The Planet

Kuala Lumpur, December 25th 2010

The real entrance from the sign of Planetarium Negara where we hopped off the bus was actually like a 500 meters away. And, from this entrance we still had to walk like a 100 meters to...

... hmmm, main entrance? And, from this main entrance we still had to...

... climb up the stairs to get into the planetarium. Well, I know, it's not easy to go to space.

Inside the planetarium there were lots of valuable displays about our universe. Each planet had its own explicit description. There were also a couple of computer games that challenged one's knowledge about the universe and its elements.

We were fortunate to be in time for the space show. We were allowed to bring a camera into the planetarium but not allowed to take pictures inside the space theater. This one I shot before I read the announcement that taking pictures is forbidden. I wish I had my wide lens with me. It was really a gorgeous place and the show was totally awesome. Certainly worth the long walk.

I feel like that I've been on space myself and had ride on the moon.

I got up to the observatory which in Malay turned out to be called "Galeri Pemandangan".

Okay... that's Kuala Lumpur Tower.

... and, that's the stairs where I had taken in order to get to space.

Yeah, that whole blue thingy down there!
