Day 0: Exodus I

I arrived late as usual.

2 hours of sleep is the only thing separating me and a 6 hour long car ride.

Day 0: Exodus II

My ass is sore and my eyes have seen better days. It's kinda like tying bags of lead to your eyelids then tasing you awake just as you doze off.

Still, nothing compared to the mind and ass numbing, 17 hour flight from Changi to LAX last December.

All good.

Day 0: Iconoclast

We're no strangers to my religious convictions (or lack thereof) but not everyone shares the same sentiments (regretably so!)

And so I had an experience at a huge, and I mean gigantanourmous temple with a 20 ft (perhaps even bigger) by 12 ft stone Buddha statue. There were multiple wings and floors offering a plethora of prayer services for the devout and/or curious tourist. I got myself a family blessing and two amulets.

Oh did I mention? Holy water for RM1 per 500 ml.
