Port Klang is at least two hours outside Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. Although, I’d like to visit
the Twin Petronas Towers, I don’t want to spend half the day in a bus
again.
We’ve opted for a trip to Putrajaya. This “Intelligent Garden City” was created by
Malaysia’s first Prime Minister in order to move the administrative duties of
the government out of Kuala Lumpur and to make travel to meetings more
convenient. All government offices and
government employees’ homes are located around this man-made lake.
It’s raining today as we take a boat ride around the lake. The Islamic influence is apparent in the
architecture. Also, we’re seeing more hijabs
and full burkas here than we’ve seen anywhere else. The call to prayer rings out as we drive
away.
It’s been a relaxing day.
We hear fellow passengers grumbling about the congested highways on
their trips into Kuala Lumpur, and we’re happy we made the choice we did.
