yeah i gis'd some pix of kuala lumpur cuz i thought its geography might work and was reminded of how amazing like any city can look if u photograph it from far enough away, the order and the beauty of the buildings and shit

There's a strange building on the left, a sort of cloisters with a clocktower in it. Doesn't look like a mosque or a church, maybe some sort of temple or monastery?

OK, think I got it. Not Asian:

What was confusing me was that that appears to be an aeroplane just to the right of the large white building in the centre foreground, but there was no runway. Google-mapping zelda's answer (how did you do that, btw?) shows that yes, there's a random aeroplane sitting outside the white building (the building is a museum, the plane is part of it).
