Malaysia - Kalula Lampur

Hello there my dear followers. It's been a while since I blogged so I'm gonna try and fill you in on the missing time. Our time in Malaysia was full of activities. We arrived in Kalula Lampur (KL) via bus and stayed on the campus of Malay University. The university has its own hotel named Rumah hotel.

Malaysia is primerely an islamic country. Mosques and prayer rooms are pretty much everywhere, hotels, airports, gas stations, etc. We visited a mosque in a newly developed complex called Putrajaya. This area is about 11 years old and the newly build mosque is a, well, huge. We saw many visitors there and talked to a guide who, by her physical appearance, reminded me of women from Srebrenica. She wore a colorful hijab (head covering) and smiled as she talked about the newly build mosque and her relationship with islam. Women in Malaysia are gorgeous, even though most of them cover their hair, their faces and smiles are innocently beautiful. While in KL we went to the Pataling Street (I think I spelled that right). This is a typical tourist place. People shop and eat, then shop some more. The very good fakes that are sold here are VERY cheap. Whats more fun here is hackling and bargining. I bought things that I don't know if I'll need.

We also visited Batu Caves (google it). It's a "cave" dedicated to the hindu religion represented in Malaysia. There were 272 steps we needed to climb to get to the top and monkeys, who make themselves at home, decided to get really close and scare few tourists away. I must admit I got little jumpy as well.

Our next experience is Taman Nagara, a tropical rain forest 2 hours away from KL. Until then...

Peace, Love and Travel
