Today is my last full day in Malaysia. Luckily, my ATM card along with my passport was in my moneybelt yesterday. So I can still get money.<\/p>\n
I met up with my friend and we started walking and walking. We walked to the Yuen clan shrine. Then we decided to walk to a Chinese Temple. On the way, we noticed a big fence and a big door which was unlocked. We walked in through the door to find a nice garden. Then we surprised a security guard because we just entered the backyard of the king of Malaysia, Istana Negara<\/a> (National Palace). I think it is the guy who appears on all the money here. So we went out through the back door again.<\/p>\n Continuing on, we see a sign to a temple. It is a different one to what we had in mind, but we took our chances. We walked for what seemed a few kilometers and then we entered a huge Chinese cemetery. We found the temple hidden behind some warehouses and a crematorium and with locked gates. It was not very inviting and seemed like a little visited place, perhaps only for the dead people outside. We were let in by some family living there along with some nuns. <\/p>\n Then it was back to the cemetery and back to the main highway and up another hill to the original place we wanted to see, Thean Hou Temple<\/a>. My friend was so tired, he slept on a stone bench there. I walked around until I slipped and fell down some wet stairs. I got up and thought this is why I’m traveling while I’m young. I wouldn’t want to break a hip. It was getting dark, so I found a monorail stop, said goodbye, and went back to the hostel for my last night in Malaysia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is my last full day in Malaysia.
