National Museum, A Journey to the Past

There was nothing much to do in the third world on a regular Sunday. Me and the neighbor kids decided to make it meaningful and worthwhile (i guess so) by trooping the National Museum. We braved the scorching heat of the sun to get a glimpse of the past.

It was Sunday so the visit was free. Digital cameras were prohibited (but not mobile phones with camera so i courageously used my phone to take some photos). Information overload and feast to our very own eyes were the relics displayed. Would you believe that there were "komiks" too in the exhibit area dating back 1950s? There were some foreign tourists too and some locals but you can count them with your fingers.

So much for the blabbering and pictionary ahead.

It was a tiring but wholesome entertainment.

Kids these days should be taught about our rich history and cultures rather than being educated by an idiot box where violence, sex and commercialism abounds. If only the government could spend properly the allocated budget in education then maybe, just maybe kids of today will be...... (your opinion may fill in the missing phrase).
