Kuala Lumpur

I arrived at Kuala Lumpur airport at 9.30pm. I caught the express train into the city, then I was totally lost, stuck in the middle of the night, with a super heavy bag and no idea where to go. With the help of a friendly local, I managed to find the monorail station - a long and heavy walk from Sentral Station, then finally arrived at Bukit Bintang, the location of my hostel, the next step, actually find the hostel, that was interesting! My directions said under the Sony Ericksen sign (ok, where is that?) and next to McDonalds (found that, but where now). I eventually found the tiny door with the tiny sign for my hostel and then attempted the 2 storey climb with my 23kg suitcase, not fun when dripping with sweat...ewww!

The man at reception was really nice and said "Melea, why such a heavy bag?" and carried it up for me.

Finally, I was checked in. First stop now - a nice cold shower. Boy was that a good shower. I then hopped in my jamies and straight to bed. But wait, very noisy and only one blanket with no sheets, oh and a pillow as hard as a rock. What a fun sleep, I woke up at 5.30am absolutely freezing cos the air con was too cold, so put my towel over my blanket and savoured my 3 more hours of sleep.

Day one over!!!! what a mission!!!!!
