Malaysia

Bari, Dennis and I went to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia over the weekend. We had a great time! We stayed in a hotel in the heart of Chinatown, and it was a little dive, but comfortable, clean and cheap....about 20 bucks a night. During the day, we went to Bucha Cave, a little ways past the city. It is a Hindu temple, and there were over 212 stairs leading up to the cave. I have to admit, I do not know much about the HIndu religion, but I DID learn that the two main gods can be both a man and a woman...go figure. We also visited the Muslim Mosk in the city, after walking around for quite some time looking for it. We even got to dress up in a hajab and gown while we visited the mosk...it was very interested to say the least. The mosk was beautiful, and we also went to an Islam Art Museum and that was pretty informative for me. I learned a lot about both of these religions this weekend. After we did that, my favorite part was having dinner at the KL Tower, on the 45th floor. It was kind of like the Space Needle, the restaurant revolved to see the whole city at night. It was beautiful! Then on Sunday, we walked around the city and got to go in the sky bridge on the two tallest towers in Malaysia, and I think in Asia in general. I am not a big fan of heights at all, so it was a tad bit scary for me! But I am glad I did it, for sure!
