Batu Caves

We started off this morning with a 45-minute bus ride to the Batu Caves, which are some 4 million-year old caves decorated with Hindu statues all over. The initial 272-step climb wasn't as bad as I thought. We saw lots of moneys along the way. One money was drinking water out if a puddle and when I started taking pictures of it, he got pissed, started hissing, then chasing me. I ran off with him chasing me for a little bit. The caves were very beautiful. They were very deep and had greenery along the opening and water trickling down. We spent most of the time taking pictures of monkies eating coconuts and chasing each other (and me). I think it was worth the $2.00 roundtrip bus ticket.






We got off the bus at Chow Kit to do some shopping, but the stores sucked, so we got back on the bus to go to Central Market. But the bus we got on wasn't one of the major bus companies so they waited about 10 minutes until they filled it with customers. But it was 10 minutes of AC so it was okay.
