The last day in Malaysia. I really loved the place but now it’s time to say goodbye. After the Austrian foreign trade office in KL we went to the airport but we got some time left to visit one last attraction: The Putra Mosque in Putrajaya. It is just a little bit over 10 years old but it is an impressive building.

Women need to cover themselves in blue overcoats and if a guy wears short trousers it’s the same. I was dressed properly. I was still wearing my suit at 38 degrees Celsius. No need to get the blue coat.

It’s size is truly impressive. It holds 15.000 people but today there was only one lonesome prayer.

The flight to Ho Chi Minh City is too short for movies. I’m too tired anyway. When we approached the airport I saw the smog of HSMC. What causes the smog is maybe the biggest attraction of the city: 2.000.000 motorcycles! But more of that in my next post.
