Balloons! Balloons! Balloons! 飛波!

1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009. From 19th to 22nd March, balloonists from around the world come to Malaysia to… erm… fly their balloons! This is the first time Malaysia is organizing such hot air balloon event. We Malaysian seldom got the chance to see these balloons. So I’ve decided to go.

I woke up 6 something this morning just to go there hoping to take some nice pictures. Reached Putrajaya around 7:15am. Already saw 1 balloon setting up. And it’s the Nescafe balloon. Talk about branding huh.
