Our flight from ID to MY via Air Asia was at 8AM. Time was not on our side during this trip so that ends our 32 hour visit in this city that is officially a few scales better than Makati. We rode an LCC or Low Cost Carrier in the guise of Air Asia but it actually didn’t mean a thing. Included in the Malaysia package was an airport to hotel transfer and that’s when we met our eventual tour guide Din Din. He was of Malaysia and Chinese decent and was the perfect tour guide, knows the country like the palm of his hand, mixes touristy stuff with business and economics. The hotac was provided by Corus Hotel whose location was simply the best – a stone’s throw away from Petronas Twin Towers. As mentioned earlier, the hotel was a bit pricey but the package included breakfast, land transfer, a city tour so that justifies the cost. The target itinerary for the day was to explore and take precious pictures of the 4th tallest building in the world. Lunch was at Nando’s resto whose specialty was chicken. Pork is not actually a star in this side of the globe. They had a 5 point spice meter but I was only good for entry level. My wife JML could have passed level 3 if she wanted to but I’m no spice boy. Dinner was chicken rice at Suria Mall’s foodcourt. Aside from taking tons of pictures of the twin towers, we explored the depths of the mall and was not actually successful at keeping expenses in check. Our learning point during these international escapades- avoid going to the malls.
