How to go:
- By Car - check Google map - 'Wet World Shah Alam'. Parking is free! It's next to an aquarium/fish shop.
- Public transportation - [By rail] Get to Shah Alam KTM Station, then get taxi to Wet World (shouldn't cost more than RM10 - come with fellow returnees and share the cost :). [By bus] Bus U80 (RM2.50 one-way from KL Sentral) will stop in front of SIRIM Shah Alam, then you can walk to the theme park :)



Attire: Shirts and shorts/sweat pants are allowed. If possible wear AFS shirts so we can take some nice pictures.
