I was brought down in Chennai, Tamil Nadu where the only season is Summer. There is a bit of dew in Dec/Jan ... but it is mainly hot, hotter and hottest days over there !!! I was looking forward for the heavy winter when I worked at Manchester in 2011/2012.  But I had to take a train to Buxton to feel and enjoy the snow in Feb 2012.  Snow level was decent and I fell in love with the white cover as soon as I stepped out of rail station. I bought a hot coffee and started exploring by foot. Best part of the experience for me was the slippery feeling I had when I was walking over the snow & I definitely slipped down once ! But I ended up enjoying the little pain although.  I also found it difficult to adjust the sun against the white sand / snow... I got some help from my cool shades (sun glass) although.  Why I remembered to write about this is I live in Singapore now and I don't even need to pack my clothes when I go Bali or Ban...

Putrajaya is close to KL and the drives takes anywhere from 30-50 min based in traffic and peak hour. It is also well connected to KLIA airport. It is part of Selangor district and Designed to be a administrative town of Malaysian govt and its officials, the town gives some sort of European feel and the river cuts across nicely. To simply put, Engineers had designed and executed well while creating Putrajaya. There is lot to explore ... like., Putra Mosque, Iron Mosque, Mercu Tanda Park, Botanical Garden, Putraja Lake and Bridge. District 21 theme park takes care of family needs. IOI City Mall offers more than 300 outlets, movies and ice skating facilities. It is a good place for site seeing; plenty of food options; Do explore and dont forget to take your sun glasses ! I forgot and I struggled a bit in bright sun shine !

Marina South Pier has some snack and souvenir shops. c. Pls wear casual clothes and flip flops. d. Do take sun glasses and sunscreen lotion. e. How about taking bluetooth speakers if you are going in group ? Where to Start: Marina south pier and buy tickets for ferry - Adult price 18 SGD; Children 12 SGD.  Ferry will first head to St. John's Island first before heading to Kusu Island... in a loop.
