5月12日 Finals Week is DoneYAAAAAAAAAAAAAY....... Finals week is done!!!!!! Over!!!!! Gone!!!!! Finished!!!!!! Ended!!!!! Ok, I'm not going to think of any more synonyms. You get the point. Although, my 10 page book report for Islamic Studies is being delayed till Thursday, 7:00 P.M. next week, because it's not due until Friday of that week. And, to top it off, I haven't even started reading the book. SAD. Ok, so I'm not going to worry about my book report right now. OH MY GOD, MY BOOK REPORT!!!!!!!!! No, I'm going to forget it, right now. There's books everywhere, I can't forget it. So maybe I shouldn't forget it, maybe I should actually start working on it. NOT!!!!!
Batu Caves, located about 11km to the north of Kuala Lumpur, was discovered over 100 years ago, and has grown to become an important devotional site to Hindus, as well as a highly popular tourist spot. Each year, during the Hindu festival of Thaipusam, devotees and the curious alike throng the area in the hundreds of thousands. Estimates put the average figure at between 800,000 and one million! Thousands of them carry kavadis as fulfilment of vows; with their bodies pierced by hooks, needles and even skewers, these entranced devotees make quite an impression on the visitor who is seeing them for the first time. The most famous cave is the Temple Cave with its large cavern and a 100m-high ceiling. Devotees climb the 272 steps to this temple as a sort of pilgrimage. Visitors may climb the steps as well although the huge crowd during festivals may prove difficult to get through. Below the Temple Cave is the Dark Cave, a 2km-long network of chambers that is thought to be largely unexplored by man. There are also numerous cave-dwelling creatures here that are unique to this part of the world. To enter this cave, you will first need the permission of the Malaysian Nature Society.
