As mentioned at the beginning of Seoul Long Layover #1: Temples, I headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with almost zero notice, but I had an INCREDIBLE time teaching to a project team made up of brilliant folks from government, CyberSecurity Malaysia, and academia, UTM.

I was also blessed with one gentleman, Khairol Faisal, being so generous to offer up an entire day from his very busy schedule to take me to Melaka!

As Khairol is pointing out, a big focus of the cultural center is the different types of homes that were traditionally found in each of the states. Here are a couple of these beautiful structures. I was lucky to try experience first-hand some traditional food and play some traditional gamesgames from a few of the states.

...

I even learned to perform some of the traditional work!!

...

I especially liked the performances and getting to meet these awesome folks.

...

I’m leaving out all the video of my on-stage “participation”, but I really enjoyed getting to use the blowgun!! I sure hope Khairol deleted those movies like he promised he would!!

UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Melaka is honored by being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and at the center of it all is a large complex of historic building & monuments plus multiple museums devoted to the history of Malaysia. Of course, not all you will see in Melaka is “historic”…

...

The museum complex entrance is down by the river, but quickly climbs the hills of the choresthe city.

...

I learned a lot about the historic hand-weapons of Malaysia. These are very deadly instruments indeed and every nook & cranny have a purpose (all focus on injuring or killing an opponent).

...

The museum complex continues to rise up in the hills and offers even more beautiful views.

...

Eventually the highest point is reached and you are treated with St Paul’s Church.
