I updated it with more pics from Malaysia!
And here are more too from the tabung masid negara - a rather large (and perhaps the national) mosque in Kuala Lumpur.
Wanna check out a mosque? Take a tour with me...Step 1: Lose the shoes but cover up with a purple robe.
This was at the entrance of the mosque...I forget what exactly it is. Sorry. That's what happens when you take too long to write things down.
The outside of the large prayer room.
The Muslim equivalent of a steeple
The prayer room. It's like a "chapel" I suppose but there's no minister. Everyone just goes there to pray. You're not allowed in unless you're a follower of Islam. Hmm....
A cool shot that Ben took :)
This doesn't exactly go with the rest of the pics (or maybe it does depending on how you look at things) but I wanted to make sure you saw the hose that is used instead of tissue....I carry my own tissue. Also, this was taken at the national park so it's a western-style toilet but many times you run into the stand-up style. Didn't snap a pic of that....sorry!
