Malaysia: Putra Jaya Hot Balloon Festival

21 March 2010

Putra Jaya Hot Balloon Festival

That was my first time going to Putra Jaya. With the help of GPS, which I think is a brilliant invention by human, we started our journey at around 8.30 in the morning. Though with the assistance of GPS, I made a few wrong turn still. However, I saw some nice buildings on the sides. Thank to the wrong turns that lead me to see such nice view. One of them was Golden Horse Palace. It is actually a hotel.

After some time, we finally reach the destination. It was so crowded but surprisingly I saw some people leaving as well. I told my wonders to my friend sitting next to me. Another big surprise was we only saw three balloons. "What is going on? Are we at the right place?", we asked each other. The balloons did not captivate much of my attention, but the buidlings around there did. I like the environment there so much. The road was clean, the padestrian walkway was decorated nicely, and the buildings was special. By reading the label on the building, we realized that most of them were governmental building
