HE SAID: Today's activity could be my second favorite on the trip so far. We actually were planning on seeing the fireflies last night. We left for our 90 minute taxi ride at 4:30 pm and at about 5:30, it was pouring. Fireflies, like people, don't like the rain and don't come out, so we decided to head back. Traffic was so bad we ended up gettin...

Today we got up early and got the bus to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia capital city. Once again the bus was very spacious and sooo cheap! Plus the trip was only 2hrs.

38,000 feet above the earth's surface, and beginning our descent. Just a thick layer of cumulus clouds now separated Leanne and I from our first steps on Malaysian soil. Surprisingly, this would be my third visit to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, but having never set foot past the immigration officials in my two previous encounters (both am...

Horizon club bedeutet, dass man im 26. Stock residiert. Ausserdem kann man 24h am Tag in die Horizon club lounge gehen, wo einem Drinks, Snacks und weitere Delikatessen servi...
