I've already been in KL with Kacka last year, so I took the role of tour-guide. Our first stop was at the central market. It was good idea, however the market was mostly closed at this hour (10am), so we just walked around a bit and then went to the National Mosque. I promised Ondrej that he can get there brochures on Islam describing how it really works with having multiple wives and whether it's true that having muslim wife guarantees you sex every day :) To enter the mosque, we had to dress up in the very fancy outfits not to offend Allah and off we went. Inside we were approached by a volunteer, who was actually very knowledgable and gave us a lot of background information about the mosque.

For example that the roof of the mosque is shaped like an umbrella with 16 points. Each of the points was supposed to represent one state of Malaysia - at the time of construction (1963-65) they thought that Malaysia will have 16 states. Then Brunei and Singapore left and so they ended up with 2 spare points. Somehow they thought it wasn't worth it to rebuild the mosque :) Columns inside the mosque are supposed to represent coconut trees and serve as drain pipes collecting the rain water from the roof to the underground reservoir. The water from it is used to water the greens around and also for religious baths tha muslims take there.
