Lantern Festival

Went for the Lantern Festival in Sunway City with mum, aunts, cousins,nephew and Miss Cheong. Was such a drama. We kinda over shot the place, thanx to ME. Hahaha.. I was so confident that I know the place coz it was stated that the Lantern Festival is next to Sun Inns Hotel. Firstly, as we were all busy talking in the car, we miss the hotel. So we went on and on until we felt that we have come too far coz the other day we never went in that far when we saw Sun Inns. So we went into Petronas and ask for directions. We made a U-turn and all of us were on the lookout for Sun Inns. My aunt's car was following me and she must have made alot of noise in the car. Just as I were to reach the row of shop houses where Sun Inns is located, i spotted some lights on my right and true enough, it was where the Lantern Festival is. I made an emergency break to turn in. Luckily there were no cars behind. Quickly called Farrah to let her know but ala they overshot. The road to the place was sooooooooooooo dark. They should have put out some lanterns to catch the attention of visitors. For those of you who are planning to go, look out for 2 palms trees with a banner hung on it and turn left if your are coming from Giant. Will be kinda hard to find for those of you who are not familiar with that place.

The walk way towards the entrance are all brightly lit. As we reach the entrance, we saw a counter and after asking the people there, we found out that we need to pay RM8 to get in. We thought that we can pay any amount as it was written that admission is via donation but the fee is fix. There are lanterns of all the 12 zodiac animals, the God of prosperity, characters from 'Journey to the West' and many more. The lanterns are all beautifully lit but it was not to what we expected. The place where they display the lanterns is very wide but the lanterns are all scattered as there are not many lanterns on display.
