Bus trip on 632 & 580 rapidKL

It's always wonderful to explore things in a bus of not knowing where you are going to end and what will you do at the destination.

Yes it's always interesting and a never ending entertainment when you go on these kind of road (bus) trips ...

The bus #632 is always is one of our targets for me and venki (esp venki) not knowing where it goes and where it ends we just got inside and it went on and reached the destination awan basar. 

Awan basar is a beautiful picadelli where you have both the bus and train stations with beautiful sky scrapers condominiums around which is more of a newly built ones on a small hill (bukit)

Spent some time there in an Indian restaurant where in we had telur roti and hot lemon tea each and then checked into a small super market where in we can get local made cookies for a cheaper cost ..  Then roamed around the place and  came back to the bus station waiting to catch the next bus back home ..

Got our daily office route  bus 580  to get back home via a break at endah parade JD mess for dinner .. the bus route was pretty messy and was knowing the complexity of the route .. we will never curse the bus driver henceforth for being late to our bus stop ..😆

Waiting for the bus  venki explored new routes like 651 which will be next week's plan😉
