Bon Odori

It's the 12th of July 2008 and it's the day of Bon Odori, celebrated as a reminder of the gratefulness one should feel toward one's ancestors. The location of Bon Odori is in the Panasonic Stadium in Shah Alam. It so happened that there's free shuttle service from Shah Alam KTM station to the Panasonic Station during Bon Odori.

I went to Mid Valley with both my sisters by car after lunch. From there, I took the KTM from Mid Valley to KL Sentral and proceeded from there to Shah Alam KTM station. When I arrived at the Shah Alam KTM station, there were many buses waiting to send us to the Panasonic Sports Complex. I just boarded the first bus that I saw and off I went to the Panasonic Stadium. When I arrived there, it wasn't 5pm yet. The stadium is not open for the public to enter just yet. When the stadium opened, we went in and looked around happily

I was about to leave the stadium before 7pm but I was told that there is no free bus shuttle service from the Panasonic Stadium to the Shah Alam KTM station at that time. So, I was forced to walk to the nearest bus stop (which wasn't near at all) but to no avail. I finally paid RM5 to take a taxi to the nearest KTM station (Batu Tiga KTM station).

Although it wasn't an easy day, travelling all the way to Shah Alam and getting stuck there, I felt pretty happy that I went there. It was a good experience. Besides, what the heck.... IT COULD BE WORSE
