Bukit Tinggi!

Hi everyone!
This will be a information post for our Year-end Stargazing trip!
We're going to Bukit Tinggi which are about an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur and it's about 2,500 feet above sea level!
So we're expecting some really nice night sky for us to explore and enjoy! (・∀・)

The details are as the following:

Date and time: 25th Nov (which is after college at about 2pm) - 26th Nov (also until about 2pm)
Place we're staying: Selesa Hill Home apartment
Cost: RM30 per person EXCLUDING foods. =D

So it's a two days one night trip with all the members XD
At night you can choose to sleep to just stay up the whole night to stargazing! However Mr President say we should not sleep before 2am.. haha. Yeah, so better don't sleep la.
Remember to bring jackets as it will be really cold in the night.
In addition I think some of us may need a sleeping bag, too. (ΦωΦ)

Let's come and enjoy the cold weather and the beautiful starry night in Bukit Tinggi!

OK.
What we will do in Bukit Tinggi except for stargazing?
*Please remember that our main purpose is to stare at the sky XD
Apparently we will have a walk at Bukit Tinggi village, and if you want, you can even buy some souvenirs or fruits etc... We will have time for it i think...because you can only stargaze at the night. LOL
You can do the shopping either before or after the stargazing event...but I think for those who plan to stays up in the whole night, will you still have energy to shopping after the stargazing?
