Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly awaaaay~

If you happened to be in Putrajaya last weekend, I bet you saw at least one or two multi-coloured hot air balloons in the sky. Why you ask? Well, last week happens to be the 4th Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, a 4-day event from 15 - 18 March 2012, 7am to 9pm.

The event was held at Monumen Alaf Baru, Precint 2 in Putrajaya and showcased all sorts of hot air balloons - from the average shape to ones you didn't even think to see floating up in the sky!

This home grown event gained interest from all around Malaysia as well as neighbouring countries. Most of the hot air balloons had their nation's flag tied to the side so it was pretty easy to identify where they were from.

The countries that participated this year were Belgium, France, Germany, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, Thailand, USA, and Vietnam.

Malaysia's very own participation was from Kedah Darul Aman, piloted by En Mohd Sobri.

If you missed your chance to see them in action, be sure to mark your calendar for next year's fiesta!
