We made it!

Fourty-three hours later and we're here. Brutal, yes, but that's the cost of cheap airfare! Let me recap: We left my parent's house in Boston at 9:30AM on Wednesday to catch the 10:30 Mega Bus to NYC, where we arrived at 3:00. We ate breakfast at 4PM (were too busy that morning), and dinner at 6:00. At 8:00 we took the subway and AirTrain to JFK International to catch our 11:55PM flight. Then came the fun part: a 7 hour flight to Alaska, two hour layover, 9 hour flight to Taipei (Taiwan), two hour layover, and a 5 hour flight to KL. A quick hour public transportation trip later and we made it!



We're at the Isria Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Woohoo! A picture of our humble room is below. As you can see, the trip exhausted Janet.


On first impression, KL is a very eclectic city. The majority ethnicity is Chinese, followed by ethnic Malays and Indians. Scattered around are Caucasians and people of Middle Eastern and African descent. Malaysia is a Muslim country, and this is very apparent by the head scarves worn by slightly less than half of the women. Most people are dressed stylishly. Many of the hijab-wearing women are sporting heels and colorful, hip-hugging (not too tight) outfits.

It's 5PM now, about time to wake Janet from her slumber and go get some grub!
