That Luang - Vientiane Laos

The golden stupa of That Luang is the National Symbol of Laos.
It can be seen on bank-notes, T-shirts, and school badges everywhere.

Jalan Pudu KL from my hotel room

Jalan Pudu from my room at Tiara Inn Hotel

Notice train leaving Pudu LRT station

This station was featured by name in the 1999 movie Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Although Bukit Jalil station was actually used in the movie, the sign showed 'Pudu' instead of Bukit Jalil. Apparently this was because Pudu was the easiest mass transit station that could be pronounced properly by Sean Connery (Source: the following Wikipedia article)

The street was quiet as it was a Sunday
