Sunday in KL

It is always fun to get little surprises when stumbling around KL.  After a Sunday morning of going to the early service at St. Andrew's where Doug did the children's message (you can see the heavy burden of worries burdening everyone!), we also followed form by going to the Pavilion.

Again, the Chinese New Year Decorations are so impressive and vibrant.  It was fun to show them to Julie.   But the surprise occurred when we went outside to see the fountain.  All of Bukit Bintang (a major street in KL) had been blocked off and there was a huge election rally for the governing party.  We heard singer's performing Adele songs, beat boxers doing incredible rhythms, large drum corps performing on Chinese Drums . . .and the most impressive sight may very well have been an attempt to have the world's longest buffet table.

 They had four tables running the full length of Bukit Bintang, more than a kilometer (marked off meter by meter) with covered Chinese vegetables and lots of chopsticks waiting for a massive feast.  It may very well be in the Guiness Book of World Records soon.

After seeing the sights and fighting the crowds, we ate at Din Tai Fung, which has the most amazing Chinese dumplings you can imagine.  It is always packed, and due to the glutenous nature of dumplings, we don't eat there too much (TGI Friday's which you can see in the reflection in the window and is right next door, is a much more frequent restaurant site for our family.)  Everyone loved the delicious food.
