Yesterday, Karen and I randomly decided that we should just get on the tram, get a DayRider ticket, and go to Halfway. We’ve never been that far on the tram. A total of 22 tram stops from University to Halfway and 40 minutes from start till end. We didn’t expect it to be THAT FAR away.
On the ride to Halfway, we actually left the city and into rolling meadows and farmlands. It’s interesting to see the tram passing through the countryside. A city transport service going into the countryside, how often do you get that?! No such thing in Malaysia.
Got there, we were instantly blown off our feets as we had no idea where to go. We didn’t do any research of the place either. So we just randomly walked down a road, found out that it leads to somewhere we didn’t really wanted to go and turned back. Walked pass through some pretty houses (which I forgot to take pictures of) and about 20 minutes later, we finally found a beautiful large green grass park.
Packed with meringue, oat biscuits, hibiscus tea in a flask and notebooks, both of us had a small picnic there right in the middle of the park. Looking at people walking their dogs, big and small and writing and drawing and discussing our “future plans”.
I think people in Halfway rarely see East Asians hence they were all staring at us as if we were aliens. Well I don’t blame them, I don’t think many East Asian students will just randomly hop on the tram to Halfway. Most East Asians and even Africans all reside in the city centre. Africans and Asians in the countryside is literally non-existent.
Had a good 1.5 hours picnicking there and it was time to leave. Had a great time though! The experience of going somewhere totally unfamiliar and finding a great place for a picnic under the blue sky is totally worth it.
Only took a few pictures there cause we had such a good time I forgotten all about the camera in the bag.
