At first, I only knew that kites are just a toy that flies high in the sky. I never knew that kites could be found in a museum, until the 2nd of June, I visited the Pasir Gudang Kite Museum for the first time. There were all sorts of kites, and all of them has malay culture behind its making. I had learnt that all 'Wau' have significant head, body and tail characteristics. I was so mesmerized by the handcrafted art which made the kites special and extremely beautiful, which is handed over by generations and generations. I thought of that for a while. So much delication and patience was required to make a beautiful Wau. There are even kite festivals annually. The Wau is not just an entertainment, but also a tradition of the malaysian culture.
