KL: Zoo Negara
October 20, 2009 Kuala Lumpur, yassin
Finally! After more than 20 years, I revisited Zoo Negara (National Zoo) today for the 3rd time. The first visit was when I was 10 and second time was when I was 19. The trip to the zoo is actually less than half an hour from my home but I do not know why it took me so long to revisit the place. Went only with my son as husband got to go to work. We had fun calling out to the animals while waving at them. It was like meeting long lost friends, really 
Here are some pictures from the zoo (click to enlarge):
A bit info about Zoo Negara
