Malaysia

An in-flight meal in the Malaysia Airline
I chose a fried chicken meal. (We had 2 choices)
Of course, I could drink alcohol as much as I like for free!!

KLIA(Kuala Lumpur International Airport)
Very modern and clean airport
It takes about 30 minutes from the airport to the center of KL by KLIA express.
(35RM for one-way ticket)
*1 RM = about 30 YEN (October, 2004)

Laksa
Popular breakfast for Malaysian people.
Chinese noodle in the curry with coconut flavored soup.
A bean sprout and shrimp were put on the top.
My friend recommends not to eat at night because it is usually cooked in the morning and keeps in the pan, so it may go bad...

CENTRAL MARKET
 This market is good for finding souvenir.
 They sell cloths, food, local things, and so on.
 Things are very cheap compared with Japan!!

PINK MOSQUE
 There are many mosques in Malaysia because main religion is Islam.
 This mosque is colored pink as you see, so it is called "PINK MOSQUE".
 The top of the mosque looks like onion, doesn't it?
It is prohibited to enter without shirt with long sleeves.
If we don't wear it , they lend us the long coat (like a poncho) colored pink.
