ARRIVAL IN  KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
This is one of the most beautiful airport that I've seen so far. I was really impressed by the playful combination of  pastels and vivid colors painted within the interior signifying youth & vitality.

We had a nice experience sleeping in the airport since we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 2AM from Kota Kinabalu. While waiting for bus and MRT going to KL Sentral that start their business hour at 5AM, we find our cozy place and sleep. Airport security will wake you up at 5:00AM

LESSON LEARNED AT PETALING JAYA
A week before our travel, we booked for 2-night accommodation in this place at Petaling Jaya with a famous on line booking website. The address contains the right street name, building number and the cell phone number of the owner. But it does not tell the unit number. We tried to call the owner but she does not reply. Some Africans holding Bibles who were at the lobby ready to go to church helped us call the owner but again she did not reply. Well the lesson here is make sure to ask the owner thru email for important details of your a before confirming your booking.

CHECK IN AT JOHN SHUN HOTEL
We checked in at this nice small cozy hotel for MYR 50 per night.
