The next time you visit the PETRONAS Twin Towers...do like the (some...not all though) Japanese and Korean tourists do: Stand in the EYE of the Twins!


Yeah, you read it right. Eye of the Twins. What is, and where is exactly the 'Eye of the Twins' located?

Well... it is not that difficult to find the 'eye'. Just go & look out for the Philharmonic Hall. Then proceed to the main lobby on the Ground Floor. It is actually located right in between Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the twin towers. Now... look up above your head. You will see a huge, beautiful, expensive looking chandelier
hanging from the lobby's ceiling. Go right underneath this chandelier. Now... look down on to the floor.

You are now actually standing right in the middle of the 'Eye of the Twins'!

And what made those Japanese and Korean tourists flock to this very spot whenever they come into the towers? Why exactly do they do that? I had asked myself the very same question many times, so one day, after gathering enough courage, I went ahead and asked one of the tourists.

With such a genuine wide smile, the Japanese lady (whom I approached) explained they have heard (rumours? joke? gossip in X-File magazines? 'Ju-On' spin-off stories?) that the very spot is considered as the 'heart' or 'centre' of ENERGY of these twin towers. Now... who told them that? The actual fact is 'almost-quite-not-true'... right KLCC?.



And she continued... these two towers are like 'two-huge-tall-and powerful-antennas' that reach all the way from earth right to 'heaven'(sky) and thus retrieving all the 'positive energy' of the 'other world'(space). She then bowed, and gracefully and hurriedly walked back to her group and tried to squeeze herself in between her friends who had already stood and 'crammed' themselves in the small circle of the 'eye'. Talk about 'energy'...

Whoa....! You can imagine that my jaw dropped all the way to the floor while listening to the lady's explanation. Yes. Whoa! Whoa!! WHOA!!! Do I believe it? Do YOU?

Hi Sahar,
I suppose I am privileged to be working at the Towers. I think it's nice and kind of you to dedicate a website to the Towers. It was a nice surprise for me. Thanks, EllyB
