SAMSUNG007: Fire flies

Fire fly park located in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur.

“Mom! I want to see fire flies! Where does the fire fly lives at?? What do they feed on??”

Chan Hee has so much to ask looking at his insect encyclopedia.

Although there were precise descriptions in the book, he said he want to see the fire fly for real and he suggested me to visit the fire fly park.

I was quite attracted to his suggestion as I was born and lived in Seoul; I never saw the fire fly too.

Fire fly is called ‘Gae-Ddong-Beol Rae’ in pure Korean.

After I have understood the location, we planned to depart on Friday when Chan Hee’s lesson finishes early. We departed around 5o’clock as we will see the fire fly only after the sunset.

We packed our snacks, fruits and mosquito spray to avoid the mosquitoes.

Chan Hee and Jun Hee looked very excited.

They keep on reading their insect encyclopedia inspecting the fire fly.

I was really proud!! They looked lovely!!

Jun Hee was also interested of the book his brother was ‘so’ into it. Jun Hee can understand the pictures only.

The weather was very clear and helped our trip.

I took the picture of this clear sky in the car.

Malaysia’s sky is really gorgeous. The sky boasts its different color mood every second.

We went over the Batu Cave and straight following the milestone (54 highway), turn right on 33 highway and straight…

Although we have not yet saw the fire fly, the scenery was really artistic.

The tea farm reminded me of Bo Seoung Tea field and Malaysian grave which really inspired me.

After we drove 2 hours from K.L, we reached the fire fly park.

The sun hasn’t set so the children played in the playground and my husband (who loves to take pictures) was busy taking the scenery into the camera. I got ready the snacks upon my family.

We were happy while waiting the sun to set.

‘Mommy, when can I see the fire fly??’ Jun Hee continuously asked me.

Finally a person sits on the counter. The loan fee for the boat was RM40/ 4 people in a boat.

After we equipped ourselves with life jacket we got on the boat.

The boatman kindly explained us the place. We were scared to depend our life on the old boat, but after we saw the tree of fire flies, we were amazed.

Chan Hee and Jun Hee were amazed and kept their eyes fixed.

The boatman stopped the boat where there were most fire flies and left the fire fly on their hand.

They were afraid at first, but it was only a moment. They asked the boatman for more.

The fire fly blinking its body in signal for love was really pretty.

The boatman said the day was best conditioned to see the fire fly. The moon light was weak and the river was full.

The beauty of the light by the fire fly in the darkness gave our family happiness.

On the way home, we ate roti and nasi goreng and still we were happy because I had a family to be together.

Malaysia travel by you.
