Holiday hijinks

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!: This may not be your typical modern predator but the skeleton alone is convincing enough. The ongoing Dinosaur’s Live! exhibition at the National Science Centre, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur is a hive of activity as parents took the recent school break to give their children an opportunity to roam the Mesozoic era and see how these mighty creatures once ruled the Earth. The exhibition features interactive learning and includes animatronic dinosaurs and fossil-finding.

SPIRITUAL TOUCH: Novice Thai nuns walk in line to receive food from people at the Sathira Dammasathan Buddhist meditation centre in Bangkok, Thailand. A small but growing group of Thai girls are choosing to spend part of the school holiday as Buddhist nuns, including having their heads shaven, collecting alms from worshippers at dawn and meditating. This year, the centre arranged for the ordination of 137 women between the ages of five and 63. —Reuters
