I'm in a new town - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I live 30 minutes out of the city center, in a vibrant, multi-cultural neighborhood. I've been here a couple of weeks now and will stay six months or longer.
Every time I step outside my door is a new experience. I am not familiar with the location, the food, the customs, the transport, the clothing, the language, or anything else. As an old white lady alone, I stand out like a sore thumb.
I watch people's faces have a little moment of shock when they see me. This is right before they give me a big smile of welcome as we pass each other. Often I am stopped to find out why I am here, what I am doing, and if I need help. When I tell them I work on the internet, and I live here now, they can't believe it, and welcome me even more.
I walk at night most nights. I like to go out after dark and wander around no matter where I am, and this place is fantastic for my endeavor. This past Friday night was a recent highlight. People were gathered in various odd locations, burning things that may or may not have been incense, offerings, or possibly prayers. I saw sticks being burned and papers; and people fanning the flames and smoke.
When I say odd locations, I mean that they were in the medians of the road, the corners of buildings, and in the back of stores. I passed very close to some of them squatting over their fires, and people looked up at me to smile.
Do they burn things here every Friday night? Was this a special night? Do they only burn at night? I have no idea and maybe I never will. But the next night the ashes were still there, and tonight they are mostly gone.
Thanks for sharing your story :) The world is quite diverse.
Went on a roadtrip down the west coast of america last year. Myself and 4 friends. After three nights in vegas we spent the next two days hiking the rocky mountains and camped on the slopes of big Sur. It was a surreal experience but a totally different landscape to your photo. We took one trail up to this beautiful waterfall that created a rainbow in the mists and have to say that it was spectacular.
Congratulations @niallon11 on winning

Your welcome :) I look forward to your future responses.
Sounds like you had a variety of fun on your trip :)
I haven't walked to a waterfall in a while. Definitely a different environment to this though.
It was an amazing trip. we spent 3 weeks driving the west coast and hitting all the main spots along the way. I can't go into the full details but good fun was had by all.
Congratulations on winning this contest!!

I have always walked a lot, but now with @actifit incentivizing me, I walk even more! I usually just walk the streets of my community. But sometimes I go across the street and enter the 200 acre undeveloped park over there, for some hiking. There are bike trails and walking trails. There are flat parts and hilly parts. There are streams and 2 lakes. I see deer and squirrels and I hear wood peckers. It's a great place for a hike! Nothing like climbing Uluru though. I'm glad you got to visit such a cool landmark. :)
👍
How close do you live to this park? I need to start track some more steps with @actifit. It doesn't seem to stay open in the background as well recently. Have you noticed a changed?
I can go out my front door and be walking in the park in 3 minutes! @actifit is working well for me. if I need both hands then I will put it into aggressive tracking mode and put it in my pocket or sock. But if I can have my phone in my hand then I just leave the app on and I don't go to my lock screen.

Man, who does not like hikes. Even though I prefer bike rides, it is always great when you can enjoy the landscape and nature and try not to think of the problems and life ...just enjoy
👍
