Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia XV

Visiting Malaysia was the first time I had entered a mosque. I have only seen one or two before this trip. I must confess that I know very little about the required customs for prayer. I learned that people must (at least) remove their shoes and wash their feet prior to entering the prayer floor.

Don't mistake this star-shaped pool for a kiddie pool. The devout used simple, plastic ladles to scoop water and wash their feet. Others poured the water over their feet as they climbed the short steps from the path.

Shoes were neatly aligned around the curved stairways.
