Grand Mosque of Medan

Here is our visit to Medan's largest mosque, the Masjid Raya Al-Mashun.


Here it is!


"Wow!" Steve commented to the friends that took us, "And what is -this- building?" They replied, "Ummm. That is the bathroom." haha.



This is the entrance, as seen when you leave the mosque... which I guess makes it the exit.



Here is Steve, having to put on a skirt-thing! (If you wanted factual cultural observations, you are totally at the wrong blog.)



Sign!



Here we are in front of the mosque! I got to wear a scarf on my head! (and by "got" I totally mean "had").



Inside. But not INside inside. We weren't allowed in there.




Door!



INside inside. Though we couldn't WALK in, we were allowed to stand right in the doorway and take pictures. This was the men's half, which explains all the mid-day sleeping going on. Am I right ladies? haha.


Stairs! When someone is making an announcement or something they do it from up there. This is on the women's side.



Another stair thing, on the men's side.




Awww!



These are our friends. Chally and Liza



What lovely windows!!



Seriously. Nice windows.
