Our Chinese friends invited us to go to lunch with them to their Indian friends home. It was an open house for Deepavali, an Indian celebration. The food was good. It was spicy but not too much. Sister Ho took them a cake and bought us some candy to give them as a gift.

This is the family we ate lunch with. The two on the left are the sisters who took us. The rest are family members.

This is the younger brother and his wife. They wear these clothes for special occasions because it is troublesome to wear (that is what they told me).

This is where we wait after getting off the LRT to get on the bus (or get a taxi if we don't want to wait) to go to the mall.

This is the free bus that takes us from the LRT to the mall.

This is the bus stop at the mall to get back to the LRT. If it is too long, we take a taxi.

We watch the banana trees from our kitchen window. This is a blossom that will produce bananas.

This is four days later.

Friendrich took us to a Chinese Temple close by.

This is a fountain and turtles on the grounds.

Bruce is born the year of the ram. They had a statue for each animal of the Chinese years. There are twelve.

I was born in the year of the dog.

The Smiths went with us to Sunway Pyramid mall. They have a car so this was their first experience with riding the bus. The machine wouldn't take his money. This girl wanted the bus to get going so she is helping him purchase his card.

Street decorations for Deepavali at Sunway Pyramid mall. It is fun to see the decorations at all the malls. This mall is best for outside.

This was interesting that they had ATMs in ancient times.

Decorations as you enter the mall area.

This is Sunway Pyramid mall. We are on the crosswalk going to the bus stop.

This is entering the Sunway Pyramid mall.

This is our neighbor's durian tree. You don't pick them, they just fall. Stay out of the way. I got nine mosquito bites taking this picture. But within two hours they were gone!

Deepavali is an Indian celebration of Light over Darkness. Notice the guard by the jewelry store. We pass them as we go to the family history center and they are friendly. There are many guards.
