Bukit Tinggi Day 1 Part 1-Japanese Village and Botanical Garden

My life was about endless revision and exams for the past 5 months
Finally had a chance to go on a two days trip to Berjaya Hills (Bukit Tinggi)
We decided to stay in a French-themed village- Colmar Tropicale
Did our booking on booking.com
The type of room we selected was superior twin room which costs RM231 including 10% service charge and 6% government tax
Due to some issues, we were unable to book our return ticket for shuttle bus service (from Berjaya Times Square to Colmar Tropicale) online
So we bought the return ticket at the office at level 8 Berjaya Times Square
The office opened everyday except Sunday (starting from 9am)
The return tickets costs Rm55 per person including entrance tickets to Japanese Village and Botanical Garden

Bon Voyage!

Since the check in time was at 3pm
We decided to visit Japanese village
Boarded the shuttle bus
Off to Japanese village
One reminder
Do check out the timetable for the shuttle bus service as different shuttle bus will take you to different destination at different time
Plan your journey well
Well
You really need some stamina to visit the Japanese village
As you gotta climb up the stairs, walk a long way, passed trough the trails in the forest
Then only you will see a small wooden house in front of you
However
Do enjoy the chirping sound of the birds, the lush greenery and the non polluted air on the way to the village
Almost reaching...rest a while ^^
Time to continue the journey
The first thing we did when we reached the Japanese Village was to rent yukata
It costs RM20 for 20 minutes
However
There were very few people on that day (weekday + not a public holiday)
We were so lucky to have the aunty (person in charge) to help us to take many nice photos and extended the supposedly 20 minutes photography session
The aunty was a very nice person
She really had the skill
We learned how to pose like a japanese, sit like a japanese and etc

The lady in charge was helping me with the yukata



Time for crazy photography session ^^



Besides renting yukata, you can spend RM3 to feed the koi fish at the pond
There was also a tea ceremony to let you know more about Japanese cultures
It costs RM28
We thought that it was not worth it
So we did not go
Next destination-Botanical garden
You can get a chance to walk into the rainforest and enjoy the beautiful view provided by mother nature


To be honest
There was nothing much to see in the botanical garden
Maybe because Im not into botany?

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Image
Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo

Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

Image
On one fine day (3rd of August) Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves Unexpected trips are the best right? So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu According to one blog The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station We initially followed But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars) After walking for about 10 minutes We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near) It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun! Your mood will be instantl
