we went down to Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) with Amy, Dustin and Jamee (my son and daughter who arrived here late last night), our youngest grand-daughter Whitney and Melona, Amy's maid, who wanted to see Menara Kuala Lumpur, a tall radio tower that has an observation floor and a revolving restaurant.

It is 421 meters/1,380 feet tall. By comparison, the Sears Tower in Chicago is 1,451 feet. It was a pretty hazy day, as many are here due to the burning to clear rain forests in Sumatra across the straits (another blog another time), so the pictures from the top are not the clearest.
The complex of buildings with the yellow domes is the Royal Palace.

After we finished with the observation tower we went and had a buffet lunch at the revolving restaurant. They had very nice selections of dishes from each of the various ethnic groups in Malaysia; Malay, Chinese and Indian. And I did try a cooked Durian fruit dish, almost like a soup. The taste was definitely better than the smell of the fruit that you detect in the fruit stalls in stores. However, I still liked the western-style chocolate desserts better. There is no accounting for taste.
