Waking of the Dead!
One thing you notice or should i say hear when you travel to a Muslim country is the “Call to Prayer”. The Call to Prayer is basically some sort or prayer or chant that is blasted through speakers throughout the city a few times a day to get people or alert them that its time to pray. Most people i meet find it annoying because the first one booms out at 5-am… and when i say “Boom” i mean its loud enough to wake the dead! But i tend to find it somewhat peaceful and relaxing. Take a listen to the audio clip below that i recorded a few days ago, this one wasn’t that great as the guy seemed to be forgetting the words. Call to Prayer audio
Also here in Malaysia its hard not to notice how much the Malaysian and United States flags look very similar. The famous Thailand quote works well here “Same Same… but different.” The Malaysian’s are very proud of their country and show their pride by sticking flags pretty much everywhere.
