Due to an issue with my Australian visa, we have to head back to KL a few days earlier than planned to sort that out. Instead of going on the 10-hour bus ride, we decide to fly, which costs only marginally more, but is so much easier on travel-weary joints, bones and buttocks. An hour later, we're at KL International, hop on the bus to the city for the umpteenth time, sit back and relax. Or try to... Read Full Entry

Yeah, that cross still has its original meaning in some places. It is strange. strange to see it so casually put on so many things in Asia. If it wasn't for the Nazis, it probably would be adopted by the hippies. Check out this building that we photographed in India. - http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/3634452

Gentle swastika
Hey Mell, thanks for commenting. There's a bit of a movement going on within the body modification scene that wants to reestablish the peaceful, positive connotation that the swastika had before the Nazis. Some people are getting visible tattoos of different variations of the swastika, even Germans, despite the fact that it's illegal to do that here. It still plays an important role in Buddhism and Hinduism, as you saw in India. It has been their symbol for more than 2,000 years, so why put it to rest just because some idiots in Europe used it for their own, sick purposes? Cheers, Jens
