KL, October 13, 2010
In the morning we went to the museum which housed some stone age tools. He museum traced the history of Malaysia from prehistoric times to the post-colonial period. Following that we went to see the Butu cave. Interestingly, the cave was located on a small hill. On needs to climb about 300 steps. The cave now houses a Hindu temple. In front of the cave is a large statue of a Hindu god, Murugan. It is a huge statue, some 300 feet high. Quite impressive.
While KL and KK (Kota Kinabalu) are both in Malaysia, the attitudes were completely different. In KK people friendly, eager to please. TV commercials tried to convince us how people in Malaysia are full of smiles and are welcoming. Just as well they had the commercials. Even the hotel doorman would not smile, greet or offer help with anything.
