In Kuala Lumpur, we rented a room in a small guest house
located in the peaceful vicinity of Jalan Gassing. The nearest LRT station Taman
Jaya was nearly a two-kilometer walking distance from our place. That two-kilometer walk was a very interesting one; first used to come a small market, where we
used to do daily dinner at Sri Paandi Gassing restaurant, which was a south Indian hotel with a very humble and cooperative staff belonging to Tamil Nadu. They always gave us a favor
by giving us extra food. Then there was a peaceful road that went straight to
Taman Jaya Lake & Park. There was a Temple located at the beginning of this
road. This was a Thai Buddhist Chetwan
Temple. I visited it on the last day of my stay in KL.
