Then we had lunch in a hawker centre somewhere in Taiping (seems unnecessary to mention this). I took only popiah as I wasn't famished, but my friends took some noodles as they were pretty hungry and wolfed them down exceptionally fast.
Then the benevolent brought us to Museum, as requested. The torrential rain disrupted our plan because it made our transport exceptionally inconvenient. Anyway we visited the Museum around 2pm. The entrance was free of charge, and hence we spent our time there without restrictions or worries.
It wasn't really boring though. Some of the artifacts looked phoney and some looked deliberately altered, but since this museum was set up for the purpose of preserving historical facts and conserving historical knowledge, having bogus samples aren't a big thing to whine about. As long as the facts are true, samples don't matter. If you wanna look at historical monuments or any objects that are historical, go to Muzeum Negara.
As I mentioned before, the museum in Taiping was set up solely for preserving historical facts, therefore we weren't there to enjoy artifacts or monuments, we were there to read those cultures, animals or objects that are now extinct, nonexistent, or defunct. A lot of things there did not catch my attention as I wasn't a person who shows a liking towards history. But since the entrance was free and the air-conditioner was on, plus the fact that rain was bucketing down outside, we sat down in a bench inside the museum, slightly secluded, and talked for almost half an hour before we left the museum. We were smart right, for taking advantage of the museum. :)
