Malaysia - Day 5

TUESDAY:

• National Mosque
• Old Railway Station
• Tradition Dance Show
• Chinese Temple
• Indian food

My favorites from today were the dance show and the Chinese temple. The dance show was a bunch of different traditional Malaysian dances and even Brayden enjoyed watching. He especially liked the dance with big fans. He started screaming his guts out with excitement when they opened them up. Luckily the music was loud so I could barely even hear him :)

The Chinese temple was also very cool. I've been to a lot of temples and shrines, but this one was neat enough that I still enjoyed it. They had statues of all the Chinese Zodiacs and we all left smelling like incense from inside.

What a rat

Brayden's an Ox ... so is Steve, mom & Preston according to the years, but by exact date Preston (and probably mom) are rats.

I had to take a horse picture in Tribute to Dan, who's currently on a mission in NYC

Back in Malaysia - Day 4

Well, we said farewell to Hong Kong yesterday and made it back to KL. Here's some things I found interesting about Hong Kong:

• The traffic lights turn yellow before they turn red and before they turn green.
• The trains always say "mind the gap" because of their British influence.
• A lot of the Chinese there spoke more English than Mandarin. They all spoke Cantonese instead.
  
• It felt like being in New York.

We didn't do much yesterday other than coming back to Malaysia, but we still snapped some shots.
Also, I should mention that Brayden did awesome for this plane ride :) He slept at least 3 of the 4 hours. And he somehow managed to stay asleep through the landing, exiting the plane, putting him in his stroller and walking through the awful muggy heat. What a trooper!

There's something wrong with this-can you spot it?

C'mon Babe!

Brayden loved the dancing Sulley!

Typical castle picture :D

Brayden's favorite rides were Pooh and It's a Small World. He watched everything intently and got big smiles almost the whole time.

Riding Winnie the Pooh

Brayden would start fussing every time the ride ended. So we had to get a sad picture by "The End."

He loved Pooh so much, Grandy got him a Pooh stuffed animal that he absolutely loves.

Brayden likes the Chinese girls :)

Steves burger was as big as Brayden's head!

I decided that I should stay home from The Peak to put Brayden to bed in a decent hour because he's been getting so worn out, so it was just Steve & Preston who ventured out to the Peak. Here's the pictures Preston brought home:
