as is typical for me, i got henna'ed. only i paid $3 versus the $20 it'd be in america...
the men all shave their heads. okay, not all. but many.
the henna takes concentration.
lots of preparations before the final ascent to the top of the caves.
the piercings are known as kavadi, or a burden placed upon oneself to show your dedication and ask for something from the Gods in return. it can happen in a few other forms, but the piercings are the most extreme.
i didn't figure out the purpose of breaking all the coconuts, but it was interesting.
balloon men were everywhere. also i think the man on the right was auctioning kitchenware.
a mini theme park was set up in the area. there were a LOT of rides, none of which existed when i was there in november. so of course, an unnerving ferris wheel ride was necessary.
i don't know where the theme park came from, or why it had harry potter painted on one of the rides.
from the top of the ferris wheel, we could see the petronas towers and the kl tower!
looking down on the festivities.
the other rides actually looked pretty cool. but pretty crazy.
i got to play around with my new camera's settings, so this excited me.
there were lots of mini shops set up with dresses and jewelry, and of course food. lots of food. i had a "magic ice cream" which was actually just frozen milk, but nonetheless interesting.
