We went with our Masai elders to the Johor Bahru Kite Museum.  The official name for the museum is "Muzium Layang Layang" (Museum of Kites).  The building had a basement and 2 floors of all kinds of beautiful paper kites that are made here in Malaysia.  I took 24 pictures of all types of beautiful colored kites.

 These kites are called "wau bulan" or moon kites.  They are so famous here in Malaysia, that they are put on the $1 bills (ringgit).  We were able to get up close to each of these kites and actually touch them and see the intricate designs that they put on each kite. 

 Some kites were made into familiar animals, birds and insects.  This one was a giant butterfly and again, all put together with twigs of branches and colored paper.  The actual size of these kites is quite large.  This one is about 4 feet across and the largest one in the kite museum went from the basement to the 2nd floor, leaning against a side wall.  It was huge.

 I thought this one was quite unique.  It is the shape of a dragon with the 14 legs connected with tiny twigs and the head of the dragon being 3D.  This one was hanging very high near the roof of the building and was over a meter in length.  I had no idea that there could be so many different kinds of kites.

The kind Muslim gentleman that gave us our tickets at the entrance of the museum took a picture for us.  He was amazed that all of us could speak Malay.  The elders can really talk with him and mother and I just walk by him and say "thank you" in Malay.  From left to right is Elder Egbert (our red head), Elder Bester from Canada, our favorite kid, Elder Spurrier, and the lovable, cute Elder Capener.  Finally, the most gorgeous sister in the entire mission, with me on the end.
