Goodbye Kuala Lumpur and back to Taiwan

But first one last trip - now on a fast speed train - out to Batu Caves, the 113 year old  cave, 400 feet above ground, 273 steps up.
This is not a bad website for more detailed information:  http://murugan.org/temples/batumalai.htm#.UBKQALQeP

The monkeys are beyond rascals; they will grab ANYTHING out of your hands, bags or cameras.  Here is a mother and child, but don't think she is any less capable of aggression than the others!

It's not difficult to see why this place was used as a spiritual destination.

And this is so high that we could feel the breeze coming out of one of the other caves.

Unfortunately, it was so hazy that the photo of the Petronas Towers did not come out clearly enough to see them, so later this afternoon, we walked to see them.

This is new, but I thought it a good enhancement, in addition to the cleaning up of all the red graffiti, which I normally love, but these markings just marred the aesthetic of the site.  I'm ALL for no spitting at all times!

What is an Indian site without  a gigantic Hanuman statue??

Tomorrow I am off to Taiwan again, heading down the coast to Guohsuing (sp?) for two nights and then back up to Taipei to catch my plane HOME to the U.S.  I am ready for some salad...
