\"Blind<\/p>\n

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ohne Erwartungen, ohne besondere Vorkenntnisse. Nur eine weitere Gro\u00dfstadt. <\/p>\n

Nachdem das Schlafdefizit am zweiten Tag mehr oder weniger ausgeglichen war, konnte heute die Stadterkundung beginnen. Das Gute an Hostels ist, dass Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck in der Regel nur am Vormittag angeboten wird, was das Aufstehen erleichtert.<\/p>\n

Die Stadt entpuppte sich jedoch als schlecht geeignet f\u00fcr unsere K\u00f6nigsdiziplin: das sinnlose Umherlaufen. \u00dcberall wird gebaut, gefr\u00e4st, zers\u00e4gt, gekl\u00f6ppelt. Stra\u00dfen und Fu\u00dfg\u00e4ngerwege gehen ineinander \u00fcber und alle Wege f\u00fchren im Kreis der m\u00e4chtigen, aber relativ unspektakul\u00e4ren Petronas Towers. Ringsum versuchen andere Geb\u00e4ude nachzuziehen und man fragt sich, warum. Auf Hochglanz polierte, in den Himmel reichende Prachtbauten f\u00fcr Banker und Spekulanten aus aller Welt, darunter kleine, in den Dreck gestemmte Wohnbunker f\u00fcr die zahlreichen Wanderarbeiter.<\/p>\n

Reste von Urwald in und um der Stadt. Ein riesiges Felsmassiv, der Pilgerweg hinauf begleitet von hinduistischen Gottheiten, zu einer weitreichenden H\u00f6hle mit verspielten Affen. Aber das reicht alles nicht. Zu sehr gleicht die Stadt schon anderen, trotz der Hitze sp\u00fcrt man die K\u00e4lte, mit der die Geb\u00e4ude hochgezogen werden, oder eher derer, die sp\u00e4ter dort ihre Gesch\u00e4fte machen werden.<\/p>\n

Wir haben genug gesehen – vielleicht. Auf dem R\u00fcckweg fallen uns die vielen blinden Menschen auf, die durch die Stra\u00dfen laufen, alleine oder in Gruppen, wohin eigentlich?<\/p>\n

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Without expectations, without any special knowledge. Just another metropolis.<\/p>\n

After the sleep deficit had been more or less balanced out on the second day, we could start exploring the city today. The good thing about hostels is that breakfast is generally served in the morning making getting up easier.<\/p>\n

The city, however, turned out not to be appropriate for what we can do best: random strolling. There are building scenes everywhere. Streets and footpaths merge and all ways lead in the circle of the mighty Petronas Towers. Around them, other buildings try to catch up and you wonder why. Mirror-finished, sky-reaching buildings for bankers and speculators from all over the world, small bunkers mortised in the dirt below, home to numerous migrant workers.<\/p>\n

Remains of the jungle in and around the city. A huge rock massif, the pilgrim\u2019s path accompanied by Hindu gods, to a far-reaching cave with playful monkeys. But all of that is not satisfying. This city already resembles others too much, despite the heat you feel the cold in the way the buildings are pulled up, or rather of those who will do their business there later.<\/p>\n

We have seen enough \u2013 maybe. On the way back, we realise the many blind people walking along the streets, alone or in groups, but where to?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
