Brickfields Tour

Brickfields is a part of KL that is officially known as Little India. In the early days of KL, the area was a center for brick-making since the whole area was a clay pit. Brickfields is also called a "Divine Location" because of the many religious structures that are concentrated in the area.



List of religious buildings we visited:
- Zion Lutheran Church
- Vivekananda Ashrama (place for meditation)
- Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple
- Three Teachings Chinese Temple
- Sri Kandaswamy Hindu Temple

Our tour was sponsored by the Malaysian Culture Group (MCG) and given by Balan Moses, a native of the area. He grew up in the neighborhood and is now one of the senior editors of the New Straights Times (local newspaper) and a pastor at Zion Lutheran Church, the first stop on our tour. He has written a book about the history and growing up in Brickfields called "Brickfields - A Place, a Time, a Memory."

We had a wonderful tour guide and exploring all of the different cultures packed into this small neighborhood was a treat! :-)
