Putrajaya - December 2007

We took a day trip to PutraJaya, the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. It is a planned city and reminds me of Canberra. We started off by taking the KLIA Transit from KL Sentral. When we arrived in Putrajaya, we prepaid for the taxi to zoom us around the various tourist spots in Putrajaya (in one hour) before taking us to the Mines Shopping Fair.

	Seri Wawasan Bridge with its sail-ship apprearance.
	Putra Mosque - the principal mosque for Putrajaya.
	Istana Darul Ehsan - one of the royal residences of the Sultan of Selangor.
	Perdana Putra which houses the Malaysian Prime Minister's office complex.
	Istana Melawati - second national palace and serving as a royal retreat for the King. (According to our taxi driver - best viewed from faraway).
	Seri Perdana - official residence of the Malaysian Prime Minister.
	Mines Shopping Fair - I had to come here to see the canal running through a mall. There wasn't all that much at the mall (or maybe I was just sick of shopping after 5 days in Bukit Bintang).
