[RECAP] Malaysia Local Guides Exploring Cyberjaya & Putrajaya, 7 Jan 2018
*Best to read on a PC
Malaysia Local Guides explores Cyberjaya and Putrajaya, twin new-generation cities in Malaysia. Whilst tourists may be very familiar with Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia, both the other cities are usually not too well known to visitors as they both are the “new generation” cities that were built for the new Malaysia. Cyberjaya being the first high-tech city for multi-national companies, and Putrajaya the administrative capital of Malaysia. Local Guides in Malaysia had planned this visit for some time now. This Sunday, we had a wonderful opportunity to visit here, and it’s not too near to Kuala Lumpur, about 1 hour’s drive.
This video is a 2-minute very short summary of our meet-up. Although, do take time to read through all the below to share in our experiences. 
It was a Sunday, and traffic to the area wasn’t too heavy. We all agreed to meet up in the Cyberjaya Lake Gardens. Google Maps Location (https://goo.gl/maps/vgiddNqmXxw). It was the first time for most of us to visit this place and over the weekends, families usually plan picnics here. We were enjoying our leisurely walk, appreciating the wonder of nature, green trees, beautiful lakes filled with fish and lotus plants, it was quite amazing. Many families were spending time with each other there. (Below)
We also spent some time updating the gaps in Google Street View in the Cyberjaya Lake Gardens, complementing the current data set with close to 100 panorama shots. (Below)
We had then taken a short drive to the Raycer Powerhouse Go-Kart Circuit. Google Maps Location (https://goo.gl/maps/2h2qcsLyfUM2). We were just intriqued by the sport of racing around in tiny open air race cars. It was fun watching people race around for a bit of time. (Below)
Then we had gone explore the Cyberjaya Community Club, and there-in, we tried a few rounds of hitting golf balls in the driving range. Google Maps Location (https://goo.gl/maps/n5ZhsyaA2dm). Again, this was the first time for most of us hitting a golf ball. The experience was very rewarding, and of course, most of the time, we missed the ball! Very good price of RM 11 (that’s under USD 3) for 100 balls. We took our time to take in the experience and were just enjoying ourselves. We even had one of the staff teach us for free! It was amazing! (Below)
After getting tired and hungry of some time hiting golf balls, we then had our snacks, drinks and cake, made by Steve. Local Guides colors and design.

After some time shooting panoramas under the hot sun, we were done with mapping for the day. Time to cool off with some cold drinks. Headed for some nice ice tea at Al-Mehran Restaurant in Cyberjaya. Google Maps Location (https://goo.gl/maps/t5tP8RgkPX42)

Wow, it was just such an amazing day. The above is just a summary, we just could not fit all the photos and videos into this Recap. Still have tons of 360 video to process. Thanks for reading until the end! Hope you enjoy our photos and videos in this post.
