Butterfly Park and Masjid Negara

வெளியிடப்பட்டது: 22.08.2019

Since Thursday is my short day and I didn't feel like sitting at home, I spontaneously decided to go to the Butterfly Park. Unfortunately, I realized at home that I forgot to charge my camera battery (I'm such a klutz), so the zoomed-in pictures didn't turn out so great. But at least I have a reason to go back ;) I had to pay 25 Ringgit to enter the park. The facility is not huge, but big enough, and there are really a lot of butterflies. You would expect that, but it still made me happy. So I explored the park, took more or less good photos, and simply enjoyed the butterflies. Some of them could pass as little birds... Unfortunately, around four o'clock I heard the first thunder. I looked around a bit, but then I looked for shelter. Luckily. As usual in KL, there was a heavy downpour. And I sat in my little house, and of course I didn't see any butterflies anymore. That was a bit sad, but luckily it doesn't rain here forever. Half an hour later, I continued walking in a light drizzle, which was also dripping from the net. Eventually, it stopped raining completely. The cool thing was that the butterflies started flying again, but there were no more people around. So I explored the park alone for another 20 minutes. It was really nice on one hand, but also quite sad on the other hand. After the rain, there were quite a lot of dead butterflies on the ground, much more than before, that was definitely not so great. When I was about to leave, an employee came towards me and indicated that due to the rain, the park would either close now or has already closed, I didn't really understand it. Although the first option makes more sense because it had stopped raining. So I also quickly went through the subsequent exhibition. I looked at all the living animals there and left all the dead and pinned ones behind. The only thing that was really a shame was that the souvenir shop closed as well. But since I wanted to come back with a camera anyway, I can also buy something small another time. And the park is definitely worth it, at least if you like butterflies.

On the way back, I passed by Masjid Negara, the National Mosque, and spontaneously decided to go inside, if possible. After finally finding the entrance for non-Muslims (everyone helped me so nicely, but I had to go around once) I thought it might be too late, but there was still half an hour left, and I didn't plan to stay longer anyway. So I put on a borrowed cloak and took off my shoes, and then I went in. I don't really know how to describe the mosque. It's best if you look at the pictures to get an impression. Somehow everything seemed quite sterile to me, but I still had that feeling that places of worship always evoke in me, that something big was created. In the middle there was a room for Muslims to pray. I wasn't allowed to go in, but I was still allowed to take a photo. The room somehow felt... well, homier... I don't know how to describe it... maybe it was just the color scheme. In any case, the mosque is not necessarily how I imagined it, I will compare it to other mosques in the next few weeks, where I am also allowed to enter. But tomorrow I'm going back to school first, and then we'll see what the weekend brings!
