SELAMAT HARI RAYA
THIS PLAYGROUND GOES ON FOREVER.
WOW. ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT HERE YESTERDAY.
Happy Eid al-Fitr. The day to celebrate the end of Ramadan. A new cycle begins. We walked over to the local mosque today to observe the celebration. Many men in there ceremonial gowns. Not too many women or children. Not too many women or children. No big potluck afterwards at the Mosque, but lots of hugs and photographs pf people with the Twin Petronas Towers in the background. Men were running through the KLCC park towards the Mosque to arrive on time for the sermon. The prayer message lasted about 10 minutes and then people started filing out of the mosque and back into the park. If the whistle-blower of the park was on duty they would have worn our their whistle. No whistle blower today. Not like yesterday. Eid al-Fitr. We found out where all the people go after the Mosque – to the KLCC shopping mall. Thousands of people were all walking around, snapping photos, not shopping, hanging out with friends and family. Many groups of young men just hanging out and enjoying the day. No frisbee. No music. No dancing. People watching. Later when we passed by the Mosque, nothing was going on. The playground was full of kids and people. Probably the one day like this. Thought of a movie where the parents would be following the kids on a crowded playground like this.
