Sing her adventures in Thailand travel notes: Malaysia interesting _ abin _ on the Chinese people

As a professional tour guide Miss Chen and gracious service, I do travel to Malaysia. Starting from off the plane, every time we had got into the car cleaned Khan gasping, Ms. CHAN has opened the microphone on our "gossip", a choice morsel from customs to interesting. This is my fun, then I'm sorry I didn't bring a small tape recorder to her "speech" into the "historical records", had to return to the hotel every night on "homework", with the hotel of paper and pen to the day of knowledge (in particular the smell). Trip back home, get out and see this pile of "travel journal" was actually a variety of hotels in paper and colourful Hotel handwriting. But no matter what, it's text, especially in Malaysia, it is precious. Malaysia is a Commonwealth country, the original colonial United Kingdom. Unlike many Commonwealth countries to the Queen of the United Kingdom as their head of State, heads of State of Malaysia is called Sudan, he is a Federation of nine States of Sudan round of elections. Malaysia's Sudan is not a hereditary, but States of Sudan is hereditary. There are 13 States of Malaysia, the rest of the four States of Sudan is not. The four States, two by the Chinese when the Chief of State. We all know, the King, the Sudan, the vast majority of the heads of State in just a couple-like, never ceased to exercise real power, is the Government-the Prime Minister. Malaysia's Prime Minister is Mahadi, they all pipe he called Mahadi doctor. Do you also like my Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, learn to be a doctor but in politics ? Malaysia is Muslim countries, Islam is the State religion. Malay Muslims a birth that is, 100%, there is no other choice. In Malaysia, in compliance with the prohibition of the tightness will believers into three categories. The strongest believers live in economically backward regions. These areas of Christians observe religious, women must body black cloth wrapped, just open your eyes, even the eyes with sunglasses cover, conceal nothing. If her headscarf touch men around, even if they are inadvertently dropped, or strangers with this man, it must immediately married and this man as his wife. On religious implementation belongs to medium severity of Muslims just pack a gown to the hood, but most kuansongzhe is a class of ordinary clothes. Muslim countries men marry according to Canon to the four wives, the woman of course can only marry a husband. Muslim children can only be a Muslim, do not have other choices, but the foreigner can choose when improper Muslims. Because Muslims only and Muslim intermarriage, you want to marry or marry a Muslim must into Islam. But if you are a foreign man, coveted four with can marry his wife's "Preferences", then you must swear to baptism into Islam, as Muslims. When Muslims seems to be not difficult, just your last name to read (at least with a last name) Expatica. Therefore, we very rarely and ethnic Muslim man marriage, a marriage will have to change names, even fathers want to forget, who dry! Islam fasting month you may have heard, this turned out to be a bit so awesome, interesting family cases. Probably the same with the moon to make calendars based on reason, Muslim new year and Chinese new year is usually very close to each other. One month before the Muslim new year is the fasting month, this month, all Muslims are every day from early morning until 5 six (the specific time due to geographical different slightly) began around half past seven in the evening do not eat anything, harsh point not to smoke, not even water to drink. Fasting month end, the new year began. The strange thing is that new year end is which day? fasting month is 29 days or 30 days? prior is nobody knows. Only to the fasting month of 29 days of night, Chancellor to the beach to see the results of the Moon is in the air. This night if you can see the Moon, then the next day that is a beginning; if you don't see, is postponed for the day. Oh, Holy things or it can be such an interesting of! this all day and not eat of the commandments is motivated by the arrival of the cultists in the new year, also because of the strict prohibition. Daytime education ministers will four out of the inspections and look forward to seeing people, foreigner to be "a snitch" find out who is contrary to the Charter, "family" punished not relent. Thus, every night is gathered, the Hui ethnic restaurants, poly-full time, such as people scrambling, gobble up as we go Bell after the canteens. Muslims are the five hour every day to pray, worship, what to do with anything in the West to pause for prayer. Therefore pray that place can be a House, street, Office, etc. Therefore, in many buildings, or is the highway is built for "emergency" prayer of the premises. All of the hotel, has a clear arrow points to the West tell residents in the direction of prayer. The arrow in the lavatories of smallpox, smallpox, sometimes in the room, sometimes Tibet in the desk drawer. To Malaysia, interesting place may more than these? (The original March 1998)
