Putrajaya is a newer section of the city and a governmental area.  It's on the way to the airport, so we paid our cab driver a little extra to take us on a tour on our way to catch our departing flight.  It's nothing special, but the architecture is impressive.  I was constantly struck by how much more modern and manicured KL was than Bangkok.  They soom to put a lot of money into infrastructure while Thailand's funds seem to disappear into corrupt construction projects.  But that was just an impression.  I have no idea what causes the discrepancy, and I'm sure Malaysia has as much trouble with corruption as the rest of SE Asia. 

The coolest part of Putrajaya was watching a low-budget music video being filmed.  It was pretty amsusing.  I'll post a video.
