KUALA LUMPUR

The airplane left Tokyo at 11:30 p.m.
Then I arrived in Kuala lumpur at about 6:00 a.m.
In the airplane, all seats were reserved because of Independence Day.

So, I wonder where to go.

But, my money was all in Japanese Yen.

I must exchange it to Malaysia Ringgit.

I exchanged 2,0000 Yen to 710 Ringgit.

On second thought, I spoke English after a long time.

I couldn’t speak English well.

I said “Please, exchange, Yen, Ringgit.” but the clerk understood my words.

I realized that my poor English was understood.

Next, I got a SIMcard.
I needed it to use map app.
The price was about 40 Ringgit.
At the store, I noticed difference of service in Malaysia.
In Japan, if we buy something at a store, the clerk take too polite attitude.
(If we don’t give a tip, they do so. The problem is what they don’t receive wages for taking polite attitude.)

SIGHTSEEING AROUND THE CITY

The center of Kuala Lumpur is 50 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
So I took a train.

I saw many palm trees from the window.

After 30 minutes, I arrived at KL Sentral Railway station.
It was too big.
I was lost a little…

In the city road, I felt unique smell of Southeast Asia.

Breakfast was this.

Chinese steamed buns.

I went to a temple of hindoo.

It was very solemn.

Malaysia Flag

In the city, there were many national flags of Malaysia.

Maybe it was because 31.08. Independence Day.
Malaysia is the nation of Muslim, but ethnic Chinese and Indian are in.
What is the meaning of different races hoisting the national flag?
I thought Nation was bundle of different races in Malaysia.
I can see a meaning of freedom.

On the other hand, Japan is single ethnic nation.
What is the meaning of national flag in Japan?
In a sense, it maybe mean intolerance and control, I think.
