Flying 45 minutes from Changi to KLIA2, we spent 60 minutes by a taxi to reach Mid Valley on the Hari Raya eve in June 2017.
The taxi fare by coupon was priced at RM84.50. There was no traffic jam all the way because most of the people had gone back to their hometown. They said "balek Kampung" for the week-long vacation.
All shopping malls remained open throughout the Hari Raya holidays. The mega Mall in the Mid-Valley were packed with locals and tourists during the festival. Staying at 28th floor of the Boulevard St Gilles Hotel was a good choice. The corner room gave us a panoramic view of the city below us.
The other half of the city could be viewed from the 9th floor where the swimming pool was located.
All the malls were interconnected. We just had to walk within the buildings to go shopping and gain access to services in the indoors. There were plenty of food available within the malls.. Travelling by taxi to the city was convenient as there were no traffic jam of the usual days.
Firecrackers sounds were heard during the midnight when Muslims crossed into the Syawal Month. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all our Muslim friends.
