K.L., Malaysia - PUTRA MOSQUE - (3 of 3)

We saw the green-domed prime minister's office complex known as the Perdana Putra and then some of us visited the rose-granite Putra Mosque, whose five tiers represent the five pillars of Islam. We took in the entire experience by participating in the “robing” and leaving our shoes at the entrance as we entered the “inner sanctum”. The mosque can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time. I picked up some interesting "literature" to learn more about the Muslim thoughts including a book on "WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?"- where did I come from, why am I here and where am I going! I also learned about why and how Muslims pray 5 times a day and the 5 aspects of their being: body, heart, mind, tongue and soul.

After a great dinner at Red Ginger, we heard an "expert harmonica-ist", Aiden Soon, and his show, "Never Say Never".
