Also known as the Taman Bunga Raya and Taman Bunga Orkid respectively, the
former houses a collection of over 500 hibiscus flowers while the latter has
about 800 species of orchids. The one-ha park has lovely pergolas, manmade
fountains, twisting brooks and a beautiful art gallery, the Gallery Tropika.

Bird’s Park and the Butterfly Park if you are interested in visiting more things
of the same kind.

STAR WARS AND BEYOND
Six years later, Soundscape Records is welcoming back experimental instrumental rock band Battles since their maiden KL show. Battles’ sound is full of
kinetic energy, and they haven’t lost that with the release of their third album
La Di Da Di. Much of their works explore repetition and sounds that could
appear disjointed, but in their hands, it’s seamless. It’s difficult to give you a
generalised explanation of the band’s sound without going off into a tangent
full of adjectives that still won’t do their brand of art rock justice. So, it is
best you watch them live yourself!
