Miri City Tour

May 20th is Miri City Day.  Some of the activities associated with Miri City Day special theme,  we learned the symbols associated with Miri -  the Periwinkle, flower of Miri City,   the Grand Old Lady and the Sea horse.  We took the children for a city tour to see the important buildings,  famous land marks of Miri and to spot how many 'sea horse'  we can see around the city.
