Have A Seat In Malaysia

Maybe it's due to year 'round warm weather. Or how little a basic plastic chair costs. In Malaysia, like in Ethiopia, unattended chairs seem to be everywhere. Pull up a seat and take a look.

Behind a fence.


Taking a break behind a restaurant. In the street, waiting for a ride?

Going upscale from humble plastic.


Guarding parking spaces. Waiting for feet.

Looking like they sank into concrete quicksand. Who decides to chop the legs?

Guan Di Temple In Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur may be hurtling toward a modern, skyscraper-filled skyline yet some significant structures remain. For Chinatown, the Guan Di Temple, built in 1886 and dedicated to the God of war, is one of the landmarks that anchors the neighborhood.

Entrance.


Looking at the main prayer area.


Burning things is big, prayers to prosperity and incense.

Details, sculptures and offerings of food, always impressive.

Altar area detail, a color feast for the eyes.
