and malaysia was different enough that we felt like visiting

we didnt realize how muslim it was

it's pretty muslim m8

so it was quite interesting. good food, cool art

used to be different historically

we had a great time

yeah we went to a few museums and learned about all of that

but malay culture became so intertwined with muslim culture it became inseperable

the fact that there are two seperate laws

is crazy to me

but very interesting

But how and when?

malaccan sultanate onwards

From the location alone you'd assume a Buddhist culture

it was a mixture of buddhist, hindu and pagan cultures before the sultanate

But maybe that's just my lacking knowledge of everything south of China

east malaysia is pretty diverse culturally (sabah/sarawak)

i remember we were sitting in a fucking Chili's (lol) in KL and were surrounded by dozens of women wearing the full headdress

it was a weird experience

being in an american chain restauraunt in Malaysia surrounded by that

the one at pavillion?

yeah i think so

kek

you never see those types of people at places like Chili's in america

they generally eat at their own kid of restauraunts

so it was cool

my wifes mom doesnt believe me when i say most people in singapore speak english

she thinks everyone speaks chinese and thats it

she literally has no knowledge of the outside world but that doesnt stop her from saying her assumptions as facts

sigh

真的華人時刻

where else did you visit in Malaysia during your travels

besides KL and KK

there's plenty of other comfy places to visit tbh

there's Penang, Ipoh, Sipadan, Kluang, etc

it was a short vacation (only 5 days)

so we just did KK and KL

flew really fucking cheap

airasia?

yeh
