Travelling is an awesome feeling. It allows you to experience cultures and get a taste of what each country is about.
Europe is one of the popular destinations but then again, it’s definitely an expensive place to travel to. So what if you currently don’t have the time or money now, orrrr even both??
Well, worry not because now you can experience 7 different countries all within Malaysia. NO, we’re not kidding! There’s a really big event happening on the 18th June to 3rd July that lasts over 3 weeks and it brings Malaysians to experience various countries in Europe without having to leave Malaysia!
The best part is… its open to all!
Walaooo.. so now I can go to other countries without leaving my country?
Yes it’s awesome and it’s the EWRO Fest 2016!
Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store (according to each country’s theme) and trust me, you’d definitely want to check it out.
1. England
Good ol’ England, where people are thought to only eat fish and chips and drink tea.. with their pinkies up.
At the event, anyone can hop on the London bus as the event organizers creatively transforms buggy carts into the iconic red double-decker. Visitors are able to check out the impressive backdrops of Big Ben and London city and take selfies with the cool background as if you’re really in London.
There would even be an interesting LED London Eye for you to see!
Watch the Welsh Guards from London do their incredible march and band performance, yes these are real Londoners that will fly in specifically for this event! Impressive huh? Visitors would even get a chance to learn how to play on their drums. Girls, seize this opportunity! 😉

And of course, and English party is never complete without some English goodies for the tummies! K lah, Malaysian see free food then habis dy. Whole family, grandpa grandmom also come.

So what actually is this huge awesome event we’ve been going on about?
Jeng jeng jeng!
It’s known as the EWRO Fest!
and it’s hosted by EcoWorld, across all 10 of their galleries in Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia and Penang, and the exciting event spans from 18th June to 3rd July (except Iskandar Malaysia that ends a week later, which is from 18th June to 10th July). This exciting event is held to celebrate parents’ month and what an amazing thing it is! You can bring your parents to Europe and experience their culture in our very own Malaysia!
If you’re not from either of these states, sorry gais.
Road trip maybe?
Each gallery has their own ‘Europe country theme’ which features countries from England, Italy, France, Ireland, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.
It is super cool because it has incredible activities like the ones we mentioned above to let visitors have a taste of what each country has to offer and more (because there’s literally too much things to do that we if fit it all in this article, tomorrow baru boleh habis baca).
Come join and experience Europe in our very own country!
