We needed to do a visa run, and we hadn't been to Malaysia yet.  So we found relatively cheap flights, took a week off from work, and headed out.  The KL airport is probably the nicest airport I've ever been to.  It won worldwide awards several years in a row, which I was quite impressed with, mostly because I had no idea such awards existed.  I'm not sure what the criteria are for Best Airport in the World, but I'm guessing a Sbarro's is a must, and the Cheers retaurant/bar doesn't hurt either.  Add free computers with internet access and you have yourself a champion.  Unfortunately the airport is a bit far from the city and the cab was about $25.  Our taxi to the Bangkok airport was $7.

Our cab driver was cool and talkative and at least made a cursory effort to mask his scent.  Our hotel was on a busy market street so we had to hike it several blocks because no traffic was allowed through.  We arrived to an unimpressive room and a desk clerk who found my request for a working toilet and bloodless sheets obnoxiously demanding.  We stayed one night and found a very cool hotel not far away where we spent the remainder of our trip.
