Still Digging






This is one of the site where some university students are still digging for diamonds.

Inside the Muzium


























Some picture taken in the Main Complex. These artifacts are dated 1500 to 2500 years.

Visit Muzium Archologi Lembah Bujang















This are is out side of the main Museum building. It is said by our guide that there is many Deva in this area and if we are lucky enough we can feel them or even see them if they allow. I did not see any, so not so lucky. One silly incident happen when we approach the main temple or Chandi as they call it, we have to seek permission from the local deity or the Deva to visit their home. However when the monk were chanting the prayer in Pali language this malay security guard came to interrupt our prayer and ask us to stop the prayers since he is a Muslim therefore we should not offer any prayer other than Islam and he followed wherever we go. The point here is that this civiization is here tousand years ago and who is this guy to claim that all the Deva have converted to Muslim.

Trip to Lembah Bujang, Kedah with Budhist Maha Vihara (BMV)










Here we go again, but this time we are invited to join the Maha Vihara Buddhist Group of People. This place is located in Kedah and it is famous for archeology for ancient Hindu and Buddhist Civilization - 1500 to 2500 years ago. We stayed at Seri Jerai Hotel which belong to Naza Group. Room is clean and big. Food is a problem because we are Vege, but anyway we are used to this situation and we always bring spare in case of this scenario. The civilisation stated here long ago because the merchants from India who is at sea for 2 months or more will look for the first Sight of land for trading and so happen the first sight is a Mountain in KEDAH or better know as KEDARAM in those days. So they will come here for Trade and slowly the culture was wide spread in Kedah.
