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.
