Taman Botani Putrajaya features exotic tropical plants from different regions around the world set on 230 acres. There are about 700 species from more than 90 countries on display. I mean there are a lots of plants and not to mention mozzies to boot.


You need a good pair of walking shoes, and unlike the normal person, Eric decides to use Crocs Flip Flops and suffered at the end of the day :P



I am most likely embarking on a family portrait shots for my own but more on that later.
So i was there at around 9 to 9:30, previous photo walk team mate Jessie couldn't make it, she had a to do a "Chicken Run" for the Winter Solstice celebration i think or a.k.a "Tong Yuen" Festival.
That left me, Eric and Alvin (Who was at the immigration in Putrajaya at the time but managed to join us)

Its a weird place to me because it is practically empty, i mean the scenery is all nice from the get go, but the place is like literally dead. Me and Eric were the only cars parked there in the morning, i guess its really early.
Later in the day there were some kids and family who were renting the bicycles to ride around the are.
Fees wise, its very contradicting, the guards saw us with our DSLRs and query if we were doing "Commercial" shots. Of course i'd say "No...", and we had to then seek advice from the Information Counter, the lady was nice enough to let us in without any fees, for the love of god, it'd be RM 100 / per hour for photo shoots around the whole garden, madness !
Food is also scarce in the area, no water dispensers, no small cafes, no food stalls, they only have a Tai Thong Putrajaya Seafood restaurant there (The food was great) but you need to fork out since they don't have ala carte meals.
