One tip for walking in Malaysia: Watch the ground! There are holes in the sidewalks all over the place leading to drainage channel underneath. There was a number of times I was shocked to see a grate or cover or block of concrete missing from the sidewalk. It seems easy to get hurt if you’re not paying attention.
In the afternoon, I made it to the Low Cost Carrier Terminal of the airport. I used up my last Malaysian Ringit on some chocolate. The terminal was really low cost. You have to walk out to the plane. They call you up to a door, and then they point out there on to the runway and say “Get on the blue plane!” There are like 6 planes in the direction he points, you have to walk across the tarmac watching out for vehicles driving around, then going up the stairs to your airplane.
The airplane was on time. There are two areas for immigration. One main one and another one that seems to be for airplane crews mostly. So I used the latter one since there was no one in line. Only downside, the officer will take a long time checking your passport since he is so bored. Technically, I think I’m supposed to pay for a $30 Visa, since I already used up my 3 visits within 90 days. But I told him I’m only staying in the country three days and he gave me the free temporary stay. I got on Airport Express Bus 2 (AE2) and got to Khao San Rd. Then I walked five minutes north to KS House. For dinner I got some bread and water from 7 ELEVEN.
