The Airside Transit Hotel Sepang

... everything done, more or less just in the nick of time, and said a hurried goodbye to our beloved house. We hopped in the cab and waved farewell to Hanoi as we drove out to the airport.

One of the most time consuming things in the run-up to our departure had been trying to get Diego's flight sorted out. We had tried a number of options, and had finally settled on letting him fly with the baggage on a Malaysia Airlines flight. We got to ...

... of Dave's facebook status, the saga of the watch continues! I managed to set the alarm somehow as we were taking off from Heathrow. I was only playing with the light - honest! Well then of course I didn't know how to turn it off. Dina thought it was really funny - until he realised I was serious. We pored over Dave's written instructions for about ten minutes until Dina pressed something by accident and the little symbol dissappeared :0

... br>We then visited Genting highlands which is home to Malaysias only legal casino, and also a theme park and skydive simulator which we were more interested in. Pete and Jin went "skydiving" powered by 3 massive jet engines and it looked really good fun. We also visited the big Chinese temple up the hill too.

That evening we had dinner in a restaurant overlooking the city and watched the sun set by the Petronas towers - pretty cool! We then tried the dreaded durian. The most ...

... Dirty and sore, we grabbed our laundry we had dropped off at the local launder the day before, headed back to our barracks, showered, and headed back for Indian dinner round two.
We ran into Danielle on our way to town, and she had received my email and took the charter bus rather than the train and local bus idea, which didn't work. We all joined in for some more Indian Cuisine of Naan bread, Tiki Masal, and curries. We also hit up some Malay food and ...

... melkein parin tunnin ajan. Vain formulakisoista tutut punaisten lippujen heiluttajat kiitotien varsilta puuttuivat. Laakitsimme ilmakuoppiin syoksymisista aiheutunutta lievaa lentopelkoa suklaalla ja kokiksella. Ja yritimme keskittya lukemiseen ja valilla jazzin peluuseen. Lopulta keskityimmekin niin hyvin, etta emme kerta kaikkiaan huomanneet, etta meidan melkein pari tuntia myohastynyt lentomme oli kuin olikin jo kuulutettu ja muut matkustajat (paitsi me) olivat nousseet ...

... matkalla moottoritien varteen. Sitten taivas repesikin yhta trooppisella voimalla kuin toissailtana Sumatrallakin. Siina sitten sateessa juoksimme vaivaiset sata metria ja kastuimme lapimariksi. Ilmastoitu bussi Kuala Lumpurin kansainvaliselle lentokentalle (KLIA) oli marissa vaatteissa aika kylmaa kyytia. Toinen bussi loppumatkalle KLIA-LCCT oli onneksi ruppanampi (ja lampimampi). Mutta kyllapa oli kiva paasta uuteen Tunes Hotelliin. Huone tosin ei ole ...

... walk's busy sections, we chanced upon a vibrant version of the Malaysian night market known as pasar malam in the native tongue, where you can find a variety of goods at prices that can be haggled.

That time, the place was brimming with locals as well as tourists who were hunting for the best bargains in town as well as savor their favorite homegrown dishes in the numerous restaurants and food ...

Dasar emang nasib kami ga jauh dari kata terlantar. karena pesawat kami ditunda maka kami berpisah dari kelompok yang lain, setelah menunggu sekitar 3 jam akhirnya kami naik ke pesawat, tapi setelah sekitar sejam di taxi way tu pesawat kaga mo terbang2 dan terpaksa kembali ke gedung terminal. Alasan mereka karena ada hp yang belum dimatiin ...

... hear the F1 cars on the grid and suddenly, there they were, on their practice lap!!!!!! Fantastic!!!! We could watch the actual start on the TV, but you didn't need to see it, you could hear when they started - the noise was unreal (but not as loud as the planes!!). As they came around the bend Michael Shumacher was in the lead (surprise, surprise!), but after that anyone could have been there! We spent most of the race trying to work out who was who and who was ...

... excited about seeing him than many of the F1 drivers! We decided to treat ourselves to an ice-cream which, trust me, really was a treat because of the prices there. The food and beverages (like the merchandise) wasVERY expensive and VERY limited and they actually ran out before we could get anything so we ended up with water. We were really annoyed about this as they had stipulated no outside food and drink and they had been actively searching people's bags ...
